Hi, I’ve been experimenting with different ways to integrate my Tascam 38 into my home studio and I’ve tried a few different ways. From recording first into a daw, then bouncing onto tape and the reverse, recording onto tape then bouncing into a daw. Though I had seen somewhere of a more efficient way of doing the latter which involves just recording through the tape machine.
Obviously theres quite a few potential latency issues but the thing I’m most concerned with is what head to monitor. My 38 has the option to monitor input, Repro and Sync As far as I know input doesn’t travel through the tape just the machine itself so wouldn’t get the ‘tape sound’. Repro I know definitely has the audio going through the tape but sync I wasn’t as sure. Recording through the sync function would eliminate a lot of the latency problems but would the audio passing through the tape, specifically the live audio input.
Thanks, Jo
