John,
You need 16 RCA to RCA cables to do it.
The 8
outputs the Tascam 38 connect to the 8 "TAPE IN" jacks on the RM804 (located directly above the XLR mic inputs according to the manual).
The 8
inputs of the Tascam 38 connect to the 8 "DIRECT OUT" jacks on the back of the RM804 located directly above the TAPE IN jacks, again, according to the manual.
This is if you are wanting to record straight from your board channels 1 ~ 8 to tracks 1 ~ 8 on the 38.
So that will get you started...what next? How will you plan on using the board (i.e. give me a scenario and I'll tell you how to patch it)?
I feel like a damn fool posting this thread.
Hmm...John, you opened up your 38 and got what was left for dead going again...in fact, for a moment I bet you felt like leaving it for dead, but you didn't, and you are going to have a great time with your 38. So, you have my respect. Besides, I have several hundred posts where I felt just like you putting this one up. But I learned, and I bet others did too...people will see this thread and it may help somebody. That's cool
...and fortunately for me a bunch of really smart nice people payed it forward...I'm just trying to do the same.
