I did, out of the blue, with no experience past casette tape 4-tracks.

And now, four months later, my third song . . . willie billie bong

My only snit? when recording a track, if you hit STOP to redo the track, the machine has to record your error track in it's memory before you can return to the start point. An ABANDON LAST EFFORT button might be nice.
 
Im impressed specially for your first song recorded on this machine !! So man what about that error track thing? that doesnt sound to good to me !! Explain a lil further if you can are someone else please?:wtf:
 
No, no, no !!!

What I'm saying is this.

Say you RECORD a track, and do it wrong. You hit STOP. You hit REWIND . You hit RECORD again to re-record the track.

The machine will not REWIND, that is, go back to -zero-, until the SD card stores the data you just recorded.

Sure, it is a delay of eight or twelve seconds, but still, I want the machine to immediately be able to record, no waiting.
 
This might happen with DP24, SD card, but with NEO (hard disk) its no the case. You can even make takes looping the part you want and choose the best one take. I don't know if you can do it with DP-24.
 
Wow! The NEO again out-performs the DP-24. I've heard aboutthe benefits, but here's another.

Lucky you. When you're on a roll, and just want to get the track down, any pauses can break the push.

He bought a 2488 NEO. There's no delay, it uses a hard-drive.
 
Hi, this is my first post here. I'm a newbie not only at this forum, but also in home recording. I had a dark rock indie band in the 90's, but was mostly a punkish analog bass player. I have Tascam 2488 NEO now. I guess my question is how to record and sync on it my Alesis SR 18 drum machine. I saw in another discussion that it's hard to make Alesis SR 18 slave to TASCAM 2488 NEO clock sync and someone mentioned the use of Midiverb 2. Opinions anyone?

My current music style is somewhat still 90 's Euro indie, with steady rhythm for pleasurable car drive listening experience.
Thank you very much for at least reading this kinda long post. Cheers
