I had my mind set on the Tascam US-122, but after reading alot of negative feedback regarding XP compatibility issues and clicks/pops in playback I am thinking if there are any other options in the same pricerange. What I need is a pair of analog ins for transfer from my reel2reel and 1, maybe 2...

I'm looking at the Tascam US-122 , looks like an interesting machine. What I want to be able to do is transfer the audio (track by track, or just the stereo mix) from my Tascam 388 (8-track 1/4" r2r) into my computer. This can be done when using the line level inputs on the Tascam, or am I...

I have a session next week and the band wants to record their guitars+bass with a D.I. They've got this idea from the latest [i}Black Rebel Motorcycle Club[/i] record. This was apparently all done Direct. Anyway, I was wondering what are the best methods for getting a good sound out of a D.I...

I have a laptop (Pentium III 535Mhz 256 RAM) which I would like to use to transfer recordings made on my Tascam 388 reel-to-reel onto it. Now, I'm not sure what is out there as far as USB (1.0) devices, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm looking for something fairly simple yet with good quality...

What I want to do is the following; Transfer the tracks from my 388 (either the stereo signal or all 8 tracks seperate) to my laptop and mix/master with something like Cubase. What are the things I need to know and need to get? I know that I need to have some kind of USB device connected to the...

On the Tascam 388, which head is the playback and which is the record head? On mine, the second head, the non-solid metal one, has what appears as alot of oxide buildup (or are they supposed to be of this color?) which I can't seem to get off with alcohol. Am I fucked? As you can see I'm a...

I'm looking for a cheap (<100$) dynamic to mic my guitar cab. Sound I'm after is a clear, punchy, Albini-esque sound. Any suggestions besides the SM57? I am looking at an Electro Voice CO4 right now, which seems interesting.

I tried a search but there are alot of different opinions about this so it seems. What would be the best way to clean the rubber parts in the tape path? I already figured Isopropyl is used for the heads and other metal parts, but I'm not too sure on the rubber. Would it be ok to just use some...

I've just got myself a Tascam 388 reel-to-reel, but now I need some a pair of monitors. Since my budget is quite low I was wondering if there's monitors out there (maybe older models) that are reasonably good and can be had on ebay for low prices. Active would be a plus. My budget is around...

So I've had my 388 for a few days now. Haven't recorded, I still need to get a mic. Anyway, I got a whole bunch of tapes with it, I loaded one up and I noticed that the tape came in contact with both heads while playing back. This is not good, right? Also, near the end of rewinding, with say 10...

Good day everyone . This is my first post. Getting into the arts of recording I find myself more interested in the analog world rather than digital/computerbased. Clicking a mouse just doesn't do it for me. Anyway, I've no equipment at all, and I was thinking of buying a Tascam 388, which I can...
