Tascam TSR-8 buttons not working?
Hi, I recently bought a TSR-8 which I had serviced and was told everything was up speed (after some work). After receiving it I had to put in storage for a bit, so I am just now getting to using it. Unfortunately, it seems that things are not all good. The biggest issue is that the record/play/fwd/r...

Getting mixer and mics
Howdy yall, Recently purchased a Tascam TSR-8, that's in the shop. Should be brought back to life within the next week, so need to start looking for a mixer and mics for recording. *Goal:* Record drums, bass, guitar, synth, vocals. Aiming for a vintage/warm/punch sound when it comes to drums. Since ...

Hey peeps beginner here and recently stumbled upon a 388 that needs some work. Its a few hours away so might take a little commitment. As far as the work it needs, the ad says "Half of the channels work. Some of the VU meter lights are out." Sounds like something that is solvable. Can anyone help me...

The "sprinkles" (cool term) are part of the the bounce to track 4, performed live and mixed with the taped material. Since drum and bass become second generation, this stuff has a tendency to sit on top and be too present, which is why I mentioned conservative levels. Better to have not quite enoug...

These are then bounced to track 4 with live elements such as b/vox, organ pads, additional percussion, whatever. Can you help me understand what you mean here (probably makes sense to others, beginner here though. :) )? Are you bouncing your drums/bass to track 4 then tracking vox/organ/percussion ...

Re: Incorporating Reel to Reel in Recording
Mixing to tape is a lot more subtle than tracking to/thru tape so i'd opt for scenario 1. That said - there's more to it than just the tape. An E609 is a really modern sounding sculpted mic. You're probably better off with using older dynamics (EV635, RE15, sm57 etc) and ribbon mics (even mid/cheap...

There's also the taking it of the repro idea, which I'd use if I was going for a tape sound. You record to tape, but at the same time feed the repro from the tape into the DAW. Therefore your tracks have 'tape sound' but are in a DAW already. The tape is just like an effect, once you've recorded th...

You'll want to either record to tape then go to DAW and stay therefor the mix, or vice versa. This is because of sync issues...most machines will drift faster and slower and so won't ever play back exactly the same. But if you had all tracks on tape that you want there, then play them back (while r...

Incorporating Reel to Reel in Recording
Hey everyone, I wanted to validate some ideas and get some advice on getting into analog recording. Goal : I want to record an album which will contain vocals/synths/electronic and acoustic drums/bass elements. I hope to obtain a warm and older sound. I am a huge fan of deep house (love the punchy a...
