    Why I won't buy the Tascam 2488

    You really should give serious consideration to the Yamaha AW16G. It ain't analog, but nothing digital is. It's got great sounding converters, and is fairly intuitive (after the original shock of trying to read the manual subsides) It's got too many menus for my taste. (But any menus is too many...

    Under Rated Drummers!

    MARK BRZEZICKI - most famous for his work with Big Country - one of the most underrated BANDS of all time. Brilliant musicianship all the way around. Mark is very highly regarded by those who know his work. He has played sessions with the likes of Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Joan Armatrading...

    Tracktion tryout

    I downloaded the free Tracktion. Unfortunately, I'm having a problem registering and cannot unlock the software. It seems to want a NFR number that i don't have. Even though it was suppose to work with just my machine number. I keep getting told " We're sorry, this Tracktion NFR code is invalid...

    MR-8 and CF upgrade cards - User Experiences

    Thanks for the tip, borinqueno! Can anyone confirm that this CF card will be compatible with the MR-8? If so, I'd say now's the time to upgrade.

    Anybody tried the new DP-01 ?

    What a thoughtful post... Thanks Reel Person! I've got 20 years of home recording experience and about 19 years of that was on a Porta 02, so hearing that it's "way better" than that is good news. I'm a very song-driven musician and even after all these years , consider myself a "sound...

    Need Help Getting Started

    nickd123, It's awesome that you are starting out so young! At twelve years old, I would seriously consider a porta studio of some sort. Maybe even a 4 track cassette which you can get for a couple hundred bucks. Or, if you can come up with about $400, check out the DP-01 new from TASCAM. Or...

    Anybody tried the new DP-01 ?

    I'm waiting for the reviews to start pouring in. Looks like a pretty cool digital option for folks like myself who are still in love with their cassette porta studios!

    CD Duplications or Replications ..huh?

    Keep in mind also that just because you employ a manufacturing company does not mean you will automatically get "replication" and not "duplication". Many companies offer less expensive short runs that are "duplication". Quite often any of these super deals that you see for example 200 CD's for...

    Using mixer with MR-8

    Kind of along the same lines I have a small two channel Behringer mixer model 602C. I've used it primarily to record stereo recordings "live in the room" with two mics directly to a free standing JVC CD burner and the results have been excellent. The sound quality is really good on those...

    would somebody like to talk about converters?

    I appreciate your responses, and I guess maybe the question I'm asking is about gear that would be considered entry level by most of you guys here. But what I'm really looking for is advice on how to research what kind/quality converters are installed in gear by manufacturers like Fostex...

    would somebody like to talk about converters?

    Thanks for the responses! I guess my questions is a newbie-level question, because i'm just wondering how one would know what quality converter was in a specific piece of equipment, like a SIAB or a stand alone recorder? Is it just a matter of trial and error, and hoping for the best? I've read...

    would somebody like to talk about converters?

    Hey everybody, I've been doing a lot of research and experimenting with different digital recording equipment. nothing very high end because the budget won't allow, but I've now had at least some experience either with my own equipment or various friends' gear, and I'm starting to wonder how...

    Whats your favorite Album/CD (Drum wise)

    ANY and EVERY Big Country album. Mark Brzezicki is an amazing drummer, and often over looked and under valued. Every drummer owes it to themself to check out his work! And I agree about Hemispheres! Great album and obviously one of the greatest drummers. Vapor Trails would've been great too, if...

    Need some tips on recording drums

    If you are limited in your number of mics and don't have a lot of expensive gear, I highly recommend you keep it as simple as possible. And placing one mic directly behind the drummer's right shoulder pointing down towards the drums is a great place to start.I do this a lot for basic demos. I...

    Using MR-8 to record demo's as a service?

    You guys must be a heck of a lot more "creative" with the MR-8 than I am. And I always considered myself pretty resourceful. Am i missing something? Ricklh, unless I'm way confused, at the very least, you will need to invest in a significantly larger CF card in order to record anything more than...

    manual for new DP-01 ?

    A few people have told me that TASCAM probably won't post the manual until after the product has been on the market for a while. Seems kind of weird doesn't it? I haven't heard back from tech support yet. But when/if I do, I'll let you guys know, in case anybody else is interested. THANKS.

    manual for new DP-01 ?

    Can anyone tell me where I can find the users manual for the new DP-01/DP-01EX. It's not available on the TASCAM site. And so far I have only been able to locate basic specs and press release overview. Looks like a very cool machine, but I need more info. Any ideas for finding detailed specs and...
