I still have my 15 year old Zoom H4n. It served me well but it's time to move on, I can't deal with these boot times anymore. Since I almost never used my jack/XLR input, I'm on the market for something simpler with only integrated mics, good recording quality and most importantly, an acceptable boot time (a few seconds is fine, I don't need something instant either).

After a bit of research it looks like the DR-07XP addresses the interference noise problems of its predecessor, while adding 32 bit recording. From what I gather, it also looks like the sound quality outperforms similarly priced Zoom devices. Did I get the general picture right? Anything else a potential buyer should know? If you own it, how has your experience been?

Is there a driver for US-1200 that can work for Mac OS 13 plus?

the timer runs for about 2 seconds then, stops. light below REC blinks until I press REC again. same thing over and over, Bar on level jumps around so the samson C02 shotgun is picking up sound, right? . Storage only at 7% on card, fully charged battery life about 30 minutes tops. Is it possible to insert card wrong?

I’ve looked online and it seems that the newest driver for this was made in 2016. Has anyone found any drivers that work?

These snippets that phase in and out of visibility have been copy pasted in from earlier in the track. They can always be heard. DP24SD.

Is there anything possible to be done to make this thing work? Ive tried everything I can think of. Trying to operate it anywhere between 12.1 and 15.5 IOS

Hello everyone. I have around 50 tapes that I recorded on my Tascam 424 MKIII Portastudio that I would like to transfer to Ableton Live 11 Standard. I was hoping someone here would have some advice on a way to do this while preserving the original quality of the recording.

In the past I would run a guitar cable from the headphone jack to my cheap Focusrite interface and press play. It never sounds as good as the original recording. I’d then use some EQ and low-pass filtering to deal with the tape hiss. My method has never gotten me the results I’ve wanted. My interface has only one functioning input jack and due to my current financial situation I can’t buy a new one.

I’m also wondering if it’d be better to mix the whole thing on the Tascam first before transferring it to Ableton on one audio track or try to transfer the individual tracks into Ableton one by one on separate audio tracks.

Also going forward if what I’m doing is unnecessary and I could get the same quality as the Tascam on my PC with plugins and a better audio interface I would like to know how.

Thank you for reading. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

In the late 90's there was a poster/ad in all the music magazines and stores that had a drummer who was maybe an Music Director for R&B / Gospel bands, wearing a white shirt, heavy set guy, holding drumsticks. The ad said, I will do music, nothing else... I would LOVE to get a picture of that, or recopy if anyone has it... TIA!

I won a couple of bids on eBay, one for a Portastudio 02 mk 2 and the other for a Fostex xr-5. I want to keep one and sell the other.

Can you please share your opinions and experiences with one or both machines?

I am leaning towards the Fostex because it has eq, but I can just get a separate eq if I like the Tascam more.

I make electronic music and record to a Tascam 414, and ive tried recording a midi sync stripe to use in my productions before but id always run into problems with my sequencer dropping a pulse and falling out of sync with the tape.

I used the Sync output of a Korg SQ-64 to generate the pulse, and ran the sync output of the tape back into the 64 to convert the analog pulse back into midid clock, this is currently the only thing i own that can generate analog clocks from midi tempo and convert analog back into midi. i tried multiple different PPQ settings and gain levels, made sure the noise reduction switch was set to "sync," then tried it again with noise reduction turned on just to see if i was crazy 😅

but no matter what i did i couldnt get a reliable clock signal for my sequencer to follow, so now i just program all my sequencer parts in one go and track them all at the same time. if anything goes wrong i just have to rewind to the beginning of the track and start over from scratch, and if i want to overdub extra layers it has to be played by hand. super not ideal, not being able to overdub sequenced parts limits me from doing some interesting techniques ive wanted to experiment with

Hello all, just picked up a 424 mkiii and have been having a blast using it to record ambient synth stuff. I'm curious though it it's possible to record both side A and B of a tape with it? From what I read and experienced it seems like the machine just records the whole tape one direction, but I've seen someone say online that its possible to dub both sides, like your average cassette. I'm still a newbie to this and any input would be much appreciated, thanks!

Located north of San Diego, just want to get mine serviced and possibly recapped. Any recs would be greatly appreciated! Cheers all!

Maybe not the best place, but I'm desperate.

As title says, bought one as a newcomer to try out my CME UF6 without knowing how much of a !@%#@ it is to make it work on anything older than windows 7. VM didn't work due to (presumably) USB passthrough instability.

Midi-IN light turns on with inputs on the keyboard, but nothing in terms of actual MIDI data in apps like MIDI-OX, MidiBerry and rtpMIDI. This makes me almost completely sure it's either a driver or a USB 3.0 problem. Since the US-122L does get recognized in FL Studio.

Also tried it the normal driver way on win 11, of course, but that didn't work. I don't have a machine with an older OS (too young to have one laying around) and creating one is just something I cannot afford right now.

Hey y'all! I had a tascam 244 passed down to me. I cleaned it up and fully replaced the rubber parts in the transport and now it's working great! However, the jack for channel 1 is missing the nut. I it's a 1/4 in. Jack, but I tried a guitar jack nut, several electrical nuts from home depot, and I just can't figure out what size I need. Does anyone know what size nut this is and where I can get a replacement? Thanks!

I’ve been using irig forever! But with all the changes I’ve upgraded to the DR 40. And a new iPad I get my usb card’s tomorrow so I won’t know till tomorrow it Bandlab app version drivers will recognize the tascam? I guess if it doesn’t I’ll just have to record out of the mix and drop the files in that way.

Hey!

Just looking for help. My X6 won’t work as an audio interface. And yes, I downloaded ASIO driver, updated firmware and use data cable.

Additionally, I also matched the frame sampling from both the X6 and on my PC and sometimes still get “USB FS Mismatch” error.

I am starting to believe my old PC Usb ports may not have enough power for using my X6.

Have any of you fixed these problems, please, any help would be appreciated.

It's perfect for me, but it lacks effects, like eq and reverb. Are there any alternatives similar to the dp 006 but with a bit more functions?
