How to Pump up your Drums with any Tascam Portastudio!
Honestly, I REALLY surprised myself with this one. I chopped up some drums from a session and they already sounded great. Pumping them through my Tascam Portastudio took them to then next level though. Like wow.
Tascam Model: Portastudio 424 mk ii
Unfortunately, they don't make these anymore, but there are a ton of them around!

Awesome work! Alternatively, you (collective "you") don't *have* to go for a deliberately lofi sound if you don't want to. You can also use tape decks to achieve that phat tape magic while keeping it as high fidelity as possible. Hitting the tape nice and hot at high tape speed can achieve amazing clarity while still adding punch and character. For instance, you can get a lot of glorious, clear, smooth "air" in clean condenser vocals running it nice and hot onto tape. It can keep vocals crystal clear while naturally easing upper-mid harshness. BUT...it's all about experimenting, tinkering, and having fun with it!

I'm trying to think of ways to use the 424 with a DAW creatively. Thanks for this! And Nice Wurlitzer elec. piano back there! So one thing I've also heard the 424 does is that the tape speed varies slightly from the original every time you hit play, fast forward or rewind. So I guess if you're tracking instruments, it would make sense to EQ drums through the 424 after printing them to the DAW then have the other instruments play on top of the re-imported drum tracks. Or maybe send the entire finished DAW track through the 424? I used to use the 424 a lot more when this was a solo project, but now that we're a full band it's just really impractical to only us the 424. I've been wondering if there's a way to route the 424 effects loop into Reaper. I guess I'll have to figure that out, because the effects loop and the EQ knobs are probably my favorite things about the 424.

@@LiamKillen Oh. Tape cue is for monitoring tracks in your headphones while recording. There are no built in FX - it's a send knob that requires you to have an effect plugged in to the send and return jacks. The only way to control saturation is to turn up the gain on the incoming signal.

@trashfuzzaudio
@trashfuzzaudio 4 жыл бұрын
@@LiamKillen On the back of the machine you should have fx in and out. When you plug an effect through the in, you use the fx knob to dial in the amount of that effect you want to use. The rise in gain I guess you are hearing is just a lift in volume to what is being played since you aren't plugged in to any outboard equipment. Tape saturation is not a mechanical adjustment on these machines. To develop a good saturation, you would manually have to degrade the tape via razor blades or just hours and hours of continuous use. I'm glad you enjoyed playing with the machine, there are loads of fun stuff to do on them!

I’m not 100% certain about which one is the best quality. I do know that if you record on the 424 at high tape speed, the quality is quite good as far as cassettes go, but still somewhat lofi by today’s standards. Also, the cassette tape quality itself makes a difference. You’ll find more specific answers on reddit.

It's a sad commentary on modern "fidelity" of digital recordings, when a weepy little tascam and all its cheesy preamp distortion beats a cavalcade of DAWs and their legions of plugins to the "punch". This is why Otari's still cost $10,000. Happy biasing, all, and don't forget to clean your heads periodically with Q-tips and alcohol!

O. Teknology I’m unaware of the outs on his model but that is what I’ve done with other portastudios and my interface. I reamp samples/tracks into the ins and record the out into my DAW. I’d imagine if you have a desk or other processing that accepts the level of the outs then you’d be fine, I do this with my arturia drumbrute>DAW for processing and into a stereo bus>reamp to yamaha mt8x>back to DAW. Live I use an old mixer to summ and send the outs to some effects that add similar character as a tape machine would.

Tascam Porta 02 MK II does not have EQ or pitch control. ;) So you need EQ and pitch controler, otherwise it's just a simple 4 tracks and every thing sounds like shit into it honestly, no lofi sounds just sound without dynamic and lot of white noise even with a clean reading head. Other tip: don't have a clean reading head ;) lofi comes from dirt and broken stuff first.

"But keep in mind, this is the 90s, so Hi-Fi- sounds a bit Lo-Fi". What in the actual fuck are you talking about?! lol CDs had been around since the 80s. You had chrome tapes, etc. Hell, even normal ferric tapes you'd buy that contain albums sound great. I think part of the sound is certainly that tape saturation but also that the Tascam 424 was a "budget" model to get people recording music and doesn't contain the best components of that time. Great vid otherwise. :D

@@LiamKillen I'd never in my life heard anyone say "MK" followed by a number until about 5 years ago. It's always been "mark', and still is to anyone over about 35, or in a military, which use it a lot for its generations of equipment. I imagine it's down to how much communication has shifted away from speech and online. But yeah, it's always good to know what an abbreviation abbreviates.

Drums? You mean the impression of percussive sounds on our current ears.?That has nothing to do with actual membranes or hard surfaces being stuck. You're onto something in referring to "sounds" What we need to accept is that there may not be a "real world" connection between what exists in the actual acoustic world of vibration and what is generated via electrical impulses.

@@LiamKillen People often ask when they hear that I'm a musician what instrument I play. I answer..... a transducer. I own a Steinway B but on bookings I go out with Kurzweil piano modules, a drum machine and legacy FM synth bass modules. I'm really "playing" a pair of nice EV speakers (transducers) since that is what the host and guests are hearing and processing. Those transducers are engendering a simulacrum of actual acoustic instruments.
