Hey great channel been following for a while. I bought a synchronizer a couple years ago and it's great except that if you record drums too hot it's easy to lose the sync pulse and you are f***ed bbbut... yeah you and chris lody are the few ones who covered this topic (at least that i've found). keep em coming!!
@@TheToiletZone666 it could be. I got myseld into this kind of machines like 2 years ago so i'm pretty new but that's what I found. They seem to be very sensible but i managed to sync my mpc and synths quite well. I think if you don't mind not being able to drive kicks too hot in the first take and you have other decks you can try to "saturate" the whole mix later. 🤟💪
Hello ! Can you please help me ? Can two 4-track portastudio style recorders be synched ? How about more than 2 ? I know from the manual they have SMPTE capabilities for synching with synths and drum machines. What kind of device will be required for the synching ? Thank you !
I think you can! If it's one that has a 'tape sync out,' you can get a tascam brand tape sync box that will do it. i don't know the model specifics, some of them can't do it, but the 688 can be synced to other 688s and i think some of the 4-tracks work the same. it might be hard to track down the tape sync box, is the only thing. if you want to get super lo-fi and old school, you could generate a tone with a sine wave through a whole track on each machine, then match the tone with pitch correction either digitally or manually with the pitch wheel. basically, look at some pics on ebay and figure out if the model you have/are looking to purchase has 'tape sync' written anywhere on it, then look for a manual .pdf to see if it can work w/ other machines or not.
nah i would say not, i learned to use one when i was in prolly 4th grade, the nice ones are a lil complicated but i think it's definitely got less of a learning curve than digital recording
bro thats a nice 4 track, are you sure its the motor and not just old rubber rings on the pullies? If the motor, maybe you can find one for parts and fix it.
u know, it could be, i'm way too stupid to fix a tape deck, literally destroyed two back in the day just by trying lolol. might fix it up someday but i don't really do enough 4-track recording atm to worry too much. the main issue w/ the 4-track isn't even the speed, it's that the auto-stop function tends to eat the tape 😥
Busting currently

@@jingerroot hmm might be a solid idea to invest in one of those tape sync boxes myself🤔🤔
