ok thx, i'm thinking of buying one.it looks so amazing and vintage! i already have a 464 and a 688 but i would sell my 464 or lend it to someone.

thx,didn't know there are stacked knobs with portas.

so i'm gonna post it here,again: as I can't see much on the pics i found I wanted to know how the eq works as it is different from the 688,464,424 models.I read that there is a hi and low knob and those are somehow sweepable but how without gain-knobs?I couldn't see any on the pics...on the...

didn't read all the posts but i think one of the most important things is the recorded gear,a tube amp will make it sound less sterile and more warm,also the effects (outboard or guitar-wise) are very,very important.a cheap digital reverb unit can take all the warmth/analog-sound of an...

i've had one and it was my favorite machine, now i own a 688 because i can record 8 tracks at the same time,but i prefer the recording with the 488II cuz it's as easy as it can get,also the 688 doesn't have phantom power i wonder why???with patience and ear you can get very good results,i posted...

I had the 488 and now own a 688 and I never had a problem with anything not being quiet enough on cassette when using the dbx and cheap condencer mics.I hope my 688 will get very,very,very old

depends on what you wanna do... 1.stereo mix from the porta to 'puter? 2.getting all 4 tracks out of the porta to the computer? for the first thing:get a chinch-headphone-jack-cable and connect from the main out chinch of the porta to the blue line in of your computer and record it with...

here are my 1st 2 takes on my tascam 688 8-track cassette recording unit,these are rough mixes but tell me what you think and keep in mind:it's all analog and on cassette ;) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6AXXI1AI very slow and relaxing http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GX24J6AR organ-driven with...

as usual,recorded with cheap dynamic mics and a studio projects b1 and (rough)mixed on the tascam 688. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GX24J6AR

why did you create a new scene?what you do is actually scene 10 or 11,try it, should work

yeah that's right,i thought that for this song, i don't need stereo drums,also my small condenser stopped working right before i wanted to track the drums so i had to use a cheap dynamic which was lying in the rehearsal space.i think the drum sound came out ok, but for the other tracks i'm gonna...

thx guys,wouldn't have expected such positive comments. signal chain... studio projects b1 in front of fender vibro champ with some fender strat studio projects b1 in front of some cheap bass amp with some cheap bass some keyboard straight into the 688 line in studio projects 1 as a bass...

the room is important,the position to the mic is important,the mic is important(a condenser would be better for recording vox)and the effects used are important,so...post a sample

wanted to show you my first take on the 688. i know that the main-guitar has to be retracked and that the drums are not great, but i'm proud that all the tracks are by me and handmade ^^ it's a rough mix,i will remix after retracking,i also want to experiment with echo and reverb on my...

it doesn't play? does this mean that the tape doesn't move or that you can't hear anything while playing back the tape? are you in mode 12 (for mixdown,listening)? you might want to compare whether your 688 has the same modes as described in the manual cuz the old owner might have changed...

1.no,all you need is something like this: http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926&page=gb/millenium_pps2.htm -->external phantom power and cables: http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926&page=gb/cordial_ccm_5_fp.htm 2x...

so...did you use dbx on your 234? which tape speed did you use? --> hi speed (9,5) or normal (4,75)? let's say u used normal and no dbx: every 4 track will be able to play it. if u used hispeed and dbx look out for tascam 464,424(I,II,III),244,246 and more,also there are other...

well i got mine for like 130 € in germany in very good condition..i sold it for nearly the same price.i miss it :( think of getting a 688

i'd have never expected me to do so :eek: long live tascam porta
