My setup atm is a Laptop and a EMU 0204 DAW. As my laptop isn't the most powerful, I want to use external effects units(mainly reverb and delay) to save on cpu usage, sound etc. How to I use the effect unit during mixing? Meaning how can I affect a track with an effect after it's been recorded...

The only way I know how to mixdown, is by line out of my 488, into the R and L inputs of my Audio interface. Listening to the song till I'm happy, then just simply recording it into a program all at once. I avoid recording each track individually because of latency BS. Whilst the the whole...

I still want to upgrade from tascam 488, to a reel to reel. Only problem is that I see/read that most machines need repair or are partially not working. I have no idea where to go to fix these problems, or how I would do it myself. Many tascam 388's are showing up these days, but are always...

Hello, I have a Tascam 424mk3 and was wondering if it makes sense or even works to buy a seperate mixer for it? Reasons 1. to perhaps improve sound quality? 2. to have 8 tracks instead of the 4 on the porta? I see many Tascam m-30's around for cheap, would it do what I think it could do?Or...

How do I connect my MicroKorg into my Tascam 424 mk3, to use an effect? I want to use the korg to treat tracks on the 424? Using the filters etc any ideas? thanks

For creating master tapes with one song per track,it makes sense for the tape to be a short as possible right? like 20 or 3 anybody know about TDK SM-X20 tapes? I've been using TDK SM-60's but having drop out issues with them.

I want to upgrade from my 414, but MK2 OR MK3? I've read the review on this site, but it's not very conclusive. So i've understood that the mk3 is, lighter and smaller than the MK2 Are those two extra tracks actually fully functional, making the mk3 a 6 track essentially? Are mk2's power...

I've been reading a shit load about mixing down and I'm still baffled! I'm thinking mixing down into a friends pro tools is the easiest option I have. I read on this site mixing down to tape is a definite no go? DAT I know nothing about. So if I mix down into pro tools isn't that defying the...
