    Tascam recorder advice

    I think the new Model 12, 16 and 24 and newer Model 2400 are great for recording and live work, but they are more limited in their "in the box" mixing / effects capability vs the previous Portastudios like the DP24/32 or the 2488s. It's closer to a mixing board with audio storage and audio...

    Tascam recorder advice

    I can't think of a place where an optical encoder would be used. There shouldn't be any optical components in the audio path, everything is electrically analog or digital. The 2488Neo doesn't even have optical output (SPDIF). The digital output is via RCA jacks, so no optical output there...

    Tascam recorder advice

    I would probably avoid the 2488 Neo, simply on the basis of it using older IDE drives. They are getting old, and more prone to experience a failure. If you are technically inclined, there are ways to convert to an SSD via an IDE/SATA adapter. There are also a couple of companies who...

    TEAC A-3340S what mixer to use?

    Welcome to the world of 50 yr old tech! First step in your debugging would be to unplug the mixer, plug a mic straight into the Teac, record and then listen to the headphone outputs. Check each channel. Check the four line output into an receiver or amp. Do those work? If those...

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    Things might be different in the UK. Last year, I bought some parts off Amazon and it took several days to even pick the order. The really interesting thing was that they were all in an Amazon warehouse that is about 10 miles away as the crow flies. As soon as it was picked and tracking...

    Anybody else bought a guitar for what it looks like?

    The power of suggestion is very strong. A certain guitar company knew this when they encased a standard polypropylene cap in a black body and put some bumblebee stripes on it, then proceeded to sell it for $$$$$! It must sound better, it was only 200x more expensive! I also remember...

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    I remember when buying online usually came with a discount (10 to 15% was common). Now, unless there is a special sale, online prices are straight retail. Now that local shops have closed up, there's not much selection, so the online shops are the only resort. I just redid my recording...

    PMT Chain in UK closes with immediate effect.

    I remember going to a place called Dawsons while I was staying in Chester. Are they still in business. That was 25 years ago. I also visited a store in Liverpool, not far from Mathew Street. I don't remember if that was also Dawsons. The retail music business seems to be a tough area...

    Vocal tuning question

    I dont know if this is how pitch correction would work. If it saves offsets from pitch then it shouldn't work when putting that "profile" on another track unless the variations in pitch were exactly the same. If singer 1 is 20 cents off, and it saves that as +20 cents to get to pitch, and...

    New Members: Introduce Yourself Here!

    I use Reaper. I've been running since V4.6, now on V7. It comes with a good selection of plugins, is stingy with your computer resources and does most everything that the "big boys" do. It's well worth the $60 fee which would get you through V8.xx (which will be several years of updates)...

    New Members: Introduce Yourself Here!

    I don't know that there is any practical way to process sounds out of the DP, through a laptop, and back into the DP. After working with all in one recorders (AW1600, R-24), I finally moved to the DAW and found it incredibly simple to do. It was efficient, and straightforward. My...

    When you look at each audio selection, there are 3 dots. Click on the dots and an option to download the mp3 appears.

    TEAC A-3340S what mixer to use?

    The operators manual for the Model 2a and MB20 are available on HiFi Engine. Free download, you just have to register. It's absolutely worth it to register. They have tons of documents, both operator and service manuals. https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/teac/m-2a.shtml

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    Checking the files, they are 96Kbps mp3, which for music would probably be an issue, but used strictly for voice, I think that will be fine as it goes out to 15KHz, close to FM radio but it has a "phasey" sound. I'm sure they use that spec to save space, as you get about 14x compression...

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    Just a final note. The MP3 files I downloaded load perfectly into Audacity. I haven't had time to really listen on headphones for quality, or if there might be things that could be done to clean them up. It's a bit of a shame that you didn't find us earlier. The better way to do this...

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    Looking further down I see segments that are more like 50 minutes long. However they still download as MP3s. "Section 19" is a 36 MB mp3. Click the See All button and the select the sections marked "audio". https://timhall.substack.com/archive?sort=new

    hello, newbie recording audiobook

    A 3rd party app isn't needed. I found the audio portions, and they download as MP3s. Here are the first two. They appear to be short segments, each is only a few minutes long. Are these chapters?
