Hey guys, I found a tascam fw 1804 on craigslist. It has 4 mic pres. then 4 line ins. THEN ADAT. Lots of inputs. I'm not sure whether or not I should buy it. I got the price down to about $260. Here are some factors
-I have a mac
-I am running logic
-the thing is rackmountable, but I don't have a rack
-it's 12 FRIGGIN POUNDs (but I can deal with that) haha
Does anybody have any experience with these units? Especially with macs/logic? I would really appreciate some inputs!
by the way, the 4 mic pre's have a 1/4" input next to the mic input called an "insert" what exactly is that for? efx?
oh ! and another thing. There are two outs... I think. A headphone out on the front, and a stereo out on the back. If I wanted to record some drums so that the drummer could hear himself (with a click and what not) and I could hear him too, would he plug into the one of the stereo outs on the back... or would I have to use a splitter on headphone jack at the front?
