I'm a geezer, not really a newbie, except I'm about to become new to digital recording. Currently I use an old Tascam Porta Studio 488 tape machine. I want to step into the world of digital. Hoping for constructive gear suggestions or recommendations.
I'm looking for the turn-key one man band in the studio thing. My requirements are multi-track recording, mastering and CD creation. I also need percussion. A voice product with pitch correction, harmonizer and effects would also be helpful. Portability is important, so I'm not really looking at PC based software.
I like what I read about Boss' stand alone poducts. Both the 12 and 16 channel configurations. The 12 channel only allows 2 tracks to record at the same time which if fine for about 90% of my use.
I'm also looking at other stand alone products by Tascam and Yamaha which perhaps are better units, but they lack some of the rythym section and vocal effects.
One could argue I should go for the best recorder, then add outborad gear for the rythym section, voice or whatever.
Whew, a lot to consider. Any advice or product endoresements are welcome.
