The size difference is not that dramatic.
#Tascam 424 mkii overdubbing full
The 414mkII is meant to be a bit smaller & compact, while the 424mkII is meant to be more full featured. I think the difference in the sound quality you get between the 414mkii and 424mkII is that the 424mkII's EQ is 3-band with the mid band sweepable, which enables you to dial in the EQ sweet spot for each channel/instrument/input. The 424 gives a 5/6 and 7/8 inputs on separate TS 1/4" connectors which can be handy, but to get the 5/6 and 7/8 input pairs in stereo on the 414mkII requires an "insert" cable to put 2 inputs into the 1 TRS stereo jack for each pair. To me that's not a huge deal, but you can get longer cable runs with less noise using XLR-balanced cables. To get 4 XLR mic connectors into the 414mkII will require 2 adapters, which is not a huge problem, or just use 1/4" connected Hi-Z mics. The 424mkII inputs will accommodate 4 Low-Z mics on XLR connectors, and the 414mkII will accept only 2. users would be great.Īny recommendations to which tapes to use for a punchy compression-type (saturation)? Or just experiment.? The mixer/EQ on both the 414/424 - are these known to give a warm quality sounding output? I know this is a vague question, but any thoughts from exp. If so, this will be good as I can just replace my current (pooey) one and use this as my hardware EQ. Would I able to use the Tascam as a straight mixer in my audio chain? I mean without recording to tape. I don't care much for the functionality differences as they both have what I need in terms of that. I've read there isn't much difference between the two. I've had my eye on the 424 MKII for week or so, but since the 414 MKII seems to be a little more on the cheaper side I wanted some thoughts on the quality.Īre there any REAL quality differences? I'm after a WARM fat sound to my audio. I've been looking around this forum (and elsewhere) but still can't get clear enough answers to my questions.
