Just found my OLD MP-2 that I used to use with my DAT set-up....
Recently purchased a Tascam DR-60D and would like to use the MP-2 as the pre-amp......
Technically challenged ..........
Will take any advice to figure out how best to run this set-up.....
Appreciate the help!

IIRC and the inputs/outputs are the same as on the MixPre, it should be as simple as running a 1/8-inch stereo cable from the MP-2's "TAPE OUT" output into the "3-4" input on the DR-60D. Make sure the DR-60D's plugin power on channels 3-4 is off.

Thanks for the info.......
What if I was thinking of running Channels 1+2 AND 3+4 any suggestions???
Was gonna plug my XLR's into 1 + 2

The DR-60D is a 4-channel recorder so there shouldn't be any issue at all doing that. In the menu just set the deck so that all four channels are active. 1 and 2 have their own gain pots to adjust them individually, and 3&4 are treated as a stereo pair so there is a single pot to adjust their levels together. It's all in the manual. If need be, you can adjust 3&4 separately on the MP-2.

why?
Unless you want to run a comp and see if the outs/ins have any different sound I don't see what the point would be
I would also use the mp2 to adjust gain if need be

why?
Maybe he wants to do a 4-channel recording

why?
Maybe he wants to do a 4-channel recording
well of course BUT isn't the mp2 a 2 channel pre?
You would be recording the same thing on all 4 channels unless he has other gear not asked about in the original post
That's why I am asking. There is no benefit or reason to go go xlr and 1/8 unless there is other gear involved

That's what I figured you were planning, Keith. Have fun at the show. I'll be looking forward to you sending me the files. :)
