thanks for the reply! sconce is not a word I've ever heard of....but had a look on google.... yes something like that, an uplighting wall mounted thing. Some look really nice. I also like the idea of some par-cam lights. Unfortunately we're not great on the height front, the ceiling will come down t...

Hello Tape-Op folks! I'm having a new rehearsal room built to spec which has a suspended ceiling using 600mmx600mm modular sound block.... however....I'm puzzled to know what to do with the lighting. Do I a) get modular lighting (but thus reducing the sound conditioning leading to leakage) b) get fi...

Hey! Were vocal effects put on the computer or did you mix it all down to a stereo channel on your laptop? Either way, sounds great! Dirty, early black keys....who did a couple on a 388 I believe?!? We have a 388 at www.notools.co.uk in the UK! We love it! I'll post some bits up soon. Keep up the ac...

Hi folks.

I'm finding it difficult to find a manual for my Tascam 246. Does anyone have a PDF they can send over? The Tascam manuals are really hand when things break.....and they have!

Cheers!

Hi folks! We're giving our never used and newly serviced 388 its first run out this weekend at www.punchstudios.co.uk Ipswich, UK. The band is one I'm in called 'Broken Shapes' www.soundcloud.com/brokenshapes and we're gonna document the recording process as well. I will keep you posted on the recor...

Thanks for the replies folks. Yes, I think I'm being far too vague spanning over 2 decades! 60's is the real vibe I would like to achieve. We have a nice live space to track a 5 piece sensibly, it's not a massive room (6m x 5m...separate vocal booth if needed) but is lively, have moveable baffles an...

Cheers! I've found the less on the drums are better. Using D19/4038 as the overhead and the D12 on the kick (by skin...looking towards the snare a bit). I wondered if there were any other techniques like that for guitar micing? Bands I love the production on are the Kinks, Small Faces, Zombies.....t...

Hi folks I run a small studio in the UK and track to ProTools (6.4.2 via 888/24s....yes....old but steady!!). We run a modest amount of outboard and local bands are really happy with the sounds we're getting at a modest price. However.....I'm looking into getting further into the 'medium-fidelity/lo...

I've found Panic Music Solutions in Cambridge!

So we'll see how that goes!

Hi!! I'm looking to get my Tascam 388 serviced in the UK. I am based in Ipswich in Suffolk (East Anglia)..... Is there anywhere near me that you can recommend? I've been told of a company in Bexhill-On-Sea but it's too far to drop off and pick up on another day....about ?120 at least in petrol :( Th...

I've located the internal gubbins and have adjusted the tension arms....FF and RR work fine but I cant get the balance to get play to work still. I found this advice on another site Okay, so I was able to fix the problem. For me the process went as follows: Reel Servo Tension Roller Adjustment The f...

Sounds to me like easy fixes (though I could be wrong). I used to own one of these and found that I needed to adjust the tension arms (trim pots located in the electronics) in order to get FF, REW and Play to work. Patience is all I needed, god knows I didn't have much skills at that time. Also, th...

Hey folks....fist post on here for me! I picked up a 388 for ?60 yesterday. I has a few issues that need ironing out. 1st up. Pan on 2nd track dies as you turn it to the Left....is fine panned hard right but loses volume as it goes left....none of the others do this. The main problem is no playback....
