I once asked a person on the Internet how to do something like this.. The answer was that he had been studying music production for many years and that if I wanted such information, I should take a course... people being people.. Thanks for making a difference and show how it is done, this video has a great value my friend! THANK YOU

That's basically a way of saying "I don't know" without actually saying it.

@kc_collins Год назад

Thank you so much for this video! I've been interested in doing this for a while and you got me sold on the idea! Soo helpful.

Nicely done video. 4 tracks are fun to work with

I have an old Tascam (first recording device I ever bought back in the 90's) to connect to my DAW and dump of a bunch of old recordings. This will be fun to try as well. Thanks!

Hello from Italy, I have exactly your equipment, except for 4 tk recorder (i've aTascam 424 Portastudio) In my humble opinion, it would have been better to set the pitch control at max tape speed ... anyway great job!! 👍👍🙂 p.s. thanks for sharing and subscribed to your channel

@louissmeeton7258 Год назад

if i’d like to just record drums from my DAW into track 1 of the portastudio, am i able to do this with just the headphone output of my SSL 2 interface? or do i require more outputs ?

@MrHhkrohn Год назад

Thanx for the video. I think it can help. I have a scarlett 2n2 only 2 inputs. Dont have a mixer. I found when connecting the scarlet to my fostex it produces a lot of noise... I'm using my headphones on the scarlet do I need an DI maybe? Thanx

@talenjay1 Год назад

DO I need the AM240 or can I bypass it and use only the Tascam for mixing?

@topa1798 2 года назад

Hi,im cant sync my acoustic drum,electric guitar tape with my DAW click,can i record my acoustic Drum with my tape recorder and dump into DAW align with DAW click using MOTU midi express xt or MOTU micro express using SMPTE? I dont use midi instrument

@daniel_mana Год назад

very cool video. !!! I am going to buy a yamaha mt100 tape recorder That I want to use to record, mix down and then send the stereo output to the daw. The Yamaha mt100 doesn't have an eq so I was thinking to get a mixer too, how would you route the signal? synths direct into the mixer and then into the recorder or synths direct into the recorder and then into the mixer using the recorder tape outs and then from the mixer stereo out into the daw? Thanks in advance for your reply!

@lyobeats6210 6 месяцев назад

Can i use also headphones instead of the monitors on the tascam ?

@_mind_drifter_6483 Год назад

Can you overdub with that last configuration?

@VitorLA-nz8de Год назад

The behringer umc404 has 4 outputs right?

@CIRCUITRYCREW Год назад

@helluvakhai 2 года назад

Is it possible to route each stem from daw out to individual rca outputs on the back of the interface?

@InspiringTracks 2 года назад

It depends on the interface and how many individual output it has. For this application you need at least 4 outputs available

@UrazGrassia 2 года назад

A question. Why don't you use the 4 output behind the Scarlett for recording from DAW to tape? But you use the two headphone output instead?

@InspiringTracks 2 года назад

This particular interface only has 2 outs on the back where I have plugged the monitors. If I want to use additional outputs the only option are the HP ones on the front.

@UrazGrassia 2 года назад

@@InspiringTracks i' m asking because i have to buy the same setup. Tascam + 8i8 . And in the photo on Amazon i saw that Scarlett 8i8 have 4 trs input and 4 trs output behind. 🤔

@ME-ru4hv 2 года назад

nice work thanks. I have the black lion with 2 X 2 only. I could compose on the daw and bounce each track back and forth one by one right? using processors before and after tape. 👍 I think lol

@InspiringTracks 2 года назад

Thanks! Glad you liked the video! Sadly you only can bounce all 4 tracks simultaneously. The Cassette mechanism will slightly drift from it's rated speed with each play and you'll encounter sync issues bouncing 1 track at a time. It's the nature of the beast

@ME-ru4hv 2 года назад

@@InspiringTracks was worried you might say that. Appreciate it though

@jovatd 2 года назад

You could do some time stretching in your daw to align and sync your tracks.

@rosalinosanchez5568 Год назад

Thank you! Can you please help me by providing the names of all the equipment used. I’d like to put something together to help a friend record 8track cassettes. It make me happy to help him with this. Thank you!

@VitorLA-nz8de Год назад

Don’t get it.. you connect TWO cables in focusrite outputs (and the headphones outputs.. there’s no outputs in focusrite?) and FOUR in tascam input.. could someone explain? how did the daw recongized 4 tracks if there were only two cables in pc

@EredarLordJaraxxus 3 месяца назад

Headphone outputs are stereo. Headphone A L/R + B L/R = channels 1, 2, 3, 4

@visuify4084 3 года назад

is the same process with tascam porta02mkii?

@InspiringTracks 3 года назад

If I remember correctly the Porta02 don't have individual tape outputs and also can't record into 4 tracks simultaneously so it can be a little different and you may be somewhat limited but still is worth trying

@InspiringTracks 3 года назад

It will gonna take a while. I used as an example for that video the vocals of a song I mixed for a client using the porstastudio and I have to wait untill he releases it to not spoil it in any way. Hopefully it will be soon but IDK the exact date

@Hermit_ 2 года назад

Bye bye stereo information from individual tracks.

@InspiringTracks 2 года назад

This is up to you. The eternal problem with 4 track machines is stereo vs more tracks. You can record stereo drums but you have only 2 mono tracks left (or one stereo). Just one of several compromises of the medium (and part of the charm if you ask me) cheers!

@Hermit_ 2 года назад

@@InspiringTracks charming, yet not future proof. u can still use the portastudio instead of saturation FX though. bcus software saturation sucks.
