........really bro....damn cause i was thinking this might be a minor problem....but i dont get why....it should be simple" record your music play back what you did and thats that".......PLEASE IF ANY ONE'S KNO A SOULATION that we should try??

It actually should be as simple as what you're expecting...
Let's check out the basics going in to see what the problem might be.

Can you give us a few details?

Are you recording direct in or using a mic (or both)?
If it's a mic, is it a condenser?
Are you assigning the input(s) to the track(s) you are wanting to record onto?
Is the 'Record' button flashing or showing a steady light when you are recording?
Are you seeing movement on ALL the level meters on the screen? (i.e. the INPUT meters (A-B), the MASTER meters (L-R) AND the individual track meters (1-2/3-4/etc)

Other things to check: Headphones not plugged into the footswitch jack, or insuring that you are using the LINE OUT jacks (RCA) and not the FX Return (1/4") to connect to your amp/monitors.

Check out these things and get back to us... Hopefully it's just something simple

.......................hey bro thanks alot.....i just figured it out few hours ago what i had to do was to assign the tracks you want to record on to input 1 or 2.3...damn tascam,.should just keep it simple,lol...i was use too korg..which i feel are good...but now im with tascam...i have only this machine a day im not a huge expert on recording...but im getting to grips with it,...its a nice unit"...now im just looking foward to putting up some music after i record...cheers guys

It looks like everybody has the same problems with this recorder. Assigning is the problem. I had the problem too. You only have to read the manual, it is so easy but it takes time.

Problem

I can't seem to get very loud audio material on this machine? When I am recording, I set the Input knob that I am using all the way up so it is the loudest possible. Then I set each track as far up as they can go, so they are within the white mark, and I do the same with the "Master" knob. However, I still can't get very loud results when I put it on the computer. Here's something I uploaded on this tascam:

If you are exporting a master be sure and check that you've got the master fader up high enough during mastering. Do you have the same problem with individual tracks?
