We went to Sun Studios a couple years ago on our way back from New Orleans Jazzfest. I bought a great 8 cd boxset of classic Sun stuff, and a bunch of Sun guitar picks. I taped one pick on each of my tape decks in my studio for a little of the old SUN MOJO!!! And of course the sound improved...

Well- I went and bought this thing yesterday, and after playing around with it a little, I can answer my own question- It seems to be a useful P.O.S.!! Seriously, it has some pretty cool effects, and it was cheap. Steve Z.

Got a chance to buy one used for cheap- 70 bucks. The vocoder presets are what caught my attention- anyone have one of these units? I really like my Digitech Genesis 3 guitar processor, but I've read some negative reviews about the SD200 on Harmony Central. Anyone with experience with this I'd...

Black Oak was one of the bands that came through town here regularly back in the 70's. They put on a wicked show, blew several bands they opened for off the stage!! They are still out kickin around today, with Johnny Bolin on drums. Johnny is Tommy Bolin's younger brother, from Sioux City, Ia. I...

2 O/H and a kick drum mic. The O/H's go to one channel and the kick to another channel, then I bounce those to one channel,adjusting the amount of kick drum, leaving 7 more to record on. (Tascam 388 ) .It's amazing how sometimes the O/H's alone have everything right there!!

"3) Analog generational loss is way over hyped. I’ll take that over what the digital process does anytime. Before digital was the norm, music went through many analog generations – bouncing while tracking in the studio; then to half-track master; then dup master; then loop-bin master, and...

Dr. Zee- I did check that switch out- it changes the wiring on the XLR jacks from balanced to unbalanced. They pretty much thought of everything on this machine!!!

Ummm..... That should be the "guy" I got it from, not "gut"..........

Hello - I've got another question about my "new" 388. There is no output from the Stereo Out RCA jacks. The gut I got it from said they always used the Monitor Out, which does work just fine. I have not tried the XLR Stereo Outs, don't have any mastering decks with XLR Inputs. I suppose I could...

Thanks, Herm!! Placed my order yesterday and it shipped same day.

Hello- I just got my 388 and need some fresh tape. Made a few calls and everyone was back-ordered. Does anyone know of a source that has Quantegy 457 in stock right now? Thanks. Steve Z.

Thanks- that is pretty much what I assumed. Steve Z.

Hey- got my 388 from my friend last night. Gonna start doing some testing later today. Here's my first question- what exactly is the tape lifter mechanism for? I don't have the 388 manual yet, should be getting that in a day or two. Thanks in advance. Steve Z.

I am mostly concerned about noise going out. My neighbor is a cool old guy who would never complain about the noise, but I want to be a good neighbor. I like the idea of the removable plug, will probably build one of those. I live alone in my house so I am not too worried about anyone else...

Hello- anyone have any good ideas on what materials to use to soundproof a deep window-well in my basement studio? It has a good foot or more depth on the inside, so I could fill it up with quite a bit of material. What has anyone found to work well? Also- should I try to insulate the inside and...

Has anyone ever really ruined record heads from a demagnetizing accident? I've never had any problems over the years, but the manual for my 488 makes it sound pretty treacherous. There is a rubber tip on the head of my new demag unit, so it should be pretty safe, right. I'd like to hear if...

Matt Abts!!!!!! Matt Abts from Gov't. Mule. He can cover almost any style and he has a cool way with the splash cymbals. But I'm a little biased, as you can see from my user-name. WHERE'S MY MULE?!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info. Thanks to everyone who replied. I will let you know when I take posession of the 388.The info I have found has been extremely positive (from owners). Sounds like just what I need to move up to the next level.

Hey- It looks like I'm getting a used, well cared-for 388 from a friend of mine. He has moved on to computer recording.(I love new technology,it causes people to hand over the good stuff cheap!) My question is: how does the reel to reel section in a 388 compare to other 1/4" 8-track decks? Is it...

Thank you, Reel. I will procede with caution!!! Shouldn't be too big a deal. Steve Z.
