I bought a VF160 a few months ago and haven't used it much. I couldn't find this in the manual...but...How can I assign the XLR inputs (phantom power) to any other track besides 7/15 or 8/16? :confused:

So, I thought I'd make my 488 a little more interesting.... :D

I have an original Tascam 488 and have a few questions...(Got it a while ago, I've not messed with it too much and am now getting back to it) How would I use more than the first 2 channels to mic a drum kit (4 mics or more)? I really don't plug in anything else (examples: keyboards,drum...

Hey Guys, This thurs. our band is performing outside at an event (in a parking lot) and I'd like to record the show using my 4 track recorder. I don't really have access to many power outlets (I think the promoter is running power using an extension cord and a powerstrip- ha. ) so I am trying...

Hey Guys, I'm in the process of trying to repair an old Tascam 424mkII, but I think the motor is bad. It came from a church.. I guess they were using it as a mixing board....My guess is that they left it turned on 24hrs a day and the motor finally called it quits. While I have it out, does...

Stupid question of the day: I tried to erase an older reel of tape a while back and I remember the eraser shutting off ( I guess it shut off, don't know exactly: the unit I use is a REALISTIC 44-233A handheld eraser/ says on the label: 1 MIN ON 30 MIN OFF - Maybe I used it longer than a min so...

Mine hasn't crapped out yet, but in case it does....Anybody know what kind/brand of hard drives will work in the vf160ex? Better yet, I should ask... Which brand/model has anyone installed and had great results with? Thanks guys, A

I recently got a 244 and have been fooling around on it, but I didn't get a manual. Had a few questions. I can't seem to tell any difference in panning when using the cue section. :confused: Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Also, I've recorded some instrumentation on trk 1 and went to overdub on...

Ok, this sounds like a good idea, but I need you guys to lemme know if it'll work..... We are recording our band's demo now and here's what I plan to do.... 4 tracks of drums (Fostex 380s with Dolby S Cassette )- 2 tracks overhead mics, one track snare, last track kick) all mixed down to 2...

Hey Guys, I'm way behind, I know. Ha. I just got a 244 off of ebay for cheap. I plan on "tearing" it down like Dr. Zee did his 144. I know the belt needs replacing. Maybe the pinch roller(though it appears to be ok-I'll probably let this slide a little longer than the belt) A "Reel" good...

Hey Guys, Today I hooked up one of my R8s' (I've been using the MR6 lately) and it's acting a little funny. Last time I used it, it seemed to work fine( though I do admit I have not used it in a while-probably 8 months or so) . This is exactly what I did in order. Cleaned the heads only and...

Hey Guys, I recently bought a Sansui MR-6 dirt cheap for sketching ideas so my Tascam 238 will last my lifetime:eek: :). It works great and looks hardly used. I was wondering if anyone had a manual for it. It's pretty easy to figure out how it works even without a manual (as I pretty much...

Hey Guys, I just got the 488 mkII the other day, does anyone have either the operators manual or service manual in pdf format? If so, that'd be frickin' awesome if you could PM me with it. Thanks guys! A.A.

Does anyone have any sort of advice or suggestions when transfering LPs (Records) to Cassette? I recently bought a cassette deck for my car and I've been transfering some of my more rare records to tape lately and although the transfers sound moderately good, in my opinion they sound a tiny bit...

Sorry Double post

Hey Guys, I was wondering if someone could let me know what brands are available for this kind of microphone. I'm looking for some cheap condenser mics that can be powered by batteries ( for phantom power). I'd like these mics for the purpose of recording our bands live shows with my 4 track...

Yippie!!!!!!!! Today I received my recently purchased 238 w/remote. Professionally packed and shipped!!! This unit looks to be in amazing condition! No dust bunnies, hair or food in this transport. :D Man, most of you will laugh, but I haven't seen a deck rewind, or ff soo fast in my life! This...

Ok the rock show/costume party was a blast, though I FEEL like a monster this morning. So I ended up recording the show using the Rheem Roberts reel to reel model 1725 & 2 sm57's stereo left and right. Probably not the best unit to use in this case, but I have sooo much gear I don't use or...
