Far far away from me! Good luck getting the thing running.

Thanks for posting the song. It sounds good! Unfortunately I don't have anything good to listen to it on with me right now. I'll give it a better listen later, but I can tell you now that it does sound a lot clearer. Of course, it's a lot less dense then the stuff I'm usually working with...

Where do you live, zorf?

That does help, thanks. I guess I did suspect that there wouldn't be much difference. Well, 'graininess' is my own imprecise term. I think what I'm talking about is the mid-range... Or the lack of lows and highs (or punchy lows and clear highs). I don't know, everything I do on the 488 sounds...

I have been using my old tascam 488 for many years now. I've been thinking about getting a four track, and I'd like to stick with tascam. I was wondering if there's any sonic differences between the older models (I was thinking about a 244) and the newer ones (I was thinking about the 424 mk I...

Man, I really wish I lived in CA so I could pick that up...

Just downloaded, too. THanks!

Holy crap! That sounds great. I've been using a 488 for years... I've been trying to go digital for a while now, but I've been afraid of making crisp lifeless recordings (I know I'm not skilled enough to get organic, etc., tones from digital, yet). Not to mention the financial investment. The...

Thanks for your input everyone. Now I just need to get an external drive. I'll report back on my progress with the inspire. yeah, I was pretty happy about getting the laptop. He recently bought a new mac for recording on the go (he has a desktop at home, too) and wanted to give the powerbook to...

For now I'll just use cubase LE that came with the inspire. The two preamp inputs are either xlr or instrument (1/4 inch), but not both at the same time. You also can't bypass those preamps if you wanted to use upgraded preamps. Inputs 3 and 4 are the rca jacks in the back (which you do need...

My recording projects are usually live drums (3-4 simultaneous tracks), plus 2-3 guitar overdubs, bass, and 2 vox tracks. I'm used to limiting myself to 8 tracks, so I'd probably be doing 8-10 total. I'm also used to do all the effects, etc. on the front end, so, aside from some eqing, I...

Thanks for the responses. So, it should work fine for recording and mixing down as long as I don't use many plugins, etc., yes? Well, I actually bought one of those cheapy presonus inspire boxes (presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=7[/url]) a while ago for a different laptop (long...

Hello all... Someone just gave me their old (2003) powerbook g4 with a 1 ghz processor and 1 gig ram. I've been using my <gasp> tascam 488 mkII for many many years and have held off on making the digital leap for financial reasons. I was wondering if any of you old timers used to use this...
