    Using Tascam 388 as front end for Tascam 38

    I've seen previous posts and know it's possible, but how can the mixer on the 388 be used as a mixer for the T-38? If anyone has a clear explanation that would be amazing. Thanks!

    Making a "Better" recording with a Tascam 388

    As I've been debating what format to record my next album on and have been listening to various formats I maybe could acquire, I'm realizing that I'll likely be using my 388. The difference between it and, say, a 1/2" or 1" machine at 15 ips is only marginally better for what I want to do and...

    Teac 25-2 Problem - Low levels on mixdown

    Some of you are familiar with the machine I bought last month. Seemed to work ok. Set it up as a mixdown deck and everything is coming through loud and clear, but when I record and then playback the level is almost inaudible. I'm guessing that I either have something set incorrectly or the...

    Tascam 388 Efx vs Aux

    Can someone give me the lowdown on the difference between the two? For some reason I'm not wrapping my head around it. I understand both are controlled by the master fader and level knobs above this fader, but they can be controlled by the channel knobs as well, correct? I want to run a...

    Tascam 388 outboard effects

    If I want to use an outboard compressor and reverb how to I route it so that the amount of the effect is determined by the eff. knob on each individual channel? I want to use the effect on only particular channels during mixdown.

    Tascam 388 RCA vs XLR for mixdown

    So I'll be mixing down from the 388 to a Teac 25-2. The Teac only has rca, so I'll obviously be using the rca outs on the 388. But this is something I've never known - is there a quality of sound difference between the two cables?

    Mixdown from tape to laptop via Line 6 Toneport UX2 - any experiences?

    Title says it all. I'm going from a 388 to the laptop via the line ins on the UX2. I've tried a few samples and it sounds good. Levels are good and the mixdown seems clear enough. Has anyone used the UX2 for similar purposes and have any results (recorded or otherwise) to compare mine to? Any...

    Teac 25-2 2T (Teac 7300 2T) How much? What's fair?

    For sale locally, he wants $150, will go down to $125. What are these worth? I need a decent 2T mastering deck.

    Tascam 388 - EQ on mixdown or only during recording?

    As the title says, can the eq on the 388 be used only during recording, or can it be manipulated during mixdown as well? If it can be used during mixdown, what combination of buttons and levers and which outs are to be used?

    Toneport UX2 for transferring tape/mixdown?

    Can I use the line ins on the UX2 to mixdown from a reel to reel, in this case the Tascam 388? I can find zero info on this anywhere.

    Recording drums to Tascam 388

    I want to do a one mic recording of drums for a 2 piece using an sm57. Anyone have any advice or knowledge as to how a one mic situation might sound on the 388?
