That's what a pop filter is for.

At some points he sounds like Christopher Walken lol

[TerryBarkes]

How do you create a surround sound effect as in having one instrument coming out of your last speaker another one coming out your right speaker I been playing with my new toy here and having a difficult time with it. I've been reading the literature and the owners manual. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

[harlanjroberts]

@TerryBarkes ....select your track and hold down fader/pan button at same time, it will bring up a new screen use your arrow buttons to select on lcd screen ,jog wheel will controll where you want the sound to go on your monitors . i hope this helps. the manual sucks !

[Archeon666]

i cant get any of my tracks onto a cd or usb to computer... anyone help??

[MYAR15SaysImFree]

@Archeon666 did you premaster, set the outpoint and record it to master channel? to send it to usb you need to transfer the track file to the FAT partition first

[fatcatbuzz]

Does anyone know the how the sound quality differs from these units compared to computer based program such as Protools? Is there a noticable difference? I only ask because the sampling rate is a little lower on these machines. But, I still have my cassette machines and am happy to use it, though I want to get into the digital realm. I have used Protool, but don't like mixing with a mouse (it is time consuming) and would rather use faders.

[madeyes4u]

@fatcatbuzz

Right! I hate mixing in Pro Tools.

Anyway, the sound quality is good, the sampling rate is at 44.1 but don't forget that you can always change that if you export the tracks into a program like Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar etc

[ajmelodic]

I have a demo on my page... it was recorded on the 2488neo Its the one that says original. It will give you an ideal of the sound quality

[joabi01]

friend recorded my band, I made a payment on a DVD that tascam 2488 dvd in the talks and put the music on cd longer even the dvd cd ... it does not have any way to over ride this work to put on cd? Forgive my English

[hueseph]

When you work with one of these all in one units you sacrifice usability for portability. You do all your editing on that 4 x 4 screen. There are menus to page through just to get the most basic editing done.

IMHO, you'd be better off with a decent interface and a good laptop with an external hard drive. If you are only recording yourself, you only need 1 or 2 inputs. Otherwise there are plenty of multi input interfaces. Editing in a comp is much easier.+tons of free/legal plugins fx and synth

[deadendkid1968]

Ive been online all over and Im thinking if getting the new black one...and none of the spec stuff says anything about the size of the HD? WTF.

[CrashBandits]

the HD on the 2488neo is 80 G.

[3Pitous]

@CrashBandits In .Spring I got mine with 160 GO

[irishjay33]

can drums be recorded really good on the 2488?

[punkrocker33446]

i use 8 mics for my band

[ohNOitzSnooze]

wtf are u trying to prove

[punkrocker33446]

i was just telling people so if they need any help they can ask me

[ohNOitzSnooze]

o, hahaha, k i was like... cool...

[postcardsoflife]

I use one of these for all my demo recording - check out my youtube channel. And yes, it does have a vocal compressor but I usually use a Focusrite optical compressor.

[thummpss]

is the dynamic button on the stereo. the same as a compressor? does it have a vocal compressor?

[oipthestampede]

Micing "drums" with one track? No, sir.

[mouloudo]

that's what some bands did in the late 60's and even now it doesn't sound to bad... Pink FLoyd for example, with one bog mike over the drum kit

[oipthestampede]

I listen to metal mostly and every metal recordist I've ever spoken to agrees you need at least a mic for the kick drum alone.

[mouloudo]

if you play metal you're totally right :-)

for a basic demo or pop"ish" songs it's ok

[blakhaus]

Just run another mixer for your drums and into the 2488 2 tracks for stereo.

[ocaenpaul]
