Using a Tascam 788 recording workstation
Posted by: garyi on 15 November 2003
Guys I am looking for some real worl experience of using this product.
Its basically an 8 track recorder with a harddrive.
What I need to know is can it be connected to a computer for monitoring and mixing purposes.
It has midi in and midi out. What other kit would I need to connect this to a computer?
How would the interface behave, what software would I need to see the tascam on the screen, or does it only work the other way, i.e. putting stuff onto the tascam?
As you can see I don't have even a single clue. My step dad has got one for his birthday, and bless him he has even less of an idea.
I am guessing that if he wishes to use a computer withj it he will need a new one, the one he has here is ark material.
Could this tascam be used with a Mac? If not what would be a minimum spec computer, and what software/hardware requirements for the midi.
Cheers guys.
On the inputs and outputs, it has a scsi port for connect cdr etc
Midi in and out (5 pin)
audio out (phono)
Digital out (phono)
INputs, lots of them for instruments etc.
