Been looking for this kind of information forever, thanks!!

Thank you SO much for this video! I have been really struggling to get my tracks converted to digital from my fostex 4 track. All new stuff for me, and you gave such a straightforward and clear description. Super appreciate it 🌟

Excellent video! I got the info I needed to get this project done. Thanks!

thank you, just what i was looking for.

I've been wanting to do this for years but didn't know where to start. THANKS!!!!

I hoped there would be more detail here. You are transferring from a Tascam 424 like me. What are the settings on the 424 to get 4 outputs? Which faders are controlling the output levels of each track? I've tried many things, and I'd hoped your video would actually explain the detail to transfer using the 424. Any clarification would help.

Thanks Landon! you rock

Nice video!

Great video. 👍🏻 Any way to split the stereo signal to record 2 seperate mono tracks at once?

good video! bit of a long question but I wondered if you had any advice on this. I recorded a song on my DAW and wanted to experiment with using tapes with a cd player / cassette tape recorder . my idea was to put each individual stem/instrument (with a 4 click count in at the start of each track) on to cd, play the cd, press record on the tape player until all the stems were recorded to tape. so then i used the headphones out on the tape player, hooked it back up to my DAW, played the tape back and hit record on my DAW. There was one problem I into, when attempting to line the (tape recorded stems) up with the original(DAW recorded stems) I noticed the tape stems played back slightly slower and began to veer off noticeably. If i bought a tascam four track and tried to do the same thing, would i be likely to run into this same problem? do all cassette machines playback slightly slower than a digital recording? :-)

thnk ya

Okay! Here’s my issue! I have songs on the EXACT same Roland 8 track you have except it’s a 12 track (at 1:55). How do I get those tracks onto my laptop so I can send the demo to the rest of the guys in my band online? It would be a tremendous help, I know this video is a bit old, but help!!😁 (I don’t have a laptop with an input I think....)

So lets say i have a complete song done from my daw, and i want to add that analog sound from lets say a tascam, how do i load one whole song into it then load it back to the computer with the processed sound from the recorder?

Hey Landon, I’m currently beginning a project and I want to use my Fostex Model 280. I’ve never really been able to figure the thing out are there aren’t a ton of resources that I’ve found online. If you have time, I’m wondering if you think it’s worth it to record digitally, record the whole track to the fostex, and re-record it to the computer, or try to record to the fostex first and then go into the computer track by track? I’m new to this and the gain stages are a bit overwhelming. Thanks!

Great video what’s your favorite way to transfer it into your computer

Hey mate! I do this quite regularly using my tascam 464 and my zoom r24! I find that when its sounding awesome on the 4 track, bouncing out the 4 individual tracks loses that 'cassette' vibe pretty badly, but still sounds pretty alright on the on the zoom, but then once its on the computer, it sounds awful. Its lost all that cassette glue that ties everything together. Do you find this to be true? Is there ways around it. Something about the digital stages is killing the vibe, but its so handy to get more tracks and do things that I couldnt on the 4 track. Would love to know your thoughts.

Hi! What would you consider to be the best in terms of quality to transfer cassette to computer?

Hi, I have about 10 cassettes done on a 4-track but no longer have it -am I better off looking for someone to convert to digital, or should I just get a standard cassette deck and go through my interface to PC? It's original music so I want the best quality reasonable. Thank you!

Would it make a big difference in sound if i recorded every track for itself into a 2input interface, do it for all the 4 tracks and then play them together as seperate tracks in my DAW?

Hey do you use a plugin to take off that cassette hiss after recording?

I have that EXACT Tascam 4 track. I’m trying to transfer all 4 tracks individually. Do you know of a PCI card or a reasonably priced interface I could use. High quality recording isn’t a priority because most recordings are 30 years old. I’m just trying to preserve the recordings digitally before the tape completely deteriorates. Please help. Anyone! Thanks.

this cool now try to send out a analog mixer mix better there!!!!!!!! then vcr hi-fi then to computer. they do that in a daw to get that sound they a putt a vst that post to copy a tape recorder then at the master a nother vst that copy tape. with that real gear then vcr it just does what the vst do butt better sound.

Hey, is that fostex x-77 that you're using?

if I wanted to transfer my four track recording to another tape to listen, how would I do that?

How can i digitize all tracks separately from my 424 Portastudio straight to my DAW (I have a 2i2 Focusrite)?

I'm trying to hook my Fostex X-24 to my AI and I can't seem to get a signal. I'm not sure I have the right cables? Super new to this. I have the 4 tape outs... They require RCA cables. But since RCA is always L/R do I have to plug in both, then to tape out 1/2 for example? I'm so confused 😕

what about the other way around,taking digital files and recording them to tape.

If you have a single input audio interface couldn't you just record one channel --> rewind --> record another channel --> rewind... etc.?

You said 4 outputs but I see you used 2 for the first one?

Where did you get those colored interconnect cables from ?
