It sounds like the Tascam can't do what you want it to do. It only burns 'closed' CDs, so the data is fixed and can't be changed once it's burned. All you can do is load it back onto the machine, add more tracks, mix them down and burn them to another CD. Also, if you can't wipe the CD-RW on the...

Same as above. It's no secret. It's in the manual. Route tracks to the effects unit and tweak to taste.

You can transfer tracks one at a time to multitrack software like n-Track - www.fasoft.com - then mix them down. You just need a cable going from the Line-Outs of the 424 into the Line-In of the soundcard. To record all four tracks simultaneously you'd need a soundcard with four separate inputs...

Have I got this right? You've got a re-writable disk which already has some data on it and you want to add more data? Was the disk 'closed' when you did the last burn? If it was closed you can't add more data. You can only re-use the CD by wiping it or blanking it and starting again from...

I usually programme a drum pattern, add a guitar riff, more guitar, add bass, add vocals. That's my usual routine. BTW how are you planning to do this with FruityLoops? It's not easy to record live with Fruity. As far as I know recording live vocals is impossible. (Unless upgrades have changed...

The breakout boxes you see usually come with a soundcard e.g. M-Audio Delta 44. i.e. they're a package/unit: soundcard and accompanying break out box. I don't know what the specs are re: midi etc. on the Delta. It's about $250 I think. Better featured cards usually cost more. Have a rifle...

you should just need the right cable going from the Line-Outs of the mini-disk to the Line-Ins of your soundcard. Which cable depends on what type of outputs the mini-disk has and what type of input the soundcard has.

Have you blanked the disk first? I'm not familiar with the 788 so I don't know, but it's quite possible the CD writer can't read re-writable disks. I know my portable CD player can't. Just speculating, mind ;)

If you do a Search on Alesis 3630 you should find all the posts panning it. It's said to be a poor compressor which colours the sound. The RNC gets many plaudits. Behringer Composer is often recommended as a good cheap compressor. I've got one and have no complaints. If you just want it for...

You can record four tracks simultaneously on the 424. If I remember rightly you can also record on channels 5 and 6 at the same time, but these channels would record to one of your four tracks. i.e. you'd end up with, for example, a guitar and a vocal both on the same track which would limit...

A MIDI controller just sends data. It can't produce any sound. If you had a MIDI port on your computer and a soft synth on the computer you could use the MIDI controller to play the soft synth. One thing you could do with your MIDI controller is buy a sound module, which is a synth without a...

I run n-Track on a Pentium 150 and 32 MB of RAM and have had few problems. I've never used it with MIDI but have read quite a few users saying it's not too good with MIDI or very basic, at least. The audio side is fine and easy to use.

That looks right. I've never used a standalone pre-amp stage, just a regular hi-fi amp. I'd check with the vendor that this device will do what you want and is the right one for you.

During the install procedure are you asked where you want to install the program? Do you get the option (button) Browse? If so, use it to select the File or Folder in which you want to install FruityLoops, or change C to D and type in the name of a new Folder. The system will say this Folder...

If your current soundcard has a Line-In input you might be alright using that. You just need the right cable and connectors - typically RCAs at the MD4 end and a 1/8th" stereo jack at the soundcard end. This is a combination lots of people use. The sound quality should be okay. What's generally...

I think to connect any USB device to any other device you have to have USB connections on both. A MIDI controller keyboard with no onboard sounds produces no sounds so you can't record anything with it on its own. If you had the controller keyboard plugged into a sound module you could record...

You need an RIAA phono pre-amp stage. They can be bought separately, or are included on some hi-fi amps (not on some newer ones, so you'd need to check). The Soundcraft Folio Notepad also includes an RIAA pre-amp for some reason.

I read about cutting at 3K to help a vocal sit in the mix, and boosting at 7K to compensate for a dull singer (me). I've been doing both for a while now and it seems to work.

Here's a contemporaneous thread which should help. Failing that I'd try the Search facility. Should be lots of help there. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=49464
