I was looking for some help with a problem I am having with the Tascam portastudio424. I have recorded acoustic guitar(TRK 1) acoustic bass(TRK 2) and lead vocals on (TRK 3) with no problem...I have all the setting the same...this is what it looks like....
All the Trim is at the respected levels
All TRK inputs are set at mic/line
EQ at respected levels
effects at 0
TRK 1 pan L
TRK 2 pan R
TRK 3 pan L
TRK 4 pan R
when recording TRK4 levels for TRK 1-3 are at 0 TRK 4 is at level 7 and so is the master level slider.
Line 5-6 Trim 0
Line 7-8 Trim 0 and both of those are assigned L-R
TRK 1-3 is in safe mode and TRK 4 is set at RIGHT for recording
Meter is set to TRK
DBX is on
Tape speed is Norm
zero return is off
memory is off
So now tha I've laid out the setting for you. Here is my problem....I hit play to listen to the other three tracks....when it gets to the part for the background vocals i hit record and do the vocals then hit play to stop the recording. hit stop, rewind, do the same thing to over write what I've done but instead it just adds another layer to the track recorded. what am I doing wrong...the input is in track 4 coming from a PA.....that hasn't been a problem on TRK 1-3....what could be different with TRK 4.
