Hey, thanks yeah there's no line or mic input, so i guess I need to get a usb interface. Cheers

Hi, not meaning to be annoying but I'm really at my wit's end, have searched extensively online and can't figure out what to do. Talked to a computer store here and they couln't help me. Can someone give me some ideas? Thanks a lot

Hi, there's only one input I can see, with a small headphone jack. I just got this computer, an Acer V5 laptop.

Hi there, just trying to find the simplest way to mix my music down from my 414 to my computer so I can burn cd's, put it online, etc. I have audacity, tried to just plug the lineout from my recorder into the headphone jack (using rca to 1/8" adapter) and nothing happened. Do I need to get a...

I guess you can't post links? Anyways, it's just my name at Bandcamp. Cheers - oh it worked.

Hi guys, just wanted to say thanks for the advice. I figured out that you can't have more than one mic in the xlr inputs if you're using 3 - 2 of them have to be in the 1/4" inputs. But I actually only ended up using 2 mics anyways. I'm pretty happy with the results, and you can check them...

Jjones, yes I'm using one condensor but I've got an adaptor for it. Alan, thanks for the advice. I thought turning up the "trim" control for the preamp would be enough, but I guess maybe I need another one. Hopefully not too much dough... Anyhow, I'm going to mess around with it all again...

Hey, thanks man (assuming you're a Beatles fan from the username). I'll try running it through some different tracks. What did you mean re "use the direct recording to specific tracks", though? Cheers,

Hi everyone, I'm trying to do some recording on my 414mkII cassette recorder, haven't used it in a couple of years. I want to record drums and so have 3 mics set up, but there are only 2 xlr inputs. So I tried plugging one mic in with an xlr to 1/4 cable, but no sound. Any tips, or is it just...

Hi y'all, Got a 414 from advice on the forum, and so far very happy with the results from it. However it has recently developed a problem and I'd really appreciate any advice on this - I'll do my best to explain. The problem is that when I playback my recording in "mixdown" mode, i.e. with...

Ok, thanks for the tip. Will open them up and check it out.

Right on, mine looks exactly like that, except the writing, the "Shure sm57", is on a sticker, not painted on or whatever.

Hi, I bought an sm57 on Ebay, and am wondering if it's fake or real. Seller assured me it was real, but I don't know. I have a real sm58, and there's no sticker on it, while on my 57 there is a sticker for the name - is this normal? Something else I was wondering about is that when you press...

will you ship to Canada?

Hi Randy, Don't have a condensor yet; have an sm57 and 58, and want a better vocal mic, and I think drum overheads, which from reading seems to mean 2 sd condensors. Couldn't find marshall mics on mf. And I don't know what a tube mic is :p; couldn't find it on the faq. Is it a dynamic...

Cheers, thanks for the advice!

Hello, Newbie question - my recorder, a Tascam 414 mkII cassette portastudio, doesn't have phantom power (and I don't intend to buy a new recorder); should I get a phantom power unit, or a preamp that also has phantom power? Each channel does have a preamp built into it, but is there a...

Aha! Great, thanks!:D Adrian

Hi all, Don't know if this q should be in the mics section or this one. I'm looking for an overhead mic for drums, and the common consensus seems to be a sd condenser. But the Tascam 414 mkII doesn't have phantom power - does that mean I can't use those mics? Or is there a way to use them...

Right on, thanks everyone. I'm asking about this bc. I'm planning to get a bass just for recording, don't want to buy an amp unless I need to. I don't plan on playing it loud, maybe at 1 or 2 at the most (my amp is freakin' loud, for me at least, I almost never turn it above 3). My amp does...
