Tascam 424 mkii manual manual#

The above quotes are from the manual for the 424 MKII. The LINE OUTPUT jacks can also be used to send the mixer outputs of the 424 MKII to the sub inputs of a larger mixer.' The L and R jacks are typically connected to your 2-track master recorder at MIXDOWN. '.these jacks are the line-level outputs form the MASTER fader. The center pair of these RCA jacks are marked 'line output.' From the manual: '.these provide a line level version of the same signal that feeds the PHONES jack and may be connected to your control room speaker amplifier.' The right hand pair is marked 'monitor output'. The right-hand and center pair give you a stereo out mix. There are 6 RCA jacks grouped in pairs at the top of the machine. Use them if you want to mix the tape down with an external mixer or to make a backup copy of you rmaster 4-track onto another tape recorder.'

'.these jacks get signal directly from the tape (jack 1 from track 1, jack 2 from track 2, and so on). The four RCAs at the back of the 424 MKIIare direct outs, pre-anything. Hope this helps & good luck, and have some fun So if you can afford even some cheap ART or other similar preamps they can make a huge difference.ДЄnd one last thing, if you have an outboard mixer, a mackie or behringer or soundcraft etc., that's when you could use the 1/4' direct outs on the back of the 424 & send it to the outboard mixer for mixing (or to a computer interface, or whatever). I also remember getting some ART MP tube preamps & being amazed at the difference in sound quality. Like I said, it's been a while since I used it, but I do remember that I liked using the dbx noise reduction I thought it actually improved the dynamics. I would suggest trying to find a manual for the 424 if you don't have one its actually got a lot routing options & you can do a lot with it if you know how it works. It's been so long since I used it that I don't recall exactly how the monitor routing goes, I'd need to play w/ it for a bit to recall. What is coming out of the headphone or monitor jacks on the 424 are not necessarily what's coming out of the line out jacks. I would also suggest monitoring the from mixdown deck, not the 424 you'll be hearing what the mixdown deck is hearing. It sounds like you're mixing down to stereo, correct? You want to come out of the 424 using the 'line output' rca jacks on the top of the 424. Not really what I want to do This is not my first 4 track and I am not that daft but somehow I feel like I must be missing something.Its making me crazy!! Help me out!ДЄfter re-reading your post & checking out my 424 (and a night of music & libations), I think I can help. If something is broken I guess I will have to mix down from the headphone jack as a last resort. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. If I put all the faders down on the Tascam including the master I still get a signal in the monitors and on the mixdown deck, however my headphones are silent. The signal coming out of the mixdown deck and its monitors is just the original mix from the 4 track- no change in levels, paning, no eq possible. The problem is as follows: I cannot regulate the channel levels or the eq on the tracks going out from the RCA jacks in the back of the Tascam to my mixdown deck, however I can hear my changes (panning, eq, etc.) in my headphones.

I just bought a used Tascam 424 4- track which seemed to be working great up untill I tried to mix down my recording from the tascam to my mixdown deck.
