Today I explain a little trick you need to know in order to record the Tascam 414's 4 tracks simultaneous. You don't want to record them 1-by-1 and have to adjust the wow&flutter afterwards per track to get the groove right. Trust me, it's a pain! :)
Njoy, and hope you learn something from it!

If you like multitrack recording on tape, checkout a recorder like the Tascam da-98hr, it has 8 channels and records onto DTRS Hi8 tape, you can even link multiple machines to get many tracks!

I had the Tascam 424 MK2 years ago. Had some great fun with it. I didn't think to do this so yes I have learnt something. Supah accent btw!

what cable converters do you use to get out from the tascam? right now im going rca out into a mini mixer and then 1/4 inch to my soundcard...not very efficient though. would rather do straight into the soundcard

@SupahDupah 5 жыл бұрын

just rca to jack cable... or you can get a rca adapter for a normal jack cable.

Can you use the Fx1 out for the 4th track out ? Its pre or post EQ? Does it need to be routed for the "monitor" rotary fader or goes directly to the output? Also, can you use the Fx2 out for the 3rd track with this configuration just moving the cables, or its relevant for volume purposes to first go to the monitor section? Thanks in advance!!

@SupahDupah 3 жыл бұрын

No, this is the only way... from the top of my head effect1 is post fader, so you need to raise the fader which will get the signal on to the main outputs as well...

do you have an clue about the sound through the monitor is much louder than when played back? greetings and thanks for the vid!

@SupahDupah 3 жыл бұрын

No not really... can you be more specific?

@bonzodimduly Ай бұрын

i have a mini version of this, this one is way cooler with the eq and effect sends and pitch control

@tB3o3tR9o9 Жыл бұрын

can't you send out track 4 over the second Effect Send? i mean there are two effects sends

@SupahDupah Жыл бұрын

Because for the FX send 1 to be getting a signal, you have to turn up the fader, which makes the sound also go to the main output... fx send 2/tape cue, you can leave the fader down...

Could you demonstrate how you record with the 424? recently just picked one up.

@SupahDupah 5 жыл бұрын

I will see if I can do that... but it's pretty much the same as on the 414. And to record the tracks to your daw, it simply has 4 separate outputs on the back, to make life so much easier :)

@Ejlectronics6 5 жыл бұрын

That's really handy. Another question. How do/do you store all your tape loops? You just have a stockpile of tape loop cassettes or do you just record what you need into a DAW then wipe the cassette to start again?

I just make a song with it and then use it again for another song. I finish a song in 1 or 2 days... that works for me!

Hi, how to avoid hum when record to/out tascam? It's a problem for me sometimes.

@SupahDupah 6 жыл бұрын

My 414 also did hum a bit, my issue was a not powerful enough adapter, when I changed it for a more powerful one, it started to work without humming... (until now ;) ) So it maybe worth it to check that! Hope this helps!

@@SupahDupah no no no, first of all, you're explanation is horrible... second of all, you have to resort to this kind of horse shit just to record 4 tracks at once means you cannot just record 4 tracks straight away... which makes this piece of shit almost completely useless.
