Today I’m going to show you how to record a song on the Teac A3340 S four track tape recorder. There are a number of swtich configuruations that have to be set to in order to record in mulitrack sync mode, so that’s what we’re going to be working on today.
Let’s begin. I begin by patching my cables into the line ins and outpus of the the Recorder.
Now Let’s hook up the recorder to our console. I’m using the console sends to send signal to the tape machine, and the returns to monitor the playback from the machine. I’ll use the line in’s to patch in my drum tracks and synths into the console.
My main outputs, right and left will go into my 2 track master recorder. Since I’m using 10 and 1/2″ reels, I’ll need to install NAB Hub adapters. And now, the 1800 foot spool of tape. I’ll thread the tape. Now we need to rewind the tape before recording. I wanted to give everyone an Idea of how long it takes to rewind a spool of this tape, so I did it in real time. In fact, I only rewound it about half way.
To Record drums on tracks 1 and 3, we need to Arm the tracks and set the monitoring output to “Source.” Press record.
Ok, so we have drums, and we’ll come back and listen to the whole track after we’ve recorded all 4 tracks.
Now we need to get the machine back to it’s normal playback state before we choose another track to record to.
So, Disarm tracks 1 & 3, and set those outputs back to tape.
Now we need to arm the bass track, So arm track 4 four and set it to source. Now to hear the drums playback in synch with the new bass part we’re going to play, set tracks 1 & 3 to Sync.
Now record your bass part.
Ok bass is done, so disarm the bass track and set the bass output back to tape.
Let’s record a synth part. Arm Track 2 for and set it to source.
Set bass to Sync as well as the drums.
Record your synth. Since This is final track what you’re about hear next is the completed song mixed to my 2 track Digital master recorder. It’s quite loud so that you may hear the machine clearly, so turn down your volume if you’re using headphones.
