Ok, so I visited the official TASCAM site.....

...... and my heart skipped a beat when I saw this [see attached image].

For a few seconds I thought, "hey, they're bringing back open reel decks!" but it seems it was only a cool image that they chose to sell their NAMM event. Nevertheless, it's interesting they chose 2" tape reels as a backdrop. Looks cool as hell.

Too bad they don't have a recorder to go with that picture! [Maybe it's in booth 514?!]

I did exactly the same thing yesterday...

It simply means that their entire product lineup is very boring

Supposedly Studer still trot out the A827s to attract people, even though they haven't been made for years...

If it's a plug-in I will go to the NAMM Show just to shoot the bastard in the booth. Otherwise I have no plans to attend NAMM this year.

Well, the show isn't for a few more days still so maybe they're going to make a surprise announcement?

Na!

Cheers!

And If I could get a change of venue for my trial to Lubbock, Texas the jury would be on my side.
