I really love the idea of working with tape. I am, however, coming to grips with the facts: i have neither the time, space, nor money to invest in an analog set up. I want a recorder that gets out of my way. I don't really want an all-in-one unit. I want to be able to use outboard effects, add new/different compressors, and use an analog mixer. So far I have found the Alesis ADAT HD24. It's a hard disk recorder that operates, basically, in the same capacity as a tape machine. It records. That's it. The Mackie is much the same. However....
I don't neccissarily need 24 tracks and these two machines seem a bit pricey. Can anyone recommend a machine with 8-16 tracks that works in the same vein as these two? Or maybe another 24 track recorder that is less expensive. Used is always an option for me. Thank you all so much.
