Why is my Tascam PORTASTUDIO 424 MKIII recording noisy audio?
If your Tascam Recording Equipment is recording noisy audio, ensure all mixer channel INPUT switches are in the OFF position, except for the ones you are actively using. Also, increase the volume faders of the instruments themselves. The 424 MKIII channel and master faders should not need to be at maximum levels at any time.
What to do if Tascam PORTASTUDIO 424 MKIII has incorrect tape sync?
If you are experiencing incorrect tape sync with your Tascam Recording Equipment, try re-recording sync tones by adjusting the MASTER fader between –10 to 0 dB on the track 4 meter.
How to prevent old tracks from recording with new material on Tascam PORTASTUDIO 424 MKIII Recording Equipment?
To prevent old tracks from being recorded along with new material on your Tascam Recording Equipment, use the TAPE CUE section instead of the main mixer for monitoring previous tracks.
