That was my question. Will the aux sends have the stereo feed because this recorder will use the aux sends as an individual channel patch for external processors? I just didn't know if the aux sends will also have the stereo signal present if the channel sends are off. Mastering is done on the...

The 788 is capable of 6 tracks simultaneously but if you plan on recording acoustic drums you'll need to have a submixer unless you intend on using and overhead mic to just capture the drums. The built in processors are fine for doing demo work. I'd say the 788 is the best bang for the buck.

Has anyone that has the 788 been able to output the stereo buss to an external processor then back in for mastering? If so, how did you set it up? I want to be able to use an external EQ and A Sonic Maximizer on the master (the whole mix not separate tracks). Can I use the 788's stereo outputs...

Many people don't have the use of vocal pre amps or even a good condenser mic. For those of us that rely on EQ settings to get the most out of vocals here is the question: How does everyone like to set the EQ's before recording vocals, with pre amps and condenser mics and without but using a...

I forgot to add one thing..... Try recording your bass direct.

If you can record 4 tracks simultaneously and you want to track the drums and bass together Id' suggest definately have the kick drum on 1 track, snare on 1 track and subgroup the overhead and toms on the other tracks for a total of 3 tracks for drums and one for the bass. I'd gate the snare but...

Keep in mind. Recording is an art form so what you create is how you want to interpret the sound. If you like it then it must be good. Gathering input from other people gives you more tools to be even more creative. There are no rules, anything goes as long as it isn't distorted. I have prefer...

Yes, the big digital-vs-analog debate. Untill the industry does away with cassette tapes there will always be the debate of which is better. But until then they are 2 different worlds and it all depends on what soothes your ears. I figure since everything revolves around computers now a days I'd...

Mic'ing drums is alot like cooking a gourmet meal. When you cook a gourmet meal you don't follow a recipe exact, you add things and season to taste. Mic'ing your drums has variable factors to it but it all boils down to WHAT YOU LIKE to hear. To illustrate what everyone talks about of the sound...

Thanks for all the info. I'll try the gels and get back to you all. I agree there still needs to be a resonance to the drum but the overtones, which is a mid frequency tone, needs to be hushed and it sounds as though the gels may do just what I need. By the way, I have a 5 peice Yamaha kit. I...

I have been a live performer for many years and I have never worried much about my snare drum with a little ring to it but since we have begun to venture into the world of recording, the ringing of the snare drum is becoming bothersome. I like the sound I get from my steel 14"x5-1/2" snare but...

I had the Tascam Syncaset 238 and when the transport wears out, which it will, you will not be able to get it fixed at a reasonable cost. You'd be better off investing in a digital portastudio. The 788 is a great choice for the money as compared to any other 8 track machines that are even...

Noisy drives? You might want to have a Tascam service center look at it. I have no noise with my recorder.

I too have the 788. I also have a Mackie CFX-20 for a mixing console. I purchased the Tascam 788 to record our band live and also to make great demos. I have found that I DON"T lose any quality due to so called double stacking of the gains. I use my boards 4 sub group outs to 4 of the 788's...

You should be able to goto Behringer's website and download a PDF manual. I have found the even some of the online music stores have a PDF manual available for downloading for free!
