Ok, basically I need to split a mono signal, have one going to tape and one going to my soundcard...I'm recording live and using the repro head of my tape machine, then using the digital track as the sync up track since there's a delay coming back off the tape. The signal would be coming out of...

I know these are normally used for outboard effects/etc. but the way I have my stuff hooked up, I'm using them as outputs (1 for each channel)...I just read some articles on impedence and now I'm paranoid. The signal goes like this: Mics plugged into mackie CFX12---> inserts go out to tape...

I was wondering, the guy who gave me my 388 also gave me 4 reels of unused quantegy 456, which sounds great to my ears considering I haven't tried 457 yet. I've read a few places that since the 456 is thicker, it's more of a strain on the machine. Is there any truth to this? And is there an...

Hey guys, just wanted to post some stuff I did recently, I wouldn't have even been able to load the tape properly if it wasn't for the extremely helpful folks on this board :) Mixes are still rough, but intentionally dirty. It's some late 70's inspired punk/powerpop, all girls with a guy...

Ok, got everything tracked and ready to dump down to my delta 1010lt. As of now, I've used the Tape out for each channel into each channel on my sound card. What I can't figure out is how to use the mixer on the 388 to adjust the levels of each track going into the computer. It doesn't matter...

...What's are the "access send" jacks for? Can these be used to output the signal from the tape instead of using the "tape out" jacks? I just don't want to buy another snake if I don't need too :)

Ok, so I got my Tascam 388 (1/4" 8-track) totally working, I'm gonna record some stuff in a few days. Up until this point, I've done everything on cassettes (tascam 238) and never really gave that much thought to track order. Normally, I run stuff into the red (punk recordings), then just...

So I was in NY this weekend, and sleeping on the floor at a friend's house...I woke up, groggy and noticed something big under his couch...something with knobs and meters...so I pulled it out and nearly shit myself when I saw what it was...a 388 (very dusty one) was stowed away...so I asked him...

....Once something has already been mixed? I've got songs mixed, but I don't have the original recordings, and I want to add a little delay in the vocal range without delaying the highs and lows...is this possible?

Ok, I've been trying for five years to get a particular snare drum sound, it was basically the sound of late 70's british punk and some american punk, too...(in particular, certain dickies songs)...the sound is almost completely dead, but it's the sound I want...tonight at band practice I put a...
