everything i've read on the 2488 indicates that it is NOT compatible with the 788. if this is true, it is most unfortunate for 788 owners. i suppose a "work-a-round" would be to send tracks "two-at-a-time" out of the 788's digital output and into the 2488's digital input. the 2488 is (without a...

it looks AWESOME! 24 full-size automated faders (bye-bye "bank switching")!! lots of dedicated knobs and buttons as well. a very impressive looking piece! cheers!:)

hey leaf-colored super hero:D , are you using the RNC for a "particular" purpose?? i've been looking for a compact compressor to use on BOTH vocals and acoustic guitar. ALSO,..is the RNC a STEREO IN/STEREO OUT unit?? many humble thanks. cheers

it's in the way that you use it ALL good points on a tired subject. some musicians and engineers have the gift for squeezing fine wine out of an old turnip. others have trouble parking a Volkswagen Beetle in an aircraft hanger. lame analagies (i know;) ) but it's up to the INDIVIDUAL to...

the 2488 has not been released yet (due in a few weeks, i believe). from all appearances it "seems" to be VERY similar to the 788,..the OBVIOUS upgrades being the increased track count, on-board cd burner & tone-generator as well as the USB port and digital input. the layout and functionality...

it is my hope that i will be able to buy a STUDER 2" 24-track for less than $500 by years end. where's my medication. :D

baked per philboyd studge hey philboyd, funny you should mention that. i read an article recently where an artist "unearthed" a bunch of home recordings he'd tracked on a Teac 3340 (or something similar). the tapes had been stored in a shoebox for some 20-odd years and were in bad shape...

it "looks" like: 12 MONO faders (tracks 1-12, obviously) 6 STEREO faders (tracks 13/14, 15/16, 17/18, 19/20, 21/22, 23/24) 1 ADDITIONAL fader (which "appears" to be dedicated to FX returns or perhaps the onboard tone module) and.......... 1 MASTER fader i sure wish it had a few dedicated...

the announcement (by Tascam) of ANY new "Portastudio-type" product kinda caught me off guard. 24 tracks at 24 bits are nice specs (for the "estimated" price). interesting. i notice that SCENE AUTOMATION is "apparently" missing (AGAIN) . bummer. i also notice the lack of dedicated PAN/EQ knobs...

check it out (look for the 2488 header to the left): http://www.tascam.com/index.php UNDER $1500??!!??!! what the!!!?? :D :D :cool:

thanks, gang. i'm gonna call my Pops and ask him which model he has (he's used it for 15-20 years probably,..or thereabouts). i think the 22-2 may be the way to go, however. it looks solid and i like the VU meters. i DID find a pic of the Nagra and i must confess it looks pretty slick: it's...

looking for something a bit more "robust" than "STEREO CASSETTE" to mix down to. my dad has an old Realistic (Radio Shack?) RTR that he uses to record alot of choral and small symphonic projects with and the results ALWAYS prove to be quite impressive. i'd like to find a similar unit, as compact...

thanks for the responses, gang. it seems that the Fostex 3180 might be the most affordable unit of the bunch. i might give it a try. the other units have some built in eq and limiting but i can ALWAYS run it (the Fostex) through my old Mackie and tweak the eq as needed (and patch in a...

i agree with The Ghost on this one. from a compression standpoint the 3630 works pretty well (i also have a little NANO compresser that i use for a lot of things). the "gate" on the 3630 chatters like those "wind-up" Halloween dentures that clippity-clop all over the table-top, however. use it...

i've been scouring eBay for such an animal. i've seen the following (which i find quite interesting): Fostex 3180 Furman RV-2 Master Room Stereo reverb (forget the model,..XL-305????) Orban stereo reverb (111-B,.i think?) i have an "all-analog" project i'm working on (via my beloved Tascam...

may your magnetic particles disperse themselves in such a fashion that tape saturation is justly achieved and mankind is bathed in the warmth of your backlit vacuum meters. happy holidays (he echoed) and may SPRING bring you a new lease on life (he reverberated)! cheers!

Re: Why I like mine i'm with you AEL. i "coughed" right after i bought the Masterlink but i use it so much now that i consider it indispensible. i often record entire broadcasts of Echoes or Hearts Of Space from NPR. i've duped alot of old cassettes and vinyl via the ML. i mix down/archive...

hey, that's cool!! i had the ORIGINAL Quadrasynth piano and had Alesis UPGRADE it to the PLUS "specs". i really liked that keyboard! it had great action (for me) and looked quite futuristic. i ended up trading it for the S4 Plus module (same sound engine in a rack-mount) and a compact Fatar...

digital sucks???? i wouldn't say that. digital technology is a wonderful thing. sure, i LOVE the warm sound of analog tape and the rich sound of vinyl records (sans the scratching and popping :) ) as much as anyone, but i certainly would never restrict myself to an ALL-ANALOG format (ALL the...

amen to that!
