I myself can't be too loud in my studio. Sleeping kids, a wife who hates my taste in music, and the guy living in the basement suite right nest to the studio. I almost never use my amps; instead I just use an amp-modelling unit, the Digitech RP300. It's easy and it's quiet. Actually, I...

Audacity is great for certain things. I sometimes use it to cut out a crappy section of a song after I've mixed the tape down to a wav file. It's also great for making your own custom ringtones. However, a lot of the effects are not very intuitive. I find the EQ very difficult (I like...

I look forward to hearing those. The discs I have are "Hi-MD compatible", made by Sony. They can record standard audio, or up to 305 MB of data. One of the discs had already been opened, so I think that's what the previous owner used to test the unit. But as I've read, it's not uncommon...

I think it's a cool tune, especially the guitar riff (reminds me of side 2 of Led Zeppelin III :D). But the vocal and keyboard parts drown out the guitar too much, in my opinion. Maybe EQ it to give it more balls? Drum track is at a good overall level. You say you're writing as you record...

All the discs are brand new. Maybe too new? The manual says to use the 140MB disc, but mine are different. The guy who sold it to me included them and he insists that he tested the unit, and it worked perfectly. By the way, if anyone needs the manual, I got it for free at...

Man, you lucked out. I got my 564 last month, and I can't even record on one track to begin with. Check the following link. The part where it talks about damage occurring during shipping makes sense to me. Mine came over land from South Carolina to British Columbia. That's one long road...

First 2 albums in standard, then went down to C# starting with Master of Reality. The song "Never Say Die: is in standard I think. "Heaven and Hell" is Eb. ...or at least that's what works for me...

How are people getting custom avatars on here? On my User CP, the only options I get are no avatar at all, or one of the crappy ones available for everyone.

I bought Grado SR-60 headphones which are bottom of the line audiophile. They cost about $70-$100, but they sound nice.

Of the items on the list, the Porta07 is the only one I've used, and the only one I own that still works. My 244 was a much better machine in it's day, and I would really like to get my hands on a 488 or a 424. I once got a friend of mine to fix a loose connection in the Porta07's power...

I have 244 problems of my own as posted here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=3336351&posted=1#post3336351 I've seen the belts for sale on ebay, but as it says in my thread there, I'm debating whether to get it repaired or just buy another. Maybe both... I love my tape machines.

Nice! Well, I might try to get a price quote on repairing the 244. Depending on how much it is, I may go the ebay route again. I'd much rather have a TASCAM 424 or 488. I don't want to stop using cassettes because I love the sound. Actually my intention was to fill up the four tracks of a...

I bought the 564 on ebay, then it came to me damaged. I can't even get it fixed yet since there's a claim open with USPS.

I own an ancient TASCAM 244 Portastudio, with very dirty-sounding pots. A couple years ago, it stopped being able to record on track 1. Last year, the belt slipped off, and when I put it back on, it would play a tape, but not record on ANY track but then the belt slipped again anyway. I'm...

Yeah, that'd be my idea of a good digilog studio.

Me likey. A lot.

Well, I read somewhere that some of the conoles in those days didn't have pan controls, and that's why some tracks were either hard left or hard right.
