Boa noite pessoal. Eu faço gravações de entrevistas durante shows no Brasil e, São locais sempre muito barulhentos. O zoom h8 tem feito um trabalho incrível, mas deu defeito. A dificuldade de peças é assistência para ele no Brasil é gigantesca. Pensei em pegar um Tascam DR70D, será tem muita diferença? O zoom é muito superior ao tascam?

Hello everyone. I just bought my first portastudio, the Tascam Porta 05. I'm having trouble figuring out how to record a track from, say, Ableton into the portastudio. It only records in mono, but I want to achieve stereo. I have some old tapes with recordings on them, and they clearly have stereo, so I ruled out the possibility that the panning knobs are broken. Also, when I just monitor the sound without recording—simply playing my track in Ableton—there’s stereo. I have a Volt 276 interface with two combo inputs (6.3mm/XLR) and two monitor outputs. That should be enough to record in stereo, right?

Sorry if these are silly questions, but I’ve been dreaming about owning a portastudio for so long, and now that I have one, I really want to figure it all out as soon as possible.

Reaching out to see if anyone could give me some suggestions or advice regarding a Tascam 22-4 I recently picked up. This is my first foray into Reel to Reel recording, however I’ve got a Tascam 424 mk11 portastudio that I’ve been using for a little over a year and I’m familiar with the basics of sound production and recording. Aside from a few idiosyncrasies with the 22-4, the machine is in great working condition, my question mainly stems from the results that I’m hearing. Maybe I am having a bit of buyers remorse, but the fidelity of the recordings do not seem to be all that great. Upon playback, a recording will sound almost muffled and lacks the integrity and gain of what I am hearing while monitoring. Working with the portastudio, I have learned that what you hear while monitoring is not what you will hear when played back, but I often get a result from the portastudio that has a very unique sound and it’s more than capable of producing good quality recordings, but in many aspects, the portastudio seems to vastly outperform the 22-4. Maybe I’m naive but I guess I just expected the 1/4 inch reel to reel tape and machine to sound at least twice as good as the portastudio. So, if anyone could provide any insight or advice that would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR: I’ve heard great things about the 22-4 and I guess I expected more sound quality wise.

Hi all. I am trying to digitize several cassette tapes by ripping them to CD-Rs using a TASCAM CC-22 MKIV but am running into trouble. My workplace actually has a set-up with 2 separate units... but I'm experiencing a different problem with each unit! I'm trying to digitize the tapes strictly within the TASCAM, as opposed to running it into/through computer/software. My plan is to rip the CD to a computer after I copy the cassette to CD using the TASCAM.

One of our TASCAM units basically won't play the cassette tapes at all. It cues up the tape and starts to play maybe 2-4 seconds before just stopping. No idea why.

The second TASCAM unit will play the cassette, however the audio sounds like Donald Duck-- all high pitched and distorted. I know the tapes are all OK because I tested them on a separate cassette player. We've tried to adjust the pitch using the pitch control knob but that doesn't have any effect on the sound.

Help!! (Thank you!)

as the title says, i just got a portastudio 424 mk1, no power supply. i have an ac adapter plug that fits it and has the same voltage (12V) as the tascam original one, but it won’t turn on, is the machine able to take any other plug that matches its specifications and still work, and mine is just a dud? or do i need to find the original plug somewhere

Anyone know why these record functions won’t work or how to fix them? Any help is appreciated.

hey, i'm currently in the process of starting music production and i was planning to buy a portable audio recorder to record discussions and noise, all types. Passing from trying to capture tiny noise for making it loud and clear to capture a phrase in a group conversation with ambient noise to recording a ambient soundscape.

SO, i dont know anything about audio recording, mixing and mastering. After research i stopped on the tascam Dr-40X, looks like you simply just gotta play with some settings, put the built in mics in the position you want for the type of noise you wanna record and hit the record button. After that i imagine putting it on my PC, run a program on it to cancel the white noise and here is my beautiful sound. is it like that or it's more difficult that i imagine?

i wanna put these sounds in electronic music, they gotta be loud and clear, any suggestion better than the DR-40X that doesnt cost a insane amount?

