I was wondering. I don't have a lot of money - But i was wanting to know if I could just buy a simple application to clean up old audio recordings. I have an iMac computer, which doesn't really support a new sound card. But I do have a Stand-alone CD burner. Could I burn the Audio. Put the...

Is there any software out there you can download for free and for a mac that would clean up old recordings? - Take care of tape pops and hiss etc...?:cool:

Basically my question is rather simple. A few years ago I had a Tascam porta 464(i think that is what it was called). It was a grey machine with a built in mixing board. Then I decided to move up to an 8-track machine. So I got a Tascam 484. Of course I sold the 4-track. MY BIG MISTAKE - I...

Would it be stupid/wrong to go to best buy and get a CD recorder/re-writer and mix down from my Tascam analog 8-track to the CD recorder. Would it really help my sound? Would it be worth the money I spend on it? Or would it be wiser to just mix down to a normal audio tape and take it to a...

Does anybody know how to do Artificial Double Tracking(ADT)? I know the Beatles invented it some 35 years ago, so I would think in this day and age there would be some way to do it relatively easy. I have a tascam 488 8-track analog machine. Is there some way to record say a vocal on to track...

Does anybody know how I could mix down to my iMac from a tascam 488 8-track anolog machine? Are there any wires or anything that could turn the audio out jack into something like a USB cable? And would I need special software. I'm pretty ignorant in the digital recording world. Any help...

I was trying to find out if there was a way I could mix the music I have on my Tascam 488 8-track down to my iMac. The iMac is actually the first model that came out, so it doesn't have a CDR-RW or anything. I don't think a sound card with the appropriate "jacks" or whatever can be put in it...

I haven't tried mixing down on VHS yet, but everybody talks about how great it is. - can I just hook up regular stereo speakers to the VCR or should I use something different. Should I leave it pluged into the TV or will that even work? - just wondering.

I have a Tascam 488 8-track - I'm trying to figure out if it is wiser to let the mic feed more through the trim(the very top knob) or if I should let the fader at the bottom give the mic more input to the track. I hope this makes sence. One more thing - Track 1 is going faulty or something...

My question is simple - Does anyone know if the phantom power should be on or off -What does it do? Does anybody have any theory as to how loud your stereo needs to be turned up when mixing(if you are mixing to a stereo).

OK first of all I have 2 questions. I have a tascam 488 8-track machine. I don't have any thing that great to mix down to. It's just a stereo. And I don't have the money for something great - Anyway - On the stereo itself, is a built in Graphic equalizer (just more sliders and dials to...
