Curious by the way, i understand the aux rcv and aux sends can send effects to your tracks, what would i even use to achieve that? its like an RCA input? it confuses me.

[toonmunger]

@Tonycpope You need a stereo RCA Phono to mono jack cord or use a jack to phono "Y" adaptor. If your effect unit is stereo then 2 single RCA to jack cords will do the job.

Hey! I just bought a mint condition TEAC 144. Awesome!

[toonmunger]

@spiderprint Awesome indeed, they are great machines. Originally retailed at £480. If you're into experimenting with sounds a good one is to flip the tape and record some parts that will come out backwards when you turn the tape back over. Works very nicely for shakers or tamborine.

[User846]

and how did you get the drum sounds

[toonmunger]

@User846 - Hey 846, you're making me think and I quite like thinking. I'm sure I used a Roland TR808 drum machine on this. I had the rim-shot sound playing the same pattern as the bass drum. For a bit of extra trivia, the mike used for the vocal was a Beyer Soundstar Mk2.

[Tonycpope]

I ALSO just got my hands on one of these suckers a couple months ago. practically brand new. soo classic, nothing can top that analog hiss, sonically imperfect but its beyond an amazing sound.

[spiderprint]

@toonmunger Yeah,i used to do that with an old fostex ... Any tips on what keep an eye regarding maintenance of the TEAC 144? I have a hard time finding any sites with good info on these types of machines when it comes to keeping them in shape.

[Geritopia]

I had one of these and wound up replacing about 3 heads through the course of its life. It was the FIRST portastudio and was a very important tool for me just at the right time. I quite enjoyed the varispeed and the ability to flip the cassette over for backwards recording and manipulation.

[toonmunger]

@User846 I think that was one ot the inbuilt sounds on a Yamaha CX5 music computer that I used to work with. Very primitive but you could plug a keyboard into it and play it's internal soundbank. I think most of the sounds were the same as on the DX7 keyboard.