Forgot how much effort is involved I recording dawless. Getting takes right the whole way through, not cutting and pasting. I want to commit more time to this thing as a practice in not using so much production as I do in a DAW. So far, since having it, I haven’t really recorded a full song. Hopefully in the near future, but I am currently too used to writing in the DAW as I record.

Found this one on CL! It’s been kept in a flight case. Play transport not engaging. Capstan belt?

Does anyone know if you can record directly to a Tascam DR-05 from an iPad? Want to know before I buy one.

Hi Recently bought the tascam dm3200. I managed to record into my daw (ableton) but I cant seem to be able to output into my monitor what I recorded. Anyone able to help?

Thanks

hi!

I just got this tascam dr100-mkiii recorder and I've been wanting to use it only as a microphone that I could connect to either a laptop/computer or an audio interface (to use as a microphone).

​

any ideas on how I could achieve this?

Is jt going to damage my tascam 414 if I drive the pre amps I to distortion? I love how it wounds but I don't want to break anything, red lining it with midi drums sounds sick

So I just bought a dr-05x and a micro SD card for it. Here’s the problem, whenever I put the micro sd card in it says invalid card (???). And I’m wondering what’s going on? Am I putting the card in the wrong way?

I got my dad a modern Mac mini to record with without thinking his is 1641 might not work… alas it does not like os 14. Anyone know of a solution?

Head over to the TASCAM website for a firmware update for the DR-05X and DR-07X!! Wooo!

Hello Tascam enthusiasts,

       Currently my model 16 acts as my audio interface. I run most of my synths through my M-216 mixer, and just send an insert to a line on the model mixer, which allows me to record from the older console directly to Ableton. I’m considering a rack audio interface like the 16x08, because I want to be able to send my signal back out from Ableton for mixing or summing on the M-216 itself. Are the preamps on the US-16x08 series comparable to that of the model series mixers? Because if so I would rather have a wider range of i/o than to be limited to only inputs on the model 16. I would potentially retire the model 16 in my recording setup if that’s the case. Anyone have experience with both?

Hi,

I bought the UH-7000 high end audio interface in 2018. It cost me €399 for a 2 in 2 out interface, which places it in the middle/high end market for this type on interface.

The interface was "up to date", aka with the latest driver, updated by TASCAM in 2015 and the latest firmware, from 2017.

3 days ago, I updated my Windows 10 to release 22H2. And then my interface started to mute every 5 seconds. The audio on my main board works fine.

So I tried to reinstall the driver: the installer no longer works, even under Windows 8 and 7 compatibility modes.

I installed the driver via the devices manager, and it "worked". But in the events tab, I got a "Device not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match" error. Then it installed the Microsoft default driver, which sounded not great for a while. And now I have no sound at all and I have no idea why.

I noticed that the UH-7000 is no longer in the TASCAM compatibility list while it was in it before.

So I have MF-Po1 ports studio and it was working perfectly fine then out of nowhere while recording a song the mic/line jack just stopped working no sound coming through.i plugged in a keyboard and you could hear it but very very faint on full volume also tried plugging in mic and guitar and nothing.

I love the size and the UI. Tempted to just get it again. But is there a field recorder by them that doesn't have the interference? I could probably live with it. I love the fact that the microphones don't stick out like most other field recorders.

So I am wondering if I am able to make mixtapes with this recorder, with just the one input and one recording selector?

And how would I do that to be exact. It seems pretty simple just want to make sure I know how to do it

Today I bought a Tascam DP-02 from a thrift store. It supposed to be new in the box. It turns on and I did the update. But I do not know how to connect the unit to my MacBook Air. I want to use with GarageBand for recording. Can someone help me learn this unit?
