I'm aware i send the audio to my interface, and from there, into the tascam. How will I know which channel it's being assigned to? Is there multiple inputs on the tascam, or something like that? Sorry for asking such basic questions.
you will run 1/4 inch outputs from your interface output (like the monitor speaker outs) into two of the inputs on the tascam.
It's kinda funny, cause back in 2001 I would have loved to have access to a system like Ableton live 8 and the sound quality, and really hated having to deal with the tape hiss .
it was kinda like back then how there was a clear sound difference between home recording and pro studio recording in the actual sound quality.
Now there isn't it is all on ther person using the tools.
I only used tascam 4 track because I did not have access to anything better and now that I have ableton 8 I would never choose to go use a tascam porta 414 again.
It's like driving a Chevrolet Chevette for years, then somehow getting a Chevrolet Corvette, Why would you ever want to go back to a "Chevette" by choice?
The tascam 4-track "tape" sound is NOT the vintage analogue "warmth" that you might be thinking.
It is just lesser quality with more noise than going all digital in 2010/2011
