Hope someone can help me,I just bought a used Teac Tascam Series1 8 channel line mixer that I figured I could use with a Tascam 238.I plugged a mic into the mixers channel ones rca input useing a 1/4 inch to rca adapter to hook the mic into it and have found the gain control on the mixer is...

I'm looking for a BBE 262 Sonic Maximizer.They cost 79.00 at musicians friend. I have a Audio Technica Pro 4L that was a display model from a music store. like new with the box. These sell for 70.00 to 85.00 depending on where you buy it so I'ts an even trade

anybody own a audio technica pro 4L? How do you like it?

I record my gigs with either my Tascam 424MKII or the Tascam 234. I use a shure BG4.1 a rode NTi which I don't want to use anymore for fear of it getting damaged, line level ins, a shure 57.and a new never tried realistic pzm.My question is with my budget around 125.00,should I get another...

Can someone please tell me if theres a difference or maybe a specific reason why the 234 has input gain controls on the front panel as well as by the rear section by the 1/4 inch rear mic/line input, I didn't get a manual with mine. Thanks in advance, Rob

I just did a gig last Sat. that at the time I percieved we totally sucked,and I don't doubt to some/alot of people we probably did.We had all sorts of sound system problems,the audience was less than thrilled with our type of music and so on. All the ingrediants for a "bad head" during the...

Here in Jersey I have had luck at "Job Lot" I was able to buy BASF type2 90 min. cassettes for 69 cents apiece,They also carry 10 packs of Zenith cdr's for music only that work in my Philips 765 for 6.99+tax This store deals in "close outs" so I stocked up

Just wondering if anyone has recorded live,direct to one of these.I messed around a little,running a sm57 thru my peavey unity mixer doing a voice test and it sounded good.The idea of stereo live recording with 74 uniterupted min. sounds good to me,but I just scratched the surface.Has anyone...

Here in New Jersey we have these close out stores called "Job lot'good place to look for audio video related stuff. I was able to buy BASF typeII 76 min. or 90min. tapes with the case,still sealed as new for 66 cents each.They sound fine..

I just bought one of these on ebay,I don't know a thing about these other than the fact that it's a condensor mic.I plan to use this with my shure BG 4.1 to capture live performances of the bands I gig with useing my Tascam Porta 1 and tascam 234. It's a omni pattern,The shures a cardioid.I once...

I didn't get a manual with my new/used 234.Anybody know the trick to cleaning the heads? When you open the cassette compartment door,the back plate partially covers the tape/head path.Thanks in advance

As some of you know from reading my posts,I just bought a porta one. I really like this deck for it's portable nature and I'm impressed with it's quality sound. It kinda broke after 2 hours of use. It was finicky right from the start and went down hill from there. tape play/record heads would...

As a vintage tascam anolog junky, I'm also the winning bidder for a low use 234.I added this to my collection for these reasons. When I play live,and if the sound man is not harried,I'll only use my 238 if the sound man has the band miked and I can get individual tracks to the deck.The porta 1...
