I was actually looking for the "big dummy" forum but I guess this will have to do. When I say I am new to this, I'm talking last night (9/13).
I recently purchased a Tascam 924 MKII for my own personal entertainment. I finally got the opportunity to spend some time working with it last night, and things did not go well.
The initial step-by-step instructions suggest the use of a microphone to get started. Well, I don't own one. Besides, initially all I wanted to do was lay down some rhythm tracks with my guitar and then play some leads.
Well I tried connecting from the "line out" on my amp to the 424. No signal. No sound. No nothing.
Okay. Next brilliant idea, plug the guitar in direct. Well, if I turn the levels all of the way up (icluding the guitar), I could hear the guitar thru the headphones, but the sound was very distorted.
So, its obvious that I'm doing something wrong (as in "big dummy"), but the manual is a little vague. Once ya'll stop laughing, any viable assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
