Peavey ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I may have the opportunity to pick up a Tascam 1/2" 8-track pretty cheap. I'm pretty happy recording with my DAW but I'm pretty curious about multitrack tape. Assuming the machine is in as good condition (low hours) as they say...
I'm worried about escalating gear needs.
For analog mixing I have only an Alesis Studio 24. Outboard pre is an Art Dual Tube MP. I have a couple outboard EQ's (Art Tube Eq's....I know, I know...). An old dbx dual compressor that gathers dust now that I have an RNC. Pretty minimal mics: a groove tubes 5sm, 2 Nady SCM900's, 2 AKG c1000s, 2 57's.
With this equiptment will I be able to do any justice to the 8-track?
I am crazy to concider tracking to tape then transfering to the DAW for effect processing and mixing?
Thankee, thankee.
