I apparently need to be talked to like a 3 year old.
I have a Tascam 414 and a decent stereo component tape deck. I've read a couple of things about using the component deck to get more tracks out of my four track but I've tried what I think I'm reading and it doesn't work.
I think what I'm reading is telling me to mix down to the tape deck - take the tape out of the tape deck and put it into the 4 track and then I should have two tracks. Well, when I do that I get no readings on my 4 track and the music is really sped up (and kinda quiet).
How, exactly, do I get these extra tracks? I need every step pointed out to me. I've tried every configuration of the RCAs and the only thing I can think that may work is to get 1/4" adaptors for my RCAs and plug them straight into tracks 1 and 2. Is that what I'm supposed to do? Do they make RCA to 1/4" adaptors?
All I wanna do is rock - please, please help me.
Thanks
