I'm wondering the best way to use a dbx 163 with my Tascam 388? The dbx 163 has only 2 rca jacks. 1 right and one left. Do I plug them in to the effect return and the effect send? When I do this, what will I be able to do with it? Will I be able to adjust compression on all 8 tracks using the the effects loop volume control? THANKS for any help

I was wondering if anyone knew how to hook up a dbx 163, (the one with the wood panels and the single slider), to the effects loop on a Tascam 388. I never hooked up a unit with a single RCA jack for input and output. I need to compress a couple of tracks on the 8 track, but don't really want to compress the whole mix if I don't have to. I am mixing down to a 22-2. Any help would be great.

Other forum users out and about have recomended 21T204, but usrecordingmedia.com says to use the 21T404 if recording on 456.

Greetings yet again folks
So i just purchased a reel for my 388 tape deck and also have a Tascam fw-1804 as my interface what runs to my nuendo setup. I was curious to know how can i use my Tascam 388 to optimize the sound of my recordings by either tracking it in the Tascam or tracking it to my nuendo first.

I'm thinking about trying to get a Tascam 388. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they good machines? Does the mixer section sound good? Does anyone have one they want to sell? Thanks!
