nothing's better than a satisfying gear purchase! congrats!! so,..which "version" did you end up with? cheers.

no doubt about that. good point,...but it's a shame really. the new Korg workstations are generating quite a bit of interest and (of course) the Roland, Akai and Yamaha units all seem to sell very well AND recieve good reviews. i think there is STILL a strong market for folks who want 16 and...

just wondering (as i sit and stare at my lovely 246). obviously the cassette based multitrack format is slowly evaporating into the mist. i always thought that the mighty little 788 was a creative combination of traditional Portastudio features melded with some nice digital technology. it seems...

haven't played the new "QS" series, but i did own the ORIGINAL Quadrasynth before "downsizing" to the S4 Plus module. i still use the S4 Plus quite a bit. it is one of the mainstays of my little studio. most of the sounds a quite usuable and there are lots of interesting pads and strange synthy...

this is a tasty thread. i (personally) would love to buy a 16-track Tascam digital workstation if Tascam REALLY put their heart (and past pedigree) into it's design. i think the 788 is a fine little recorder. some features inherent to the older analog portastudios are there,...i just find it a...

SNIFF..........wiping a tear from my eye.... ahhhhhh....the good old days......... :rolleyes:

thanks for the responses, Beck and Reel. i know i shouldn't be driving the meters that hard. i'm just trying to get familar with gain adjustment on the 246 and it happened by accident (several times). i was worrying more about the signal routing and less about input volume, i guess. like i...

recently i lucked into a MINT condition 246. the unit only had 2-3 hours use on it (if that) when i picked it up. it works flawlessly and sounds MUCH better than i ever expected. i am very impressed with the 246. it sounds even better than my 238s recorder. i HAVE noticed, however, that...

246 (my baby) 238s syncaset possibly a 788 (for kicks) in the near future,....they are so friggin' inexpensive now.

that really doesn't suprise me. and what a shame it is. a company that GREW to prominence based on the outstanding quality of it's products that were GEARED toward HOME STUDIO ENTHUSIASTS offers this "apparent" sequel to the outstanding 788: i can just see 788 owners LINING UP to buy one of...

i emailed them as well....a LENGTHY letter. this is not the same company that endeared itself to me a few years ago. they are losing a few "Tascam enthusiasts" to be sure. best of luck to them. they may need it. p.s. i still like my 246, though.:D

allright,...i've been mowing lawns, picked up a "paper-route" and have even sold a few of my priceless autographed Scott Baio posters on eBay and i'm ready to take the plunge on a good orchestral module. it's the best "bang for the buck" i'm after (but NOT at an "extreme" espense of sound...

the newer SRX espansion ROMS seem very appealing...more megs of "sample memory"..etc....but do the newer XV synths TRULY "outclass" the older JV synths?? CASE IN POINT...the Roland SRX "Complete Orchestra" board COMBINES waveforms from the SRJV "Orchestral 1, 2 and Vocal" boards. if i loaded an...

my bad on that one. i believe you are correct in that (although the compression IS split into the THREE bands) the THRESHOLD is a "ganged" adjustment. the LO and HI band controls adjust the output level of those selected bands (high and low). the CROSSOVER points of the low and high bands CAN be...

you can tweak them simulteously OR seperately. only the HIGH and LOW bands have dedicated knobs (which had me a bit perplexed when i first took it out of the box....i was expecting 3 SEPERATE knobs for High, Mid AND Low). BUT,.. by tweaking BOTH the "Input" & "Make-up" gain AND jockeying the HI...

i have one of these. it's a pretty good bang for the buck. go to this address: http://www.sospubs.co.uk/search/query.asp in the search column type: Triple c you'll find a positive review on the unit there. i find it very easy to use. it can be used as a normal compressor (with adjustable...

have you tried contacting TASCAM?? Tascam/Teac ARE one and the same. i've contacting Tascam regarding repairs on products "almost" as old as your 3340 and they've always been very honest and helpful. call 1-323-727-7627. i might be worth your while to pack the 3340 carefully and mail it to them...

excellent, EXCELLENT stuff, skippy! i've studied your "12-point feature list" and see nothing but impressive upgrades for the 1624. it's a "home run" in my book. i emailed Fostex (again) the other day. i sent an email to SUPPORT regarding the "MK2" upgrade and an email to PARTS concerning an...

skippy, thanks for your persistence on this matter. i look foward to hearing your results/feedback on the new firmware. having the extra virtual tracks (as well as the "punch-in fix") would be WELCOME additions to an already powerful machine. p.s. if the firmware upgrade proves to be a...

just curious. didn't know if the latest software upgrade somehow enabled the 1624 to gain the extra v-tracks that the "mysterious" D1624 MK2 supposedly boasted (what was it,..24 virtual?).
