How to record/duplicate with cassette deck
Hello, new to recording and I’m wondering how can I record stuff onto cassettes with this deck. Can I record stuff from A to B? Can I connect my computer or phone into MIC and record like that?

Wondering about the best way to sync midi from PC to a 4-track
I’m not a pro at this yet so this is probably lot simpler than I think. I’ve been looking at maybe getting an MTS-30 as a way to sync MIDI tracks from Ableton with other tracks on my 4-track, to get around the common issue of the tape not staying in perfect time. I’ve seen it work with standalone synths and drum machines, but will Ableton respond the same way if I use the midi jacks on my interface? Do I even need an MTS-30 (or any sync box) to achieve this, or is there a VST available for it now?

Setting up MTC in Logic to slave for my Tascam 424
Ok, so I have the entire set up to make this work (tascam 424, interface, Midiman, all the cables, etc.) and had it working in free version of Reaper before I got Logic Pro. I watched a detailed YouTube video how to hook it all up previously, but that video is no where to be found!
I can stripe the tape with the Midiman, but I’m trying to remember how set it up from a Midi Time Code/general settings standpoint in Reaper and translate that to Logic… anyone here experienced?

Tascam 246 for tracking with the Tascam Model 12 for mix down. I kinda think it’s the best of both worlds. Skip to 3:00 if you just want to hear the song.

Share Your Mixes
I still like making mix tapes as a hobby, and have been doing it since I was 12 in the 90's. Sometimes they're just a collection of whatever music I'm into at the moment (these are nice because they become time capsules later on) but often I like them to follow a certain theme. I generally record from CD's to cassettes, though I also make CD mixes.
An example: Where's God? A mix featuring songs about questioning religion.
