Just a fleeting thought... and I know that it would be extremely fragile due to the tape thickness. However, would it work at all if one unspooled it onto an empty reel? Not as a serious recording medium, mind you. Just to see if it would work. Anyone willing to try and get back to me?

Anyone at all?

When I go to export tracks, as soon as the track copies to the FAT the screen says "export tarck check", instead of "export track check." I only just noticed this, but my eye could have smply missed it before and it may have been happening all along. It hasn't affected the functionality in any...

That would be awesome.

Wow. I actually just looked. This IS an old thread. :) Anyway, yes. Let's all mix in mono.

Yes, EVEN Sgt. Pepper. This is probably an old thread, but I'll have a go anyway... All of the Beatles' albums (with the exception of Abbey Road) were tracked with mono in mind, for the primary purpose of ending up with a mono master. These mono master mixing sessions were the only ones that...

I suppose you could mix in stereo if you really wanted to. Even with a two piece a bit of realism can sound quite good. The final mix is going to end up on two channels anyway.

I work in mono not as a necessity, but to make things easier, more or less. When using the four-track and bouncing, I'm not thinking in terms of stereo while tracking. At the final stage I may make somewhat of a 'stereo' mix by panning and adding reverb to whatever four tracks I end up with...

I have two Sony TCM-929 tabletop cassette recorders that I manage to hook up to a little Behringer UB802 mixer to do lofi "sound-on-sound" recordings. That's about as lofi as one can get. I can really only get a couple of passes before it becomes unbearable, but through trial and error with...

I used to run a Teac A3440 along with a Tascam M30 (the latter of which is in my basement storage room) and I loved it. Now I'm using a DP-01FX. I recently bought a little Porta 02 - just for the fun of it. :)

I've noticed a lot of discussion around this board with so-called 'dead' formats. I personally love looking at older 'obselete' formats and finding merit in them. There is much interest in vintage technology, and I find it fascinating.

I had a Sony DAT back in 1994, when I used to mix from my Teac A3440 through my Tascam M30. It did the job really well. Simple and reliable. That is, until the DAT machine went haywire, and started eating my tapes. And I don't have to tell you what havoc that wreaks on a digital tape. Still...

I'm about to pick up a used Tascam Porta 02, and I'm just wondering if it would be a big deal to use Type 1 cassettes in it. I'm really only intending on using the machine for a scratch pad, more or less. I'm kind of leaning toward a lo-fi sound, and although I realize that Type II cassettes...

If I go back to the very beginning, I was first recorded on an early 70s Phillips cassette deck that belonged to my parents, singing songs for mom. When I was ten I recieved a mono am/fm radio with cassette unit that I used like a science kit. When I recieved a GE 'boom-box' about 3 years...

I was looking in the thread about you album being mixed in mono. I too like to mix in mono. I wanted to hear your album, but I can't access it. Is there a new place where I can download it? Cheers! And don't worry about what people say about your music. It's only important that you like it...

Never mind... I got it! :-)

I'm a recent owner of the DP-01FX and have what is perhaps a silly question. I've read the manual and I'm still having a bit of problem with importing a track from my PC. What I have is a backing track (in mono) that I want to have on track 1 of my 8-track, but still can't put my finger on the...

I'm just now getting back into the art of recording with a Tascam DP-01FX after having been out of the loop for many years. So far I'm having a great time. I started out many years ago using a Fostex X18, until I bought a TEAC A3440 open-reel 4 track for a good price. I loved that machine. I...
