Hello,... Your portastudio comparison post is great. A valuable resource.
Yeah. It cracks me up sometimes, when (lots of) people tend to say, "Eh, I had a Tascam 4-track of some sort, and it was sorta crappy,"... when there was such a vast and broad range of Tascam Portastudios, from the very low end to the very high end. I mean,... did you have a Porta 02 or a 244? Was it an MF-P01 or a 424mkIII?
A Porta 05 or a 246? There's a huge difference between the low-end and high-end Portastudios, that it's very hard to generalize about them. Sometimes, I'm sure when people refer to 4-trackers, many of them may often be talking about Fostex cassette multitrackers, which is another post on it's own!
I could go,...
-"blabblabblab- get this four track or that four track", endlessly, but would it really mean anything? Like,...
"this one has this many features and that on has that many",... but by laying out the features, and putting them all in a line with accompanying pics really tells the whole story, and helps clarify the issue to many people.
Hey, I'd talk about this stuff even if they didn't pay me!
