I have a TASCAM CD_RW900MKII which I can not control the record speed. This TDK MUSIC !X-4X speed will be OK for the TASCAM to record or not ? Thanks

Yes, it should record fine. That 4x speed that's printed on the label means it can accommodate speeds up to 4 times. Actually, my Tascam recorder will only make copies at 2x speed and they are fine. I've used a good many of these TDK 4x CDs and have never had any trouble with any of them. Hope this proves helpful to you. Bob H.

The TDK music 1x-4x 80 min CD-RW works on my TASCAM CDRW 750. What is more important is what media that is allowed to be used. ALWAYS look for the symbol "Compact Disc" and under it is usually MUSIC or some other definition. This is important because I can't use CD that can only be used in a computer hard drive. Double check your user manual for the types that can be used in your machine. If you no longer have the manual, search for it on the web and download it. Should be free. My biggest problem finding usable disks has always been for that symbol, and unfortunately, some sellers do not show it or tell you that you can use it for recording music media.

The only high speed recording I've ever heard about is when two cassettes were used in a "high speed" and the time it took to dub one to the other would take less than half the time to record. This is what I know as "high speed" recording. Played back at normal speed would result in a "normal" speed of your recording. This machine I believe does not do "high" speed. (Unless I've overlooked something). In the event your recording sounds like "mickey mouse" then yes, there are programs to "slow" your recording down. I hope this helps. If it doesn't try to be more specific with your question. May I ask you a question? Are you talking about this unit recording at high speed? (I don't think it does, but the manual would tell you that). Are you talking about a cassette that sounds like "mickey mouse". You may want to convert it to "normal" speed before burning to CD. Again, hope this helps.

I never did get that crappy unit to work very well. VERY clunky, primitive interface. Just get Tascam's newer model, the GB-10. It is WAYY better.

Although I haven't specifically recorded cassette tapes to CD yet with this Tascam, it does have analog left and right audio inputs so it should definitely work. This recorder is really great with converting all formats to CD, and the CD's are then playable on all other machines. I'd totally recommend it!!

If you are using the drum samples that come included on the USB drive that ships with the unit, the answer is NO. Those are static drum samples at certain bpm time signatures that can only be imported. If however you are using the onboard drum machine on the unit, the answer is YES. It behaves very similar to a standalone drum machine like the alesis sr16, in that you can control the time signature and bpm for each drum track you create. Keep in mind that the drum sounds are "just ok", mothing really spectacularly professional sounding. But they sound alright when you process with onboard eq, compression and effects and if nothing else its great for scratch padding and laying down ideas. Hope that helps

Hi Ronald C. I actually purchased the device for my son who is heading down the path of music and production as a career. I just asked him the question and he is pretty sure that this can't be done using the Tascam device. There is probably a way to do it externally on a computer using some kind of adhoc software package, but unfortunately the Portastudio itself doesn't seem to have the capacity to do what you want. Sorry. Regards, Bill A

Well, I bought mine a few days ago and recorded some voice /guitar at home. The recorder was easy to use and the results sound clean. It is very easy to transfer into my Mac and to burn a CD. However my CD will not play in my Sony sound system and I was very disappointed to find that the CD is only usable in a computer. I am not at all tech savvy and at age 75, I probably never will be. I even put the wav files through a software that changed them to AIFF bu all I get is a loud buzz from my CD player. Does this sound right?

Hey Kelly, I have had a DP-008 for a while now, and it is a great device. Unfortunately I don't own a DP-02, so I can only go by what I've read and explain some key differences, which may or may not be helpful. The main difference between the devices is that the DP-008 uses SD memory cards, while the DP-02 records to an internal mechanical hard drive. With the SD cards, you can swap cards up to 32MB in and out of the unit. SD/SDHC cards are pretty standard, and you can use them in lots of different devices (digital cameras in particular. And most modern computers will have an SDHC slot, or you can get a USB-to-SDHC adapter for dirt cheap). With the DP-02, the hard drive is 40GB, and is not nearly as plug-and-play (you can hook up the device to your computer, but to say that it would be inconvenient to swap the drive in and out would be the understatement of the week). Plus the DP-008 runs on battery power for added portability. The caveat being that the power supply is sold separately, but it's not that expensive. The device works well on AA batteries, but for extended recording, invest in the adapter. Note that there is a newer TASCAM recorder -- the TASCAM DP-03 -- which is basically a DP-008 with extra bells and whistles. These include a built-in CD burner (along the lines of the DP-02), faders instead of knobs for track levels, compatibility with the TASCAM multi-function foot controller, and stereo (TRS) 1/4" inputs. (The DP-008 uses unbalanced TS connections on the 1/4" inputs, unless I am mistaken.) The DP-008 does not have a drum machine built-in. It does have a basic metronome, but that's as fancy as it gets in that respect. You can either hook up your standalone drum machine, or use computer software to lay out your rhythm and then record it using the DP. Hope this helps, and if you think of anything else you want to know, lay it on me and I'll help where I can.

You could mix to stereo on the unit and put the line out to the line in on a CD recorder, then play from the Tascam and record straight to CD. It wouldn't be a digital transfer though, and you'd need to manually define the tracks on the recorder.

I want to answer your question. However your question does not make much sense. I am unclear what you mean by Tascam DP. I also do not understand what this effects processor unit has to do with phantom power. If you could give me a little more information on what you are looking for I would love to try to help you...

I have cable and can record, but the playback on my has been a B---h, can't seem to get the speed of the recording to sync with the speed of the playback. Don't get what the problem is.....haven't figured it out!

I don't know. You may want to contact the friendly helpers at Tascam with that question. Have a great day!

It's not exactly like the Tascam 4 track, but still very easy to use and the recording quality is miles better. Go ahead and get one.

No this will not work. It is just for duplicating CD's.You need something like the TASCAM CC-222SLmkII . This sells for $599.00 on Amazon.Ther may be less expensive units on the market but be careful as some units record to cd or cassette from an external source but don't directly record from cassette to cd. (Rather strange) One unit would record from cd to cassette but not the other way. (Why would you want to do that?)

Mary, The X is the recording speed like two of the other commentators answered In my opinion either would work fine for you. Unless you are going to do some fancy stuff. The faster the X factor (if your PC and software can run that fast, the faster the system will burn your CD.) In my experience your software generally will adjust it to the proper speed. I have never had to set my recording speed on my software. It selects the proper speed for each burn and asks if it is okay. If you do get a bad burn it will tell you jack

It all depends on the software you use with it. It comes with a free version of Serrato that does not let you record your performance. You can update to the full version for a fee. I chose to purchase CrossDJ which has sampling ability and a LOT more.
