Now, ive never done any analog recording... But I have this AKAI 4000DS MK-II (2 track i think...but I read some where's its 4?) and I want to record a track (or two) on it and sync it with my digital gear (roland vs2480). Now there is some sort of pin on the back of it... go HERE and scroll down ALL the way and look at the in/out and left/right RCAs... then in the middle? what the heck is that for lol? I think it fits my midi cable...if i remember correctly I tried it a year or so ago and it worked to plug it in. So, could this be sync'd to my digital gear via midi?
This is what one site says:
4-TRACK STEREO / 2-CHANNEL
3-HEAD
OPEN
REEL TO REEL
1/4" TAPE DECK
WITH
"SOUND-ON-SOUND"
Circa 1976-78
Could anyone can give me a price for what this unit goes for? It's in excellent condition and works great. Also, what is the Sound-on-Sound? and do I have control over multiple tracks? (i dont think I do lol...) I read also that it's just best for a MixDown?
Anyways, I'm not at all good at analog gear or do I have any know-how about it lol, but help would be greatly appreciated
