You'll want a copy of the user's manual, as the whole "scene" thing is a bit confusing: Lonesome Cosmonaut » The last great cassette multitrack, the Tascam 688 I'm about to dig mine back up for some recording. It's a great little unit. Where'd you pick up the TDK's?

I have a Firepod and an RNC that I use during tracking. I use the RNC mainly while tracking vocals and drums. Using it on one line is enough for vocals, but I'd like to use it on multiple lines while tracking drums. Right now I only use it on my overheads, but I'd love to add it to the snare and...

I've been playing guitar for years and I never used to be able sing decently (nor did I really care, cause that's the punk rock way). Now I care, and for the past couple of years I've been focusing more on my singing (especially the past few months). I can usually tell when I wander off key...

Is there a way to stop the tempo from playing at a certain point while recording? When I'm recording my acoustic guitar tracks, you can faintly hear the ticking coming out of the headphones as the guitar fades out. What I've been doing it setting the tempo to 8 right before I hit the last note...

Wow man, that was really good. I listened to it on a lousy pair of computer speakers and with my Sony earbuds, so I can't give the most accurate response regarding quality. However, for the gear that you have, this is a great recording. I was especially surprised by the big drum sound you got...

So basically, the software I record into would have to have the different instrument sounds for the keyboards? And, chances are, depending on the software, I might actually get a better sound out of it than the actual keyboard?

I'm clueless when it comes to MIDI. I'm planning on getting a Firepod to record to, and up until now, I've been recording my keyboard (Yamaha PSR-280, nothing fancy) via headphone out (1/4") to line input. The keyboard has a MIDI in/out and so does the Firepod. What do I gain/lose by going to...

I've been recording to my Tascam 688 8-track cassette Portastudio for a while now. I always loved how everything is just packaged together right there in that unit. I've made some good sounding recordings with her. I've been loyal to the old school analog sound, and have been hesitant to go...

It seems like the general consensus is that the Oktava MK-012's are excellent mics, but the SM81 is the top dog. Now I need to convince myself to spend $350 on a mic to get a great sound. Hello, tax return. Thanks for the input guys.

I'm not too happy with the results I'm getting out of my Rode NT1 or SM57 for my acoustic guitar (Takamine ESF-48C). It appears that the above mentioned mics have an awesome track record. I was wonder if anyone had any hands on experience with both and could make a recommendation. I'd also like...

Just like to throw in my praise for the 688. I bought one on eBay a few years ago and it came with a flight case. I absolutely love it...It sounds amazing, I've made some excellent sounding recordings on it. Viva la analog! Just like to add a question...which monitors do you use, muttley?

I've had the RNC for about 2 years and have not properly used it. Granted, there was a period of time in which I was moving around from place to place and had to put my home recording off to the side, but now that I am settled I have picked it up again. The problem with the RNC is that I have no...

Long time no post...I'm going to be selling my 8 track cassette portastudio and 'slimming down' to a computer setup for music and sound effects recording. I'm looking at getting a Mackie 1202 or 1402 for the mixer, but I'm not sure what to get for a soundcard. Does anyone have any...

FMR Audio RNC (US 120v) for sale. Mint in box with manual and adapter. I barely used it; maybe twice. Received it for Christmas 2000 and it's been pretty much sitting around in the box since then. I treat my equipment better than anything else, so rest assured it has never been dropped or...

Where's the best place to buy cheap cables? I need a TRS cable (1/4" stereo - 2 1/4" mono) and I'd like to save some money...where's the cheapest place to get cables?

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement input jack for my Marshall VS100 combo amp? It's been causing problems for a while and I would finally like to replace it. I found a website with them a while back but I do not remember it at all now. Oh, and are the input jacks stereo...

Any tips on what I should look for in a MD recorder? I figured that would be my best route...now there's so many different ones I don't know what to get!

I'm looking for a cheap, simple, yet good quality recorder that I can take around with me to record things. No, not bootlegging shows or anything...I'm looking to record different sound samples and stuff, as well as riffs and rough demos of songs I come up with without having to deal with my 8...

Anyone know any good places to buy bulk CD labels and sleeves (either plastic sleeves, or those paper sleeves with the plastic windows) for cheap? While we're on that subject, how about bulk shipping/return address labels?
