    Should I Buy A Tascam 388 In 2024

    I'm surprised it never occurred to Tascam to produce a standalone 1/4" 8 track given that they already had the head formula ready to go in 1985. I know they introduced the 238 and 238S in '89 and '88 respectively in response to TOA's MR8T, which lead to the 488 and 688 models; but, for some...

    Should I Buy A Tascam 388 In 2024

    I know they don't get much love here, but if you already have a desk maybe consider looking at the Fostex R8 or Model 80. They both record to 1/4" tape but at 15 IPS.

    Do the Access Jacks on The 388 Only Work With Unbalanced Jacks?

    I acquired a Behringer Ultrapatch which has balanced 1/4" sockets on both sides. So I bought a pair of 8 to 8 snakes/looms with balanced 1/4" plugs on each end, assuming that a balanced plug inserted into the unbalanced 1/4" sockets on the 388 would pass signal as per normal. Turns out that's...
