Use the access points, send and receive. Send goes in the input of your effect, receive from the output. NO Y cables! :alien: That will work for my separate tracks! Another question. I’ll have to try this for myself. But say I have 5 dry drum tracks (1-5) and I want to mix them down to 2 tracks (7-...

You could use the inserts however and this would record. How would I do this? Plug your mic into a channel. Plug a trs y cable (aka an insert cable) into the insert point on that channel.

Hi Folks, Sort of new to the 388 and have a question about effects and inputs. On my Tascam 4-track the effects send/return will go straight to tape when you hit record on any track for which you'd applied effects, which is awesome.

I was doing some guitar overdubbing to the left side of track 5, and suddenly the audio got all scratchy. I figured it was a dirty head so I cleaned...
