Amp miced with an old audio technical ap201, it’s kinda like a 58. Through a cheap 8 channel nady pre, into the 488. Drums recorded with one studio project b3 condenser. Vocals double tracked with the same. I think it’s a dry mix. The run out to a uc222 into reason and left as is. Cheers

is it possible to record and playback through the same faders on the m308? I as under the impression it would as I think it was made to work with machines like the Tascam 38. I also need to be able to listen to the cue while recording.

Been posting here a lot lately, hope that’s okay. I’m looking to finally get a reel to reel 8 track. I’m looking at a Tascam m-308 for $100 locally. And a Fostex r8 for around $300. I’m used to the workflow on my 488, and want to double check that I can connect these together and be able to...

I made a video recently to experiment with bouncing. I was wondering how the quality changed with each generation bouncing internally through my Tascam 488mkii. I think it’s more subtle than I would have expected. The noise floor rises after a few, but you can definitely get away with three or...

I’m in the United States, if that changes anything

Looking at those models, notice they have 1/4 inch instead of rca. Is it the same way on the Tascam, one side in one side out? Just need an adapter.

I would really like a midi tape synchronizer for my Tascam 488mkii. I've noticed the MTS-30's appear online very rarely and they're pretty expensive. Is there another model I can look for that will work for it? Or maybe a way to stripe from my computer with an interface or anything like that...

Thanks for all the info! What’s a fair price for a revox anyway? I’m not sure it’s justifiable to have a mixdown machine with higher fidelity than the 488?

Thanks. I guess my question is: will a home stereo type reel to reel give me better results than a decent home cassette deck?

I am looking to keep it analogue. Also, the 488 only has stereo outputs which makes it hard to do much mixing on a computer

I’m currently using a song t-we475 dual well for my mixdown deck from my 488mkii. I’m looking to find something that might be a little better, to make master tapes for tape duplication and such. I’m looking at something like this AKAI GX 230D Reel To Reel tape machine - electronics - by owner -...

So are you applying all the effects during mix down through the effects sends? or recording to another track the processed signal? I find the stereo returns 9/10 11/12 weird as you don't get the same stereo panning option that you get from the channel you're processing.

Thought this sub forum seemed funny so I might as well try. Recording on a four track here, double tracked vocal. There's probably a lot wrong with this mix and I've wanted to redo it but I lost the master tape.

Here's my little analogue studio. Just a Tascam 488mkii on a keyboard stand. Upper rack has an 8 channel preamp and Sony wm-475 mix down deck. Then an old JVC receiver to run the Realistic Minmus 7's. I'm just starting out and wanted to do analogue on the cheap(ish, that 488mkii will run about...
