    Just picked up a Tascam 488 MKII

    Thanks so much for the info and the manual link (downloading it as i type this). I'm still trying to understand though, where are the "outs" for the 3-4 strip? I can only hear that through headphones, but when I mixdown only the 1/L-2/R assigned track actually leave the 488 to the mixdown...

    Just picked up a Tascam 488 MKII

    ok... Thanks here are some questions- 1.what is the use/purpose of the "2TR In"? 2. How come the tracks that I assign to "3-4" do not appear in a mixdown? I was mixing down some guitar stuff onto my Tascam 22-2 and while the machine was playing you could hear everything, in the...

    Just picked up a Tascam 488 MKII

    I saw this listing locally and couldn't pass it up :) I'm actually pretty impressed with the quality, sound and controls so far, really much better than the 424 MKIII that I have lying around. Was wondering if anyone has any experience in recording/mixing with this? I know the basic controls...

    re-record or demagnetize?

    Han-D-Mag will do the trick on 1/4" tape. Ive erased a couple that way. Takes a little bit of work, but does work! Though its best to get a bulk eraser if you plan on doing this more than a couple of times.

    Need help opening my Tascam 22-2...

    Now all I need is the bottom "feet" for this thing to be perfect! Does Tascam still offer them for the 22-2? Happy, repaird 22-2: https://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g137/fredflinstone23/Picture.jpg

    Need help opening my Tascam 22-2...

    I want to take a look inside, I think there is a problem with the capstan belt... I've unscrewed everything and am ready to take off the front plate, however, this guy is preventing it from opening... https://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g137/fredflinstone23/22-2.jpg Seems to be a locking...

    Analog Only Compress

    Yeah, I pretty much do the same. RNC for individual tracks, then I use the "super nice" mode on stereo mixes, on subtle settings. Tim, how do those Alesis Micro Limiters compare to the RNC, on a stereo mix? Are you using them together?

    NEW OTARI 2, 4 and 8 track recorders!! OTARI steps up production of multitracks!

    ah, if i only had an extra $10,769.61... hmm, actually i'd still probably spend that kind of money on other things. ;)

    Reverb unit...

    Ended up with the Midiverb IV, manual and adapter came with it too, talked him down a bit on the price as well. I'll have a chance to get more familiar with this thing later today! :)

    Reverb unit...

    Cool, thanks for the info! I'm probably going to get flamed for saying this here, but so far only reverb effect that I have used and actually liked has been a computer plug-in. "SIR" This thing: http://www.knufinke.de/sir/left_en.html (now excuse me while i duck for cover!!) ;) But anyway...

    Reverb unit...

    I tried the Boss pedal, it was an RV-5...didn't quite give me the sound that I wanted. I'm checking out an "Alesis Midiverb III" as well as a "midiverb II" locally tomorrow, and I may bring one home. Any opinions on these units? The guy wants $150 each, but I think I can talk him down a little...

    Reverb unit...

    Thats funny that you mentioned the Holy Grail stompbox...because I was wondering about guitar pedals as an option, in general. One of my friends has a Boss reverb pedal in his set up, and I was already thinking maybe I'd try that out to see how it sounds through my mixer's AUX. Is this...

    Reverb unit...

    Thanks guys, I'll definitely keep the LXP-1 in mind. What are some other good reverb units to consider? Just in case I don't find a decent cond., LXP-1 in my price range, $150ish is probably the most I want to spend on a used unit.

    Reverb unit...

    Thanks did a google on the LXP1. I noticed theres also a LXP5, etc. are those good too? They are from a while back, how reliable are these? I will probably have to buy one, from ebay without even hearing what they sound like :\

    Reverb unit...

    I'm wondering what reverb unit to use through the AUX of my mixer. Looking to upgrade my Nanoverb, which doesn't have very many good sounds IMO. I've been messing with the Nanoverb for a while and really can't find very many useful settings. I need something simple to use, something that sounds...

    Need some help, getting a new Computer...

    I've thought about that, but I'm not really sure all the parts that I would need, or if I would be able to put it all together myself. Is it fairly easy? I'm not too much of an expert on computers.
