I thought it would be nice to open a new thread just to compare this two 8 tracks recorders from Tascam.
Sorry to be a pain, but in my endless quest for my first 8 track deck I've been offered a 388 (just when I've decided to buy the 38!)
I've got a M-208 (thanks to your help now I know how it can be used to record 8 tracks at once). So my two options are : m208+38 or a 388.
they are going to cost me about the same money (50 euros more the 388).
The 388 mixer looks very similar to theM-208...
This 38 apparently is in vg condition while the 388 has two 3 VU Bulbs not working the Capstan Belt needs to be replaced in a near future...
I'm interested in specs, difference in terms of sounds, etc but even more in your experience working them (I know some of you have an 388 and a 38).
Thanks
