https://homerecording.com/tas488tips.html there you'll find ways to get all 8 tracks seperate from each other...

line it should be coulered blue while mic in is red...take blue if you can! mic in is always mono with normal soundcards.you could also mix down to an external deck (cassette,DAT,minidisc) or a cd-standalone recorder. btw: laptop soundcards aren't that gr8t and may couse latency=chorus-sound

well, this is what the topic-starter wants to know: how to do so or who is able to do/explain it

the file can only be seen by a member of this site...upload to megaupload.com,rapidshare.com,rapidupload.com,zshare etc....

I know that this sentence is printed on Cpt. beefhearts Trout Mask Replica and one could think that the whole record is full of distortion and hiss.....i mean, it wouldn't misfit on the 1st velvet underground record ^^

he used a 1959 series 3, Ferrograph, (valve) mono tape-recorder for mayfair and river man off made to love magic which have the same sound as the fruit tree ones...keep in mind that the fruit tree stuff was remastered and noise-reduced as most of the songs were available and had more hiss!

patience... do you have a manual? tried to playback another cassette on the portastudio? did you switch on and off the right knobs? manual: tascam.com read it carefully, when you hear something while recording there's no way that there's nothing while playback except you didn't record @ all

have a tascam 464, friends have 424 II and III...I started this stuff ^^

i've experienced this but only with a used type II tape,so order a different brand (fuji,tdk,sony) via internet,I've never had problems with those

i record down to computer (from cassette-porta) or sometimes to normal audio cassette (from my digital yamah md8) to get some warmth :o

most "recent" john frusciante and elliott smith recorded commercial available albums on CASSETTE 4 tracks in the 90s... it has much to do with what kind of sound you wanna have and what kind of music you wanna make, like, acoustic stuff,punk and simple rock can be very good with just 4 tracks...

welcome micing sounds mostly better, but it depends on what you want to record...

yeah you're right...i actually referred to analog/cassette

thx for the effort!

I just wondered, cuz tascam and other brands made so many portas, and while it's clear that some are better than others there are many models where i wondered why tascam made them.like 464 and 424 II are nearly the same and the 424 III isn't so much different.that's why I thought that there...

listen to some of frusciantes 2004-records (the will to death, inside of emptiness...) they've got drums recorded with two or three mics and mono.

you mean:your dbx,double-speeded-244-recorded tapes-->playing on another porta-model? as long as "the other" machine is in good shape, go for it. 464,all 424s,246 should do the job. i recorded things on a 424 II and remixed some things later when had gotten hand on a 464.

disagree brian eno recorded synths,keys through amps which makes them sound warmer...everything affects the sound of your recording...mic,air,sweat,amp.when going out of a line out,maybe without DI, it will sound good, but one can improve and get more brightness with an amp ;)

Which Portastudio has the best specs??? I'd guess something like 424 mkIII, 464, 264???

http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926&page=gb/millenium_pps2.htm this is what you need plus a few cables. I used that with the same porta. or get something like this: http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926&page=gb/the_tbone_mb75.htm doesn't need phantom power but is...
