Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a manual for the Tascam 464? I've tried everywhere with no luck. If not,which model would be closest.

I've read that using soundfonts on a laptop computer can be a hassle.Does anyone have any experience doing this? Thanks, Stevebol

Very interesting article.So do CD's make your fillings fall out?I wouldn't doubt it(if you're over 40-50 years old anyway).

Thanks a lot guys.It's taken me a long time to get it together as far as format,looping,recording techniques,etc.... I don't think too many people would be interested in a Tambura Soundfont but if nothing else I'll have a nice practice tool.For the loops I'm making I'm going to analog tape...

Can anyone tell me how to copywrite samples? I'm working on a sample CD.I'm totally clueless about this stuff so I guess it's time to find out. Thanks, Stevebol

was wondering if anyone is using one.Does this thing have to be switched(rec+play)every time?I'm waiting for cables to arrive so I haven't hooked it up yet. Thanks, Stevebol

Thanks Ghost.It's hard to find info on which units work with certain tape players.I'll keep looking. Stevebol

I just got a Tascam Demagnetizer.When doing this should you actually touch the heads of the tape deck or just come close? I also picked up a DBX 150X Noise Redux for my Akai R-R(71/2" per second,1/4" tape).I might want to try one one of the Dolby units too.Would type A be right for my setup?

There should be many places you can find one.Maybe even this sight.2 and 4 track machines seem to be more plentifull than 8 or 16 tracks.I would just keep searching by brand name, format, etc.... A good 8 or 16 that's in good shape isn't going to be cheap,but you never know.I paid about $320...

I guess 407 is slightly thinner than the 456 so it's probably a better match for my deck.I'll get a reel to check it out.Most of this noise was a result of having mics to far away.I really need to work on mic placement.Sounds MUCH better now. The noise redux in my wave editor works for the...

I thought the part about tape bias was missing from my manual which is a reprint but it's not.I'm still not clear on it though.The Tape Selector button say's-Out for low noise,and In for wide range.Any suggestions?

I don't know what it's biased for.I tried to email the guy I bought it from but there was a problem with his address.Could you tell me more about biasing? Thanks, Stevebol

I'm using Quantegy 456 tape running at 71/2" per sec. on an akai 266 GX R to R.I have 2 Oktava Mc=012 mics going to a Rane DMS 22 stereo pre-amp then to the tape.From there I go to my soundcard at 16 bits,32Khz.Because the Tambura produces so many upper harmonics,recording at 32Khz seems to give...

I'm going into a pre-amp to a tape deck(Akai),then to my computer.There's quite a bit of tape hiss by the time the samples get to the wave editor.The instrument I'm sampling isn't very loud so I have to just about max everything.I've been using the noise reduction in my wave editor but I'm not...

I didn't know where else to ask this but here goes..... Is it possible to take a hardware sequencer,maybe even a very old one,and modify it's memory somehow?What I mean is to take a number of very large digital samples on a soundcard,about 30 megs, and control the beginning and end loop points...

Thanks TX. I'll check it out.

It seems to me when the CD standard goes from 16/44 up to 24/96 we will enter a whole new world of fidelity.I'm only guessing that it will happen.That means recording at 32/192 or somewhere around there. I read somewhere,I think it was a website on broadcast engineering,that a 24/96 digital...

Thanks.I'll give it a try.I'm going to try putting the closer mic a little off-axis too.I didn't think of that before.

I finally got my machine up and running in the last few days.I've had it for a while.One of the pots was scratchy so it took a while to take it apart and get some WD-40 on it,but it runs like a champ now(knock on wood).I don't want to get into doing much maintenance myself but what can I do...

I'm sampling a drone instrument and would like to bring out the low frequencies a bit or, bring down the highs.I want the sound to "sizzle" but not as much as it is.I suppose I should choose between doing it at the pre-amp(Rane) or later in my wave editor.I guess I'm asking how can I "warm up"...
