Hello! This here's my first post after a few months of lurking on this wonderful forum. I'm embarrassed to be so needy right off the bat, but also feel like I'm in good company!
Here's the situation:
I have a bunch (50+) of old four track tapes that were recorded 15-20 years ago with a Tascam Portastudio 414 mkII, and
am in the market for a four track to digitize this stack.
I'm leaning towards a Tascam 424 mkIII, but wonder if there's any issue with using a different machine to digitize than what I used to record. In this case it would be a kinda similar, but newer model.
If the answer to that is a "no", then my question becomes more general. Is there anything I should be looking out for while shopping for a four track that'll be used exclusively to digitize existing tapes? One that's particularly well-regarded for its output options, it's great EQ, for instance?
Thanks a bunch, and I look forward to more exploring in these vast forums!
