Does anyone know of a laptop I can buy in the UK on which I can easily install XP? I'm asking because I need XP to run my old DAW software and effects, a lot of which are incompatible with anything later. I previously had a Toshiba running Win 7 which I rigged up with a dual boot but this has...

Just another thought - I've read that there has been a fair amount of criticism of the pan function on the DP32 - that it doesn't have a physical knob for each channel, just one knob that you have to activate each time for every channel. Has anyone found this to be problematic or can you live...

Thanks bacherlorb - I'm inspired to get playing it some more. I got hold of an electric 12 recently and have sort of neglected it. I compared this recording to one of the same song my late brother made with the same mic and guitar almost 50 years ago using a Tandberg 3000x but I still can't get...

Thanks for all your help on this. That is a good way of looking at it - that because the DP-32SD tracks can be set to mono you have more mono tracks than the 24. You were lucky to find a cheap 24, there doesn't seem to be much around over here! I'll take a look at the Tascam forum - I tried...

Thanks again - it looks like it will have to be the DP-32SD, which is a shame as I like the idea of having 12 normal mono tracks and the price is considerably more than the DP-24SD here in the UK. So I guess you have haven't tried this out on your DP-24? And even then the SD version is probably...

Thanks again. I'm still confused about if you can change the stereo tracks on the DP-24 to mono - I think I remember from the Tippings videos that only the DP-32 has a switch for this - have you tried it? When you set a stereo track to mono it pans left or right in the same way as normal mono...

I've just looked at some of Mr Tippings' videos - they are outstanding, thanks for the link! It seems you can import mono WAV files into either channel of the stereo strip - this would be a great use of the stereo channels as I hardly ever record in stereo. The idea is to work further on my...

Thanks for all your help on this - it is very much appreciated!

Thanks for your help. I guess I'm still not sure if I will be able to import mono WAV files into the stereo tracks of the DP24. I have a number of recordings made on a DAW that I'd like to transfer to the a DP24 so I need to be sure. Say I have 16 mono tracks on the DAW - I can see that I can...

I'm about to buy a DP24 and wonder if someone can please help me. I have a DP01 and DP08ex and would like to import WAV files I've recorded on the earlier models, as well as WAV files created on a DAW. These are all mono files. The question is, would I be able to import the mono files into the...

Thanks for the kind comments guys - it means a lot. I'm going to continue having fun with this wonderful tape recorder!

Well I've had a few drinks and built up a bit of courage to post the track.... It is just a quick demo all done in 20 minutes but it was such fun... The lead vocal was rather hot and the output clipped the Terratec Phase II digitiser I used to transfer the tracks a few times even on minimum...

Thanks Sweetbeats. I will be home at the weekend with the 244 and will make sure I have those drinks!

Thanks for the interest. Not sure I'm brave enough to post it - it is kind of raw ............ maybe if I have one too many drinks over Christmas!

Just had to post about how much fun I had with my Tascam 244 last week. Having been away for over 6 weeks I took it out, connected up my vintage Shure Unidyne III and got out the old 12-string. Recording in a completely different way to normal, I just set the tape rolling and played an old song...

Hope you can get it sorted next time. Maybe 12V +/- is ok......!

Have just deleted some messages if you want to give it another try PS Have just tried mailing you

I'm pretty sure it's against the forum rules to post a service manual. if you send me a PM I'll see if I can track one down for you from somewhere - so long as this isn't against the rules either - can someone please confirm?

No, just 2 heads Dave.

Maybe worth checking the connections to the head?
