Hey all,
Long story short, I've always been an analog guy. Fact is I'm a songwriter and only put on my producer and engineer hats because I have to, that's not to say I don't like recording, I love it, but I'm so wrapped up in songwriting I don't have the time or desire to learn the technical end of recording to the extent of most of you. I know nothing about digital recorders.
Here's what I'm looking for:
A stand alone digital recorder under $1,000 preferred
8 -to- 16 tracks
Dummy proof (no endlessly searching deeper and deeper menu's)
I presently record with a Tascam TSR-8 and even with my limited technical knowledge I'm able to produce some very high quality recordings. Can a digital recorder in my price range produce as good results or do I have to spend more?
Outside of sound quality my main requirement is EASE OF USE. I don't have time to take a course in engineering or study a manual for a month in order to operate a digital recorder.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks,
Edan
