Hope you guys have some good suggestions here. I have some old cassettes of my mom from about 30 years ago and several hundred from my dad (some more recent). My mom had a "verbal" correspondence with a friend and they mailed cassette tapes back and forth instead of letters. My dad was a...

So, I'm finally going to try to get my music on CD and want some input about CD duplication services. Anyone have good/bad experiences with some internet-advertised companies? Also - wondering how much better the CD would look with photos printed instead of just the song titles? Is it worth...

I am currently using a Tascam 488 to record vocal and classical guitar. I am about to get a new computer and want to also look at getting software to record with computer and burn CD's. I have about $1500 total to spend (monitor, printer, etc.). What suggestions on hardware and software can...

My kids are wanting to get a new computer and we're thinking about going with a CD-R drive for back-ups, etc. That got me thinking....What are the possibilities with hooking up my 488 to the computer to burn a CD? Or, should I look at some computer-based recording program? I admit I'm pretty...

I remember reading how to mic an acoustic guitar (in this BBS?), but now that I'm ready to do it, I can't remember or find where I read it. Someone want to help me out? I'll be using a TASCAM 488 and have two SM-57's and an SM-58. Thanks!

So....what's the difference between these two mics? Anyone with experience with them? Thanks!

I'm looking for opinions on whether a TASCAM 488 or 424 would be better for a newbie? I'll tell you that I just bought a 488 on e-bay, but am wondering whether the deal will go through....seller has been VERY slow with communication prior to the end of the sale. Immediately after the end of...

Hey - anyone ever looked at the TASCAM videos they put out for their portastudios? There's a beginner one and another one for advanced stuff. I'm looking at buying a 424 mkIII for my first machine and am curious how helpful the videos would be, especially since I don't know anyone around here...

I'm a newbie trying to "self-educate", so I've been checking out all the web sites for info. So far, I've decided to purchase the following equipment for recording acoustic guitar/vocals/maybe some keyboard: Shure SM-57, ShureSM-58, TASCAM 424 MkIII, AKG K-66 headphones. I plan on asking for a...
