Re: Finally Acquired Tascam 388 and need Sage Advice!

1st off, Thank you guys.

I do have the manual with the schematics. It came with it. My problem is that I'm not very savvy with electrical engineering. If y'all can point me in the right direction I'll do my best though. I just wanna get this bad boy recording on all 8 channels.


Thank you!

Re: Finally Acquired Tascam 388 and need Sage Advice!

So I tested it and here are the results...

When patched into Ch 1 and routing in the assign section to ch 5 it records to channel 5. When patched into Ch 5 and assigned to channel 1...nothing. It only records on channel 5.

I really don’t lknow what it could be. Any suggestions?

Hey Nick! All the recording functions buttons do light up and flash until I record then they stay solid as they should. ———————————————————————————————————- The insert in the monitor section is definitely off.
