4-track Tascam 424 mkIII ...nice. That's what I'm thinking about upgrading to. I have an old Tascam Porta Mini Studio 05. The line out, panning and tape forward feature is not working. I mix down to PC using Nero Wave Editor. Using noise reduction feature I was able to reduce the hiss...

thanks. I'm mixing down from my headphones. The headphones were giving most of the hiss so I've been told. Unfortunately my line out on the Tascam is not working so i can't use it.

It's just a drummer and me right now. I have a song-writing partner who writes the lyrics and I write the music but he can't play an instrument. In fact I had to teach my drummer how to play the drums. I like the live sound that's one of the reasons we like to record one shot. Also since we...

Thanks for the info. I've decided now to the only way I will be able to get a good quality demo would be to record 1 track at a time. The other night we recorded with nr on but got way to much clipping stuff going on. I think the input levels were too high. When I cut nr of there was no...

I have just one mic hanging from the ceiling and it's about 1ft from the snare in the center of the kit. I know I need to get some drum mics and do it right. I would run mics through a mixer then into my 4track but I will have to save up for that.

Thanks for the info.

I'm selecting tracks 1&2 and recording in real time. My 4 track doesn't record 4 tracks at once but by selecting bus 1&2 I am able to record all tracks at once. I think it's called bleeding.

great thanks for the info. I just have 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 vocal and drums so I guess I should just leave everything centered and maybe when I master the track just add some chorus to give it some seperation? Also maybe some reverb to give the track some depth?

lead vocal, guitar, drums and bass guitar. I have a 4 track and have read somewhere that it is important to pan certain instruments to left and right to get better seperation and thus better sound recording quality. Anyone know how I should set the panning up? We want to record live one shot...

I'm getting a hiss when the power is on. Even when nothing is plugged in and the tape is not running. Anyone know why there would be a hiss coming from my Tascam Porta Mini Studio 5?

oh ok thanks i'll try that.

I'll try TDK SA 30min tapes. Thanks. I did manage to record 2 tracks at the same time but when I mixed down I couldn't control the volumes. Both tracks had the same 2 instruments recorded on both of them.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. By the way what type of cassette tape do you use? I heard metal types damage the heads.

Thanks for the help. My guitar multi effects pedal has a metronome. I have an idea. Here's the set up. My 4-track is very old (Tascam MiniStudio Porta 05) and I'm only able to record 1 track at a time: Track 1: Vocals (mic) Track 2: Drums (overhead mic) Track 3: Guitar 1 Track 4: Guitar...

What's the best way to record 4-track? I have a Tascam 4-track recorder and I'm having problems lining up the tracks together. Should I lay down the drum track first or the guitar track?

Guitar work...perfect. Vocals need a good amount of reverb to bring out a more depth. I like your singing style. Drums are too distant. Need to turn them up. Overall I liked the song. It was well produced and written. Is it an original? - Gavin

Thanks for the info guys. I think I will purchase a stand alone tape deck and mix down to that first. Then when I get my laptop I can somehow burn a CD from the tape. Gavin

Hi Everyone, Is it possible to mix down to CD from a 4-track tape? I have a Tascam 4 track and would like to mix down to CD, rip from CD, make an MP3 and upload it to the Net. Can I just use a portable CD player/recorder to mix down to? Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Many thanks...

Hi Guys Thanks for the info, Last night I recorded my first song on my 4 track. Came out pretty good. Only one problem...track 2 (mic) was muffelled. I guess maybe I need to clean the heads? I will try this and also by a new tape. I was using an old tape.
