I bought a Tascam 424 mkIII a couple days ago. I just recieved it in the mail. However, I was doing a test recording to check levels, etc. When I go to playback, however... the output is extremely quiet. I've checked ALL outputs. It all does the same thing. I turned up the master to max. Then, I get a loud hiss signal along with what's on the tape, though it's really quiet. Anyone know what's up and how to fix it? I really need to know. I was in the process of recording an album, and now I can't.

You may have a bad impedance matching situation. Check the level at the headphone jack for starters. If that seems low, there is a problem with the playback amp, which may be the same as the record amp in that model, I'm not sure. The switching mechanism that flips the amp from record to play may be hanging up. Start with the headphones. If that's good, your impedance match is way off, or you simply are using a bad cable, as it feeds from the same amp as the outputs in most cases.

TASCAM 122 MKIII professional, rack mounted, 3 head cassette deck. Problem / no sound!

That is an electronics issue, so you need test equipment. You can look for disconnected wires from when you replaced the gear.

Tascam 424 mk 11 wont record but lights come on

These unit as small as they are have to be worked on by professionals that know how to fix them. So far as I know there is only me in Chicago and Russ in New Jersey that can repair them.
Without seeing the unit I can not tell you more about how to fix it.
It could be anything in the unit that has the problem.

I have a Tascam 424 mkIII that I just got in the mail today. Keep a long story short, the playback levels are really low in all outputs. I get a loud signal sound, though. What could it be? Keep in mind...

I have a TASCAM PortaStudio 424 mkiii 4-track tape recorder-mixer. When I record a new track and listen back to it, everything sounds great. After a couple times of listening to it, and overdubbing other...

It is probably a hard to find record electronics problem and possible that the record bias is staying on partially. This will erase partially the audio and apply the clicks. You are going to need a good Technician for this. Try this guy- I have confidence in him.

DP02- turning on an effect but not recording effect on track

You MIGHT try turning on the effect right after hitting record. It is possible that the record cancels the effects... I don't know if this is possible, but if it is, try it.

I can kind of see a technical reason they might do this.

Tascam 424 portastudio mkII power supply

My mistake this is a 424 mkIII not a mkII. Sorry for the typo. Great news is I opened the power supply case and un-soldered the fuse. cleaned it off with tarn-x and behold 3 amps 250 volts. Definatly worth the $1.00 im gonna have to pay for that. As for the **** that was gonna charge me a $100 bucks. There is a reason you are doing that to people. And one day your services will be obsolete.
