I'd like to keep it under $500, if possible. Ideally well under $500.

I have a Tascam 414, and I've been using it for a few years. It's served me well, but recording to casette is getting old (I don't even own a casette player outside my studio), and I'd like to upgrade to a digital machine. I don't have much to spend, though. Any suggestions? I mostly record...

Thanks for the help, Kramer - I appreciate it. I suppose a donation to the human rights fund wouldn't kill me, eh? :) Still, if a kind soul happens to own the manual I would love a copy of it.

I recently picked up a Sony STR-DE635 receiver from a pawn shop, since I was tired of using my regular home stereo for mixing down. The thing is, there's no owner's manual for it and it has a lot of exciting/scary buttons that I know nothing about. Does anyone know where I could find a PDF...

I've been searching EVERYWHERE for someone else who has one of these. I'm looking at getting a Wurlitzer "Funmaker" organ for almost nothing. The catch is - is all the way across the country and I have to be able to figure out how to ship it. Do you know how much your organ weighs? UPS and FedEx...

Well, I don't know how helpful this is going to be... but I'd say check the manual on the cdr. Does it say that you can record from audio tape? If that doesn't give a definative answer then your best bet would be to give it a shot. Connect using the "line out" jacks and try it. It seems that the...

Let's see... I think they have Guitar Centers in Oregon - you could try there. If not, most large music stores (chains) should have what you're looking for. Or there's always Radio Shack (couldn't resist) :)

You know, it may be completely coincidental, but I found that I have the same exact problem. I'm using the TASCAM 414 mkII Portastudio, and during recording and playback, I can only hear the left side out of the headphones. I'm fairly certain that I'm using the machine correctly - I followed the...

I hope I'm not slaughtered for suggesting cross - posting, but you may want to try the Cubase forum, you may have better luck there. :)

I'm a brand new recorder, a 1 1/2 year old guitar player (acoustic only), and a lifetime singer (notice I never said I was an artist - not that pretentious, at least yet). I'm going to make a recording of Prince's acoustic version of "7", and I was thinking of adding a Guitar 2 part (chords...

Sorry to jump in, but should the monitors be pointed inward toward that "sweet spot", or should they point straight ahead?

I have heard it refered to as gear acquisition syndrome. Since obtaining my TASCAM 414 mk II as a birthday present about a month ago, I havn't been able to stop buying extra gear to accomidate it. It started out innocently enough (powerstrip, cables, a metronome) then it escalated (new...

I suddenly feel inclined to song. Sing with me: Red - the blood of angry men Black - the dark of ages past...:D

punks do it... I heard a punk band, can't remember the name right now, but just about all they do are cover songs - old stuff by Barry Manilow, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, etc. They take some of the slow ballads and speed them up to insane speeds, lots of ultra guitar distortion - I'm sure you can...

Hello, there everyone. I just got the TASCAM 424 MKII about a week ago. I figured I had better try to get on your good side now, since I'm sure I'll be bugging everyone soon for help - I've never recorded anything before. Anyway, hello again, and I'm sure that I'll be talking to a lot of you soon.
