Here is the schematic diagram, you can view it in a bigger version if you open it in a new window can someone see if the headphone amp takes i´ts signal from the record head? I marked the inner mic´s with a red square and the headphone out with a blue square, i cannot find the heads though??

I´m sorry, I´ve read the manual with block diagram online, but now I can´t seem to find it! But here is two pictures of the model from the auction. they´re not the best,

Hi I´ve got a boombox with two internal stereo-microphones. These are condenser-type of microphones and I really dig the sound I get from them. I have been thinking about the possibilities to do some mod´s that will let me use the mics but without recording it to tape, but instead send the...

Hi everyone. I´v been trying very hard to find a free, or at least cheap, room simulator plugin, that I can use as a insert on the master bus, connecting all my tracks to a virtual space, where I can move around the tracks (as sound sources) anyway I want, much like the stage positioning feature...

Hi, I wonder if I should expect some quality loss when sending a recorded signal out from the soundcard and into an analog equalizer and compressor and back into the computer. The soundcard is working at 16/44.1, is there any tips on how to preserve the quality of the signal as it goes in and...

ok...I´ll know I have to rearrange my recording space in a very near future, but til´ then, is it a bad idea to have the computer really close to a 8U hardware rackmount??, with the hardware effects being in use while recording, and editing in cubase?? For the moment I have a bad situation in my...

Hi, I´m building a studio based on a Tascam 388 1/4 reel to reel and PC with INCA 88 8 in/out soundcard with Cubase. As I´m kind of used to the 3 band fully sweepable parametric equalizers on the Tascam 388, I´m looking for their "digital twin!!" in the vst plugin world, for the reason that I´m...

Hi there. I´m kind of new to Cubase, been working mostly in making waves since 1998. It seems to me that cubase makes everything sound a little brigther than making waves. I think I´ve read somewhere that Cubase adds it´s own touch to the sound, is this true? Is there a difference in sound...

I´m waiting for my "new in box" INCA 88 pci card to arrive, this is a little bit older card (2002) featuring 8 inputs and 8 outputs with 1/4 phone connections. I´m picturing TWO situations where the multiple input of the soundcard would be usable. First situation: I´m tracking on a Tascam 388...

I have three questions about bitrates. I use a maya 44 soundcard that has a 20 bit D/A converter and a 18 bit A/D converter. As far as I know there´s only 16 and 24(+) bit to work with, what should I choose when I have a 18 bit soundcard. When I track I always track to 1/4 tape and then...

Hi everybody, thinking about buying a mixdown deck and got in touch with a guy selling his revox a77 mkIII Dolby. He lives quite near but I havent seen it in person yet. He posted me a picture of the heads anyway and I´d like to show it for you to get your opinions on the condition of the heads...

Hi, my TASCAM works fine, sounds beatiful, a good investment all in all, but there are a few problems, one that I can´t figure out has to do with channel 5. The channel records and plays, but it will only playback in REMIX mode only as the monitor volumeknob do not seem to work when trying to...

Hi, I´m wondering if there is a way to do internal pingponging with the TASCAM 388 with the use of the eff/aux outs during mixdown. Regards /Hans

Hi, I need a little help to understand how my patchbay is working. I got a TASCAM PB32-B, balanced, normalled patchbay and is trying to figure out how to use it the way I want. First... I can connect a Compressor to channel 1 thru the patchbay like this 1...

Hi there, trying to figure out a way to pingpong tracks with effects. I think that I´ve understanded that there is impossible to do so with the usual ping-pong method, as the effects is AFTER the track faders in the signal chain. I know that a great way would be to mix down (up to 8) tracks...

Hi everyone, I have the oppurtunity to buy a used TASCAM 34B for a nice price, assume it´s in good condition, would it be useful as a Mixdown deck for my TASCAM 388 recordings? Any tips on the best way to record two tracks on it, is it best to record on all FOUR tracks 1+2=L 3+4=R, or just 1&4...

Hi, I bought a used IBANEZ DM-1000 from a friend, and it did not have the original rackmount ears so I need to buy new ones. I guess Ibanez no longer have those in stock so I need some advices on where to look after a new set of rackmount ears, matching the unit I have, practically and...

Hi, here´s a Tascam 388 newbie question about effects on mixdown. I know that you can connect two different effect units but the EFF Outs on the backpanel, they can be returned to the EFF rtn jack on the back panel. Then you have the Eff 1 and Eff 2 mix knobs on the front panel that would be the...

Hi, I´m in the process of setting up an analog home recording studio and want some reflections upon my idea. I know i´ll need a Patchbay for this project but I am unsure of which type of patchbay to look after. Please look at the attached picture and help me decide which patchbay that would fit...
