Just got the DP-01 This is GREAT for the technophobe such as myself! I've put off getting into digital for so long just because I was scared of it mostly! :eek: This unit is actually easier to use than my old cassette four track. I had more trouble figuring out the Behringer V-amp that I...

Oh NOW I see everything! House wasn't cleaned at all was it?

Hey gang! I haven't been here in a long time. So surprised to see all the old posts GONE! Well, what brought me back here is the news regarding the closing of the Quantegy factory, and the supposed demise of all analog recording tape (which supposedly includes all cassette and VHS tape)...

I'm a guitarist/bassist (but mostly guitar) who dabbles with drums. I'm not great on the drums, but I can make do. What I do in my humble home studio (we're talking 4 track cassette), is use an Alesis SR16 drum machine, record the bass, and rhythm guitars. Then I'll go back and replace the...

Is there any talk about them being done away with??? Are they still selling well enough for TASCAM and others to keep making them? I certainly hope so! I actually quite like them for home demos. I'm not a techie, and don't have the time to immerse myself in phone book sized users manual that...

I know it's not everyone's favorite, but I've been doing exactly what you're talking about using a small Behringer Eurorack MX802A mixer, which has 4 XLR inputs, phantom power (if needed - I don't). I've used it for drums, in the way that you mentioned. Due to my laziness, I gave up on...

Thanks to all for the kind words. I keep forgetting that this is a recording board, not a guitar board. If I tell you exactly what I did to make those mp3's you'd roll your eyes and think I'm a nut. Firstly, after mixing down from 4 track cassette to minidisc (using a combination of...

Hey, I thought that it sounded pretty cool, but this is coming from someone who's listening over really crappy speakers. I also record with four track cassette (TASCAM 414) and mix down with a boombox, or headphones, so what do I know? My only advice would be to record the guitar with a miked...

I'm a complete computer idiot, and it's taken me a long time to get to where I can do this, but I finally can get my stuff on the net! Check it out at: http://listeningroom.lycos.com/fan/bands/tragocaster/Band.html One tune is an instrumental take on "Ode To Billy Joe". It was recorded with...

I've had excellent results recording my band live with a four track cassette (TASCAM 414). Shortly after getting it, and not quite knowing what I was doing, I recorded our 4 piece band by taking a feed off of our small PA onto one track. This got the vocals and the guitar onto that track...

Word of warning - DO NOT check the power tubes (6L6) one at a time and replace the bad one. Anytime you have a bad power tube, you should ALWAYS replace all of them. Not so with the preamp tubes (12A_7). They only need to be replaced if there's a problem, and you only need to replace the bad...

Plugging a guitar into a PA is not the best sounding thing in the world to do, but it can be done. A few years ago I played a duo gig with another guitarist and plugged into a stompbox delay, a Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal and staight into the PA from there. This combination didn't sound...

My budget for monitors at the moment is zilch! What would be the absolute cheapest I could get away with? Either way, I still feel obligated to check out my mixes on various sources before deciding on a final mix. A couple times when I thought that I had a good mix, I'd play it over some...

I've been recording on my TASCAM 414 and monitoring with headphones, through a small P.A., and through a boombox. Since I have no proper monitors, I've been doing a mix, and trying it out on these various sources, including the car stereo, and going back and remixing until I get it sounding...

Now what? Now I need someone to teach me how to turn my 4 track cassette masterpieces into multi-platinum sales! :o) Cheers! Trag.

I own a TASCAM 414 and mix down to a Sony minidisc deck like the one that your talking about. I love it! It's far better than mixing to another cassette deck. I also use it for external bouncing. Usually I'll mix three tracks to stereo on the minidisc, send that back to two tracks of my four...

Just wonderin' if there's a major difference in sound quality between the two since the 8 tracks are covering less tape space. I've read various articles, although no one has come right out and said it, it was implied that such was the case. Thanks in advance! Trag.

15 grand?!? The most expensive upright that I've found is around $2000 and I actually preferred the $800 one next to it. Try Elderly's Instruments in Lansing, Michigan. They always have a couple of used upright basses there and very reasonably priced. I LOVE acoustic bass and can play them a...

Last year I played a biker function that turned out to be the largest audience that I ever faced - THOUSANDS of em. That's not a problem with me. Problem was the security was other bikers and we had fights breaking out all over the place. It turned out to be like a mini Altamont. While we...

I absolutely LOVE the old Morley JD-10 pedals, preferring it to the POD or the SansAmp GT2, which I also own. Unlike the POD, the JD-10 sounds great through a guitar amp and sounds WAYYY better for recording than the SansAmps that I've tried. Morley has discontinued them. Look around and you...
