  Tascam Portastudio 414 - "Decent cassette based idea pad" - themaddog

  

  This is a cassette based (1/8") 4 track recorder that records on high bias, type II cassettes in a single direction. It has dbx type II noise reduction, but on my used machine this had drifted, so recordings sounded better without it engaged. dbx on track 4 can be disengaged separately for timecode purposes. There is a pitch wheel that allows...

  Tascam 388 - "Great first reel to reel multitrack recorder" - themaddog

  

  The Tascam 388 (also known as the Studio 8) is a 1/4" 8 track recorder with a built in mixer that was released in 1985. It is very similar in function to Tascam's cassette based Portastudio, although it never received that same designation. The mixer section sports 8 channels, 2 groups, an auxiliary loop, an effect loop, and "access" on each c...

  Yamaha MT4X - moosers

  

  The Yamaha MT4X is an old school, four track cassette recording device. Of course recorders like this are quite outdated at this point, but there's still a little bit of worth in this and even though they aren't highly sought after, there's still a number of these floating around. I'm not sure the year on the MT4X, but a good friend of mine st...

  Tascam Portastudio 424 - moosers

  

  The Tascam Portastudio 424 is a cassette based four track recorder and mixer.  Of course this is an older piece of technology, so I will review the unit based on what it is capable of doing, and not fault it for being a product of its time.  If you're looking to get into recording music, I would definitely recommend looking into a computer based...

  Tascam Portastudio 424 - spiritfingers

  

  I have used this Tascam cassette 4 track for over 4 years now. These machines are pretty out dated but I enjoy the simplicity of recording onto cassette tapes. You can buy cassettes at many stores making it easier than memory cards. and you are recording analog! I also use the machine to make mix tapes so I can listen to them in my car. So many ...

  Tascam Portastudio 414 MkII - FP User Reviews

  

  The features are pretty good. I havent used the effects channels yet, but it has a nice 'mini mixing board' with treble and bass. Four 1/4" jacks at the front, and two XLR's in the back. It can be tricky to work with, but understanding it isn't that hard once you get the hang of things. $68.00 USD I bought my first...

  Tascam 388 - keslo
  translatedImprove this translation

  I got it in hand for six months. I sold it for a Tascam M50 and frankly I would not! I tried a few analog console in search of a special sound is a vintage soul / jazz production hiphop / rap and this one to sound really special. The EQ gives a soul to the drums and bass in particular. I imagine the duo Tascam388/MPC60. <br...
