I am by no means a home recording guru - as a matter of fact, I know almost nothng. I recently got a brand new Tascam digital portastudio DP-02, and I can't seem to get it to playback after recording a track. I've looked in the manual and can't find anything relating to this problem - it should be able to playback right after laying down a track. Any suggestions?

Hello all my first post here :D Im new to recordings though i have used pro studios many times for the bands that i have played in myself, i no longer have the time to travel to studios but still want to record new material, i would like to produce something of a decent standard if at all possible using a portastudio ! are there any machines worth buying ?

Hi all this is my first post and if i keep running into silly little problems like this then there will be more to come, ive got a Tascam us1641 interface and I'm running the Cubase 4 le software that comes with it, ive pretty much know my way round Cubase to record edit add effects compression etc.

I'm looking for a Tascam IF-TAD TDIF/ADAT converter. Any thoughts on where I might find one? Thanks!

I figured I'd make a general discussion/q&a forum for this because i will need it.
Anyways,
I just installed my Tascam 1641 today.
Overall, it is great, however so far I tried recording through the two guitar inputs in the front, and the guitar (no matter how high iturn up the volume) it doesn't show it coming up on the software...
help?

So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. To answer your preliminary questions; the headphones are fine and no it doesn't happen in playback. At first I thought it might have been a bad jack, but how could it be the jack if it doesn't distort during playback? Also, it doesn't matter how low my levels are when recording, it still distorts.

Happy Holydays
No sound. I paid for a twenty dollar optical cable hoping these connections would get me a digital audio* connect. The Tascam fw-1804 won't even read a signal coming in.
Am l doing something wrong?

I'm not an audio guy, but my job has me recording and editing. We are using Audition 2 and recently purchased Tascam FW-1082 boards. The only useful thing on the board seems to be the gain knob. The sliders don't adjust anything while recording. Also, the gain knob is only useful during the last 1/4 of it's rotation. Anything less than that, and the sound doesn't record.

Which do you choose?

I'm debating on working with Pro Tools and using a Digidesign C|24 as a control surface, and a 003 rack... Or going a cheaper route and using Cubase with a Tascam DM4800, and a MOTU interface

I have had a little more experience with cubase, a little easier for me to work with, but what do you guys think?
Is it that big of a difference?

Hello everyone!

I'm using a Fireface 800 to record, and I need more preamps because I would like to record my band live.

I could buy preamps but as I don't have a console, I would like to buy one to use as premps and summing, and also to practice mixing.
