SP-FORUMS

so i recently picked up a tascam porta 02, and i've been pretty excited about recording through it. when i go to plug in headphones, however, i hear a bunch of fuzz that changes along with the volume knob. when i realized this, i tried plugging in the line out to my mixer instead, and noticed that ...

not to bump an old thread, but this started happening to me too as soon as i got my smartmedia. is this just a card issue?

all the cables came in for the mixer today, and it works really well with all my audio sources. only thing is that i'm kinda worried about running it for long periods of time since it runs my computer/all my other audio sources through it atm. anyone have experience with mixers and how long they can ...

was leaning that way already so i ended up picking up a xenyx 1202fx, hopefully it'll do what i need. always good to experiment with your setup i guess lol

so i've had a turntable and a tape deck on my desk for a while, but swapping all the wires in order to sample them or even just to listen to them is discouraging me from using them in my process. i've been looking into audio receivers/mixers to remedy this, but i'm kind of torn between the two.

my ...

You're better off buying the Roland Power supply as the cheaper replacements usually have these issues. You get what you pay for. So it'll be money well spent.

good point! on another note, i went to put batteries in to check if it was the machine or the cord, and it turns out my sp isn't ...

so i've been using a non-psb1u 9v power supply that was advertised as being suitable for 404's, and i've had no real issue with it besides a faint buzzing noise being heard when the 404 (og) is at louder volumes.

it sounds like this (featuring me fucking around with the volume knob)

thanks for the replies everyone. i just wanted to know if this was something that was commonly done, but you guys seem to be pretty well versed in it. i'll probably end up ordering some new pads pretty soon, thanks again.

so i got my 404 used a couple weeks back, and some of the pads on the left are pretty dull and unresponsive. i came across this video while looking for sp stuff on youtube and was wondering if any of you had tried to do this and what the process was like.

If the samples are in stereo it takes up 2 samples so the polyphony is reduced, cant remember how many samples you can have before it cuts off, I always just go to mono, or sometimes it can be the cf card needs formatting or is just a dud, hope this helps

Thanks, that clears things up. That's ...

Sorry if this question has already been asked before, but my 404og arrived today and i'm super excited to get into it. I chopped a sample (assigned to 4 pads) and a drum loop (assigned to 1 pad) and i was trying to resample them together, but as I go to play my second chop of the sample, the drum ...

Choose any one and learn everything you can about it. Print a physical copy of the manual. I just bought a 404og this week, transitioning from a 505 and having messed with the 404SX a buddy of mine had in college. I feel like 80% of the basic operating skills are transferable across all SP models ...

thanks for the advice! i was only really considering the 404sx because of it's supposed improvement to workflow, but if it's really not that big of a deal, i'd love to try to find a decently priced 303 somewhere. the 404og sounds interesting too, but i'm not too concerned with sample space as it is ...

sorry if this same issue has been posted about before, but i'm in the market for an SP (my first sampler), and was researching the different models and trying to decide on which one would suit me best. at this point, it's either between the 404sx and the 303. i'd love to pick up a 555 for that ill ...
