I bought a Macbook (the 13" new-gen kind) early January, knowing well that it didn't have a firewire port– thinking I wouldn't want to use it for recording anyway. Well, that's until I got to mess around with a mutual friend's Apogee Ensemble setup. I was very impressed. The possibility of...

Wait, I mean a 4 piece band. Sorry! This will be my first time recording a band, so I need a little help deciding what to mic, where to mic, and whatever else I should consider for getting this right. This band has a very aggressive sound, and I really want to stay true to that in the...

Hey there, I'm waiting for this mic to come in, so I haven't had time to play around with it yet. Do any of you have insight or wisdom for recording with this mic? I want to get the most out of it. Oh, and I'm recording analog. Thanks!

So I got a 238, and it's in wonderful condition, but the previous owner said it has quality issues on tracks 1 and 8. I'm not that worried since he practically gave the thing to me, and six tracks are fine. I suspect this is because those are the outside tracks and cassette tape is so narrow...

I just picked one of these up yesterday and I've noticed it has a few more features than my 234 has. I'm pretty sure I could figure them out, or list the mystery buttons and knobs and switches here later. I'm just wondering if any of you has ever digitized the thing. I think I'm going to scan...

What do you guys think? I'll go home tonight and record some things without it and compare, but I'd like to have your take on this. My Tascam 234 eats through tape twice as fast, and I don't know how I feel about that. Steven

The communication between my Powerbook and the 122 has always been hit or miss. I couldn't get the thing to work in Cubase, so I started using Garageband, it wouldn't work, then suddenly it wanted to. Things were fine for a while. I would just have to plug it in to my computer, reset the...

Would Sending an Analog Mixdown to a Minidisc Stereo Deck Steal the "Warmness"? Hi there, I love my Tascam 234, and I love analog, but I'm wondering if preserving my "warm" recordings to mini disc would steal from their wonderful analog sound. I have a 122 Stereo deck, but it's adding more...
