Playback seems slightly slower when i use SA60s instead of SA90s...it might even be slightly slower with the SA90s, but I don't think so...would anyone know the reason for this? thanks :)

Just thinking while walking home....in theory this should work? Ie bounce tracks 1+2+3+4 to track 8 with, say track 4 at 8 on the fader, other tracks at 7. then bounce 1+2+3+4 to track 7, set all tracks to 7 on the fader but track 4 to 6 on the fader. pan accordingly. Dos this work or is it more...

Apart from a really good bass! I mean something like this...quite a full tone but it's not too boomy. Pre-amp? Compressor? EQ? is it even achievable with a £200 bass?

Ok so I'm pretty sure of the answer here, and I found out the hard way...when bouncing down on a Tascam 488 8 track cassette. is t possible to bounce tracks 3 and 4 onto track 3? Or does it have to be a different track than the tracks being bounced? I had no tracks left so I tried to bounce down...

Ok so I'm tempted to do another 'how do I get the sound of....' thread but I'm going to try not to. BUT has anyone else tried to get the overdriven sort of acoustic sound? I think Keitch Richards mic'ed up an acoustic then ran it through a cassette recorder, then mic'ed that...or something similar!

This recording was only a quick demo but I'm having the same problem with all my tracks...basically there's a LOT of hiss and the quality just diminishes overall when I transfer it to a computer via USB. I'm recording on a Tascam 488 cassette and using adapters to go through an EMU 0204 (which I...

How does he get that?? (Also what mic is that? Not that he's necessarily using it to record with, but out of interest!) Cheers :)

Taken from the Sand Band's home studio, 'the Ether'. Amazing sound on their record, would love to know what they used...I know it was selfproduced and recorded on a Tascam 488 mk II.

Hi, basically I'm entering a competition of sorts and I need some reasonable quality recordings as part of a portfolio...At the moment I've got a Tascam 488 mkII but I don't have a compressor or any sort of external preamp. I'll be recording drums, bass, guitar, vocals...maybe even some stringed...

If you want I'll sell you a life story About a man who's.. I can sing the part in bold with falsetto but I can rarely get the note without it...I don't think he's singing it falsetto but if I keep practising will I be able to sing it without falsetto as good as he does? Cheers

For acoustic guitar: decent affordable beginners-ish mic yes or no? :D

I'm after a tube pre-amp at a cheap(ish) price...but not too cheap that it's poor quality! I saw the Art Tube mentioned but I've read that it isn't all that great...can someone give me something else to look at? Around £100 would be ideal, give or take a bit! Cheers

I got an EMU 0204 but I think it only transfers mono tracks...could someone recommend me something that does stereo tracks? thanks :)

Hi, I've just got an EMU 0204 so I can mix my Tascam 488 mkII tracks to my computer...I was hoping to use audacity but I've had a few problems...namely trying to get the track to the EMU - for example I'm running a red/white RCA stereo cable from the Tascam's line out into the "L - Mic" input of...

You know the old delta blues/chicago blues tracks where the vocal is kind of...lo fi? How would you get this sort of effect? :S thanks :D

Someone said to me the bass needs boosting in the 500hz range...in reference to my 4 EQ knobs (hihh, mid, mid, low), what does this mean?! Thanks :D

Ok, so I have a Tascam 488 mk II but I need something to mix it down to...I've been doing it straight into my laptop which has produced some crap results (for example a squeaky sound on the bass) so I'm looking for a CD recorder (I think!) so I can mix to that, then rip the contents to the...

It's A Long, Long Way To Tennessee [rough mix] by justwilliamandtheoutlaws on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free This is my first track with my new equipment...I was wondering if anyone could suggest any tips on how to improve! The area I'm not 100% with is the...

I recently discovered this band from Liverpool, UK and found that their album was recorded on a Tascam 448 mk II and it sounds amazing! Highly recommended for How did they get such a good sound from the 488? I mean there's not even any tape hiss...it's so clear. Expensive stuff??

I will be grateful to anyone who can tell me what else I need to start some basic demo recording! I have... 1 x Tascam 488 Mk II 1 x SM57 (guitar amp, snare) 1 x AKG 1000S (drum overhead, vocals) 1 x AKG D112 (soon to be acquired - for bass drum) 1 x Sennheiser HD280 Should that do it?
