Whadup party people? Apologies if this has issue has been specifically addressed, I couldn't find it. (My initial post in the DP-24 love thread was met by cricket chirps).
Being an absolute beginner in this area, I wonder if someone here might be kind enough to point me in the right direction. I just ordered a DP-24 and my 1st project is digitizing my old 4 track tapes. My 1st issue:
I have a Tascam 424 I've never used previously & I need to know how to dump 4 tracks at once since the only outs are 2 RCA's, a headphone out, & 1 effects send.
Furthermore, I'd like to know how to make the tapes sound as good as possible (restore as much lost frequencies as I can, minimize phasing if possible). The question is should I employ outboard gear? (if so, which makes/models) Or should I forgo rack equip entirely, & once the tracks are on the flash drive, should I use software to clean up the audio? (And which programs?) Thanks very much for your suggestions.
