I don't want to entertain this thread anymore than we have to but I messed with the meters in the decibal light up flip display with a small flat tip screw driver. I was told it isn't reccomended but I did it anyways. I was also told it wouldn't make a difference on the recording BUT being too...

thanks for trying

*Forget about the experiment!* 1 ) I erase the tape by arming all tracks and record nothing. 2) I follow the directions in the manual and when I re-record another take of just one track armed I have the problems. 3) erase head works when all tracks are armed. 4) when just one track is armed...

Possibly, that or it's leaking to other parts in the tape for some reason is what I have been thinking because my experiments.

It's working when I enable all tracks, ive already erased the tape a bunch of times. When I try to do another take of a track the previous recording is fainter but still present like ive been saying. "Bare with me here" -- this is what I tried! -- If you could do more than acknowledge that I...

ANYONE WANT TO HELP ME OUT? I'M OUT OF OPTIONS, MIGHT BUY A WHOLE NOTHER ANALOG SYSTEM

Hello, I am new to analog cassette tape. I got pretty familiar with making my own scenes in assign main and input on the LCD screen and had problems. I had the 688 user manual printed and binded. Now I am following the directions on page 17 to 20. On page 18 of the user manual, "listening to...

I think I got it. Just have to arm the 3 and 4 track and have the 'ext sync' set to 'off' to hear playback on 1 while recording for 4. Still think the rerecords are bleeding a little somehow but I panned the 2 and 5 tracks .

I have pictures on this thread I can't hear playback when recording on different groups. can somone help please? https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/hearing-playback-on-track-1-and-recording-on-track-4.406933/ there's tons of videos showing people recording tracks from the computer to...

Hey, I got the 688. This one on the surface looked cool and cassettes are cheaper than reels so I thought it would be a good fit, but in hindsight it seems like it's too complicated with all the freaking buttons. Kinda wish I got the DP24 BECAUSE i WANTED SOMETHING not wired into my wifi and...

I think I figured it out. It's bleeding over to other tracks. If I arm all 8 tracks and overdub on the track I just recorded on . I don't hear anything. That's pretty much what I need to do, I just tested it out. I tried to mute THE OTHER tracks but that didn't work the other day. Still heard...

not a seasoned musician or anything but it seems more intimate rather than on a computer where I do basically everything else and old school is hip I was kinda going for. So when I make a hit they can say, "he used the good old tascam", lol, and then I get do commercials for reverb.com and...

hello, have the tascam688. I understand the assign main, assign effects and input LCD displays as far as I know, spent all night getting familiar with it. I am using a 110 tape and when recording everything works fine. when I try to re-record another take the previous recording is still present...

Recently purchased a baroque measurement tool for action on guitars. I messed up the plastic saddle so I purchased a set of bone - saddle, nut and pins. Have the strings at the height I wanted (maybe the high E can go down a bit more) I have fret buzz on the low end of the middle 2 strings. The...

hello, I want to experiment with acoustic and organ sounds. i'm looking at some keyboards I want to buy but my budget is limited. I was looking at crumar italian keyboards and they are like 1600 and up. also seen hammonds are like 900 on reverb. I figure if I bought the crumar and made some...

Posted this lastnight but got latenight anxiety and realized I couldn'e delete the post so I edited it away. It's morning I feel better now. I really want an american strat but my father has a 1979 gibson les paul and I want something reasonably priced because I got to buy a ton more stuff to...

Are they easy to repair and are they more durable than tape decks? I want to record retro like all the coolcats do, but it's pricey and giving my circumstances not sure if they are worth it because I sunk enough into this 688. I might get the model 12 eventually once I get my finances back in...

I spoke on the phone with SAL today, we were being polite to each other. He said he is shipping it back and said it would be less than a month. After we got off the phone I sent an email.

he won't tell me and just says he trust his technicians (they are really busy he says), he sent me a picture of the board under the mixer and says theres burn marks, I'm not really sure where he was referring too, all I know is I tested it out with a microphone and it was working and I told him...

Partner with Tascam for repairs,---> TAP Electronics Anyone got any tips on this place>? they seem horrible to do business with I should have known this would be a nightmare, I think Sal the guy answering emails there just answers emails all day long. They have had my vintage tascam unit...
