Thanks alot Sounds like its a little involved....:eek: Im not a stranger to soldering but it is kind of intimidating doing it on the VU. Im going to be Opening it up pretty soon. I am kind of nervous. So I am going to have to order the bulbs from Tascam I presume. Should be pretty cheap right?

I am the proud new owner of a pretty damn clean Tascam M520! I traded this guy in one of my classes for a telecaster (mexican) and 50 bucks. It came with 2 patch bays and a bunch of half done cabling. I just learned how to solder so I will be able to complete them, its going to a take a bit of...

Thank you so much for the info. That is very cool news. I believe I will be the owner of a M520 come monday. Your M520 story is going to be my bible, soooooo much usefull information. Thanks again

I am trying to sell my Tascam 688 ( im getting a M520:) ) and a prospective buyer wants to know if it syncs to protools. A - I am not sure exactly what his question is, he knows its not a controll surface B- I never used the Midi Sync functions so Im not too sure on the matter. Any help...

I want a update on that frankenstein board when he gets it opened up ( PICTURES!!) and I want some sound clips of a drumset, see how it sounds. Anyway, yea I'm thinking I might go the " Get it and forge ahead" idea. Where is the Tape return section? I see its a split monitor but I only see 8...

Hey guys So here is my Tascam 520 story. After sweetbeats stole my dibs for that mystery mixer I was drooling over earlier last week.. ( just kidding just kidding) I got to asking my buddies if they had any consoles they were looking to sell. One of them has a M520 he said he would sell me...

:( Well if somthing doesn't work out for some reson.. remember the poor student that will come pick it up... :)

This is a great thread. very interesting board. As far as sob stories go for dibs on the board....:) I am a 21 year old poor recording school student in Phoenix who is taking a class called " Studio Maintenance". My class would love to open it up and see whats inside and clean it up and keep...

I was wondering how to properly use the input mixer in cubase sx 3. Say I wanted to EQ a kick drum on the way in to get rid of some muddy frequencys. How do I do this? Thank you

Perfect Muchos Gracias

I know there are a few guys on here that know the 688 scene selection very well. This is what I want to do but i don't know what scene or how to program the right scene for it. Firepod outs into the line ins of the 688 tape out of the 688 into the line ins to the firepod. I have all the...

I have the manual in PDF. Its is on a thread months back on these boards. If anyone wants it leave me your E mail addy and I will send it.

WAHHOOO! Just got back from VEGAS BABY! what a wild place. We went and picked them up, perfect shape, and had the bonus of spending a night in vegas. We checked into a hotel at 9 and got back to the hotel just in time to checkout. Time is almost irrelevant in Vegas. This Unit seems to be very...

Well I talked to the guy, he his holding them for me for friday. Wahhooo. I am just exited to see how it sounds, and what kinda fun stuff I can do with it in conjunction with my digital set up. These peak meters are sexy too. This should be alot of fun.

I just found 2 688's for 500 bucks. One is in brand new in the box the other is in really good condition. It is going to be a 6 hour drive (12 round trip) but I am thinking its going to be worth it.

Sweetbeats, Do you still have any of your Reggae bands work you did on the Mk II?

For some damn reason I have a itch to obtain one of these machines. I have a full digital setup, and I am very happy with the results I get. The only thing is it is kind of a pain in the ass to start up and start tracking. I want something easy and portable and analog. The main thing is...

I have drum tracks at 140 bpm in 4/4 3/4 and 7/8. What I want to do is chop them up and take the cool parts loop them a few times, and try writing a song this way. How would I go about cutting the drums from one session in 3/4 and with drum tracks from another session in 4/4 while maintaing...

Thanks man, they will be here sometime next week, I am crossing my fingers

I just bought 2 from a guy in New York. He says they are authentic Russians and thats the risk I am willing to take for 225 bucks. But it would be nice to know for sure.
