I've been recording of my acoustic string music on and off for many years; originally with a TASCAM 788 and with a 2488 for the past ten years or so. Apparently, the CD burner function of the 2488 has failed, and I'm in a situation where I'd like to be using it a lot, recording demos for the country group I'm playing with. I've thought about going to a desktop based system at times, but it seemed like I'd have a whole lot of learning to do, and hardware to buy. I do have an eight year old iMac that's not being used, I'm in good shape for mics, and I have a two channel mic pre.
I'm leaning toward staying with TASCAM and buying a TASCAM DP-32SD for 500 bucks. I assume I won't have much to learn, as compared to my 2488, and having 8 mic pre's w/phantom power would be handy.
So, how does this sound to you experienced folk? I'm open to suggestions...
