I had no computer for a long time but just got a very cheap imac. Been recording on the TSR8 with tascam m216 mixer for about a year and love it. love the desk, love the tape, but i must admit, i miss the mixing and editing in Pro Tools. I had a bit of a break through. I have 8 cables going...

Im thinking of doing away with my m216 Tascam mixer. Its limiting and im getting tired of mixing and editing with it. Ive heard that i can record straight onto tape using things like a lexicon AD/DA converter. I would then like to dump the tracks into PT for editing/mixing. I have no idea about...

Hi All. Ive got a tascam TSR8 and a m216 mixer. Getting a pretty good sound and starting to mixdown. My Question is : which is better to mix too, a DAT machine, or a Zoom H2 recorder onto SD card.

hi all. ive got a tascam tsr8 and a tascam m216 mixer. is there any way to stop spillage from track one going onto 5, track 2 on to 6 etc?

so got the 8 track going well, got a nice DAT recorder, but still need to get the music onto Disc. I have been using pro tools and the computer burner, but i have a feeling that the CD recorders are better, plus i want to keep the computer out of the loop. Is there much of a positive sonic...

Hi All. Just wondering. Is it bad to use my TSR8 on a 45 degree angle? something tells me yes - especially ff and rw. playing might be ok, but...? reason being is i bought this rack thingy on wheels. im trying to neaten everything up in my new studio. on top of the rack there is a swivel rack...

Been into the analog about 4 months now, however a slow process to get up and running. started with getting the deck (TSR8) one of the arm sensors was broken off so got that fixed, then the ATR tape that took a while to get, was shedding like mad, realised not the right tape, thanks to folk on...
