Can you do a tutorial on this machine please ! I’ve been searching all through out the net and there isn’t one full in depth tutorial on how to use the 488 mkii . Looking for help on recording, assignment, doubling , and also erasing a track please !!!

Nicely performed and put together. Who's the inspiration for a track like this. Kind of almost Springsteen. Would that be a fair guess?

Cool song. I like it. Simple and uncluttered. Love the sparse piano, and the steady fingerpicked guitar - which is mesmerizing. Love the music box guitar tone/feel . Great vocal. My wish list: 1) tightened rhythm - not necessarily quantized, but definitely tighter. 2) longer intro before vocals. 3) bit more volume on piano track. 4) and maybe the judicious use of double tracking vocals in the chorus. Thx for sharing.

@GregWallis 9 ай бұрын

Fab. And what a truly great song. In 1981 I bought the original Portastudio 144. Now I've just bought the Model 12 and it's fantastic. Almost an analogue experience but with digital technology which is a joy to use. I think many people are learning that some of the older simpler ways of doing things are more inspiring and bring greater joy. Keep it up, you're pretty good.

Are you low-cutting any of the guitars? The reason I ask if that they sound so full and really good. I'm wondering if I should be EQing my acoustics differently. Thanks for posting these clips. Im mainly doing digital multitracking, but Im thinking about working on a solo album at some point and channels like yours really help. Im also thinking about transferring some of my old 4 track tapes to .wav format for archiving but I havent quite figured out how to do that with my setup. Anyway, all the best!

@4Ever4Track 10 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for the message. So, there is no eq whatsoever on the guitar. The fullness comes in increments: 1. Med/light monel strings have more full sound with less brittle high end; 2. Dunlop nylon heavy pick (1.0) keeps things round and full; 3. Dynamic mics are less sensitive and capture more direct source and less ambient so positioning them to capture full tone is easier; 4. Technique - I rarely if ever play 6 note chords, at most I play three note chords and let the notes ring; 5. Analog signal path with warm preamps going directly to tape adds another layer of warmth and fullness; 6. Plate reverb set to a short pre delay and short decay adds ambience and gives the source some depth and width

@4Ever4Track This is good to know. Thanks so much. Currently working with a single condenser (AT4040) which sounds pretty good through my Tascam DP008 but I'm not getting the same roundness and warmth with the Zoom R24 that I'm learning to use. I've ordered a tube mic preamp, so I'm hoping that helps. Really digging your songs and recordings on here. Your vocals sound great too. Goes particularly well with the natural sound of the guitars. Keep on keeping on. 🤘

Great tune. This could be on the radio. Love that 388!!! I just learned of the 388 a few years ago. Wish I would've bought one years ago. I'm a Tascam lover and user from the mid 80s. I still have my PortaOne (burnt up motor) and my 424mk1 that's still working fine. Around 2005 went digital with my DP-03 eight track. Last year made the leap into the DP-24. I was blindsided by the learning curve since I've used Tascam products for almost 40 years. 😂 I still love the tape sound. Keep up the great videos. ✌

@4Ever4Track 10 ай бұрын

I never knew about the 388 when I was learning 4 tracks back in the 90s. It’s such a great machine. Tascam is/was so innovative.

I have a Tascam 414, and just got the Tascam Model 16 for doing exactly what your doing. I figured out years ago that the 414 has 4 outputs - L, R, Mon, and the sync out is always channel 4. The Model 16 seems a bit intimidating but the menus remind me of the ones on my Zoom H4. Great minds think alike. Great song BTW! - cheers!

I have a Tascam M-320b and 80-8 reel to reel as well as daw and honestly, sound wise I always prefer the analog but for making fast fun infinite changes to something or for weird and odd arrangements I prefer the DAW. One doesn’t necessarily sound better per say, each has its merits. and flaws.

Love the 388. That's some fancy gear you've got in fromt of the Tascam. Sounds really good. Question: What do you have against reverb? 😬

@benbirdsinging3275 Жыл бұрын

That sounds great! Although I have actually paid less attention to my Boss BR 80, I am still working on it again in addition to my Cakewalk by Bandlab activities. Recording directly with a multitrack recorder requires a certain working method and playing style that you master well. Keep up the cord work. Good luck from the Netherlands, Greetings Ben.

Years ago I had a Tascam 388 studio 8 that you showed in your vid. I bought it used for $250 but, it was not in great shape. I had it for a few years and the condition got worse. I didn't have the money or ability to get it fixed. Switched over to a Korg D3200 digital recorder. Then, 10 years ago I lost my full time job and had to get rid of virtually all of my gear. So, that's it.😁

My goodness,that sounds very,very good. I miss the sound of tape! You’re about to make me rethink my entire recording\production process. I bought and used a T 246 many years ago and later got rid of it in the name of “upgrading\modernizing” LOL. There’s no denying the great sound of your recording,great job.
