Dom,I'm considering both of those mics,My main use for it would be as follows, in this priority.1 as a overhead/room, 2 vocals,3guitar. I have a shure 4.1 small condensor and have money in my budget for only one large diaphrahm.Your help is much appreciated, Rob
Daveo,I'm wondering if you really need to use the 58.Your other mics are of a high quality and given their reputations and controled nature of the recording session,you might end up not keeping the 58's results due to the "color" it brings,being a dynamic,See what the 58 brings to the table...
I have a Shure 4.1,considering your requirements and price target you can't go wrong.I've recorded acoustic guitar and I recorded a gig and was very happy
Hey,I tried to hear your songs but don't have a player,I downloaded win amp but it did'nt work.I will be getting a new computer in a few months. any suggestions on what I need to have in the new computer to listen to mp3's?
ok, the secret is out,look out ebay. In truth, they are a nice mic. I used one 8 years ago and I was impressed that this mic that said "realistic or radio shack" sounded so good.
Hell, and volume TOO!! You got my vote!I love all that sh#t too,garage sales,Flea markets ect, I went to my first and last "estate sale" once,I felt like a vulture. But yes, Nobody I know will go with me. Do you have a wife,girlfriend,or somebody who goes with you? It's good clean fun and as you...
Monk,take good care of your 246,It is in my opinion the best portastudio tascam ever made.A classic. You know what a tank it is,as mentioned before,use tascam cleaning products,Rubber cleaner RC-2 and head cleaner HC-2. and clean before you use it and after you use it. YOU CANNOT OVER CLEAN...
Monk,I never used my 246's effect sends,I bought mine so I could play tapes from my old 424.I like the 246 way better and have recorded on it but did'nt use those. my guess is that if you pan 5 and 6 hard either way,the music will be assigned accordingly.5 odd= tracks 1 or 3 6 even = 2 or 4
Sure! it's easy to moan about the gear we don't have,but in most cases,it's preety amazing what we can do with the gear we have. I did a demo,We used the best mic we had for the vocals we had, a shure BG4.1,Probably similar to yours,it worked fine
I'm not sure,But a 4 song demo we did on a 488MK11 played perfectly on my tascam 238. My guess would be it would play fine.Hopefully someone else can add to this
Jimmimac,I own a 246 and I can tell you that is one great 4 track.excellant sound for a cassette. I believe it was the biggest cassette 4 track tascam made.like a cassette console but still portable.thats good to know,but if your not sure another possibility is tascams 244 and porta 1 or 2.they...
Effect submixer system
Effect 2 on/off switch
This switch connects the signal in a channel to the Effect 2 Submix at a point after the channel fader and before PAN and ASSIGN. The signal is then sent to the rotary control labeled EFFECT 2.
EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2
These rotary level controls...
Go to ebay,Type in "Tascam" in the search space,at any given time theres 100 to 200 or so 4 and 8 track recorders that you can bid on.porta studios,234,238 rackrecorders,reel to reels,ect.I buy most of my stuff on ebay
Come to think of it, the tapes that I bought from a NY wholesale co once or twice were supose to be maxell xL2,They came in a clear shell.They were not as good as the ones you can get in a K or wall Mart.You could hear a difference.The type 1 sony cd it I used at that gig was as good. I just...
Rick,My gut tells me I don't think you will harm your unit by using type1 tapes,hopefully someone else can add to your post,but type 2 tapes do produce a better quality sound.I used type 1 in a pinch to record a gig on my 238 tascam and was very happy with the results,I should of used type 2...
