tauzero Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I use a Tascam GB-10, though that's not exactly what you want as you transfer MP3s or WAV files to it. They do work well though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkyBarKid Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I have 5 pieces of tascam equipment including a BT10 and a GB10. All apart from one have failed. The one that hasn't failed doesn't get used. The headphone and input sockets are the main culprit - tascam won't repair them. Not a happy bunny. No more tascam equipment for me!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably one of the most important pieces of kit I own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 FWIW I still use mine as my practice setup. CBA with using the amp for practice. CBA with practice so the Sessioncake means it at least happens sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Hardly a Lazarus thread but worth reviving. My GB-10 still works just fine but it's a technology hangover from 15 years ago which brings all sorts of compatability issues. Half the tracks I want to play on it come up with Non-Supported and even after processing through both Reaper and Lame XP all too often I still can't get the MP3 to play. Getting bored now. I'll ask @Geek99's question again, but I have NO INTEREST in headphone amps. What I want is a modern product that will allow me to: change the key of the track I'm playing, adjust the tuning for when autotune has left the published MP3 30 cents away from concert pitch, loop a track or a section of a track, slow down a track without changing pitch. If it also has a tuner and a metronome then that's nice but I don't actually need those functions. If it's an app for my android phone then I can live with it but quite frankly I'd prefer a separate piece of kit. What I really want is a Tascam GB-10 designed in 2024 but that doesn't seem to exist. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Incidentally, the latest firmware update for the GB-10 is dated 1st Dec 2010 so that won't help. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audacity will do all of that - would a version of that loaded onto a tablet help? You'd need some doohickey to combine the signal from your bass and the mp3's but with a tablet, you'd get internet functionality too.

I already have Reaper, which will run (for a given value of "run") on Android but it ain't fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews are ... erm ... mixed (to put it politely) but it's a freebie so what have I got to lose?

If you create the audio tracks as either MP3, 32-320kbps, 44.1kHz or WAV, 16/24 bit, 44.1kHz, they'll play. I have no problem with mine. Edit to add: I use Audacity to adjust sample rates etc, and sometimes to adjust pitch at source so I can also use the track with Nux Mighty Plug or Boss Katana:Go.

I have a 12 year old GB10 that's been used almost daily since I bought it and which has been unceremoniously bundled into my hand luggage during travels in literally dozens of countries, and a 26 year old Tascam DAT deck that has led a less travelled life in its rack at home. Both still work perfectly, and on that basis I'd buy Tascam again. Indeed, it makes me wonder what you're doing that I'm not (or vice versa.) It shows how easily our perceptions are coloured by personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
