I recently got this. A great sounding, basics only cassette four track, and I believe the last cassette model Tascam made. I really like it's design, size and weight. Anyone else have one?

I have one on the way: Mine is not working (it does power on), otherwise, it appears to be in good shape. I have 6 other Portastudios (688, 424, 424mkII, 564, DP-01FX/CD, DP-004), and I always wanted a 144. It will take some work to restore, but it will be fun and totally worth it. :) The...

Above is my circa 1997 Tascam 564 MD Portastudio 564 with my producer, Mouse. The 564 is still an incredible multi-tracker and a seriously capable machine. It sports excellent digital sound quality and operates in a manner much like a cassette-based Portastudio. In 1996, the 564 was Tascam's...

I just won an apparently mint condition 424 mkII on eBay for less than $100 shipped! I am really looking forward to getting it and working with it, I've heard a lot of great things about the mkIIs. I'll post a mini review after I get it and test it out.

At present, I live in a two bedroom apartment with 24 guitars, 5 amps (3 of them half stacks), a slew of effects, mics and outboard gear, four Tascam recorders: DP-01FX/CD, 688, 564 and 424 and nearly 40 (mostly Apple Macintosh) computers. To say it's a bit tight would be an understatement. My...

I'll begin. As an owner of a DP-01FX/CD since August 2005 (I bought one the day they arrived in Austin) and a longtime Portastudio owner (688, 564, 424, PortaOne), I have enjoyed my DP-01FX/CD. It has some limitations, particularly the lack of inputs. I have solved that with a Behringer 1204...

I just quickly laid down this Buck Owens classic with my band using my Tascam 564 and Shure SM-48s and SM-57s and mastered to my PowerMac G4. I played my 2007 sunburst Highway One Tele through my VAmp 2 and my Marshall JCM DSL 2000 half stack. It's pretty different from the stuff that I...

I've wanted one of these for years (as have many, of course), the Neumann U 87, ever since getting ahold of Mark Lewisohn's awesome book, "The Beatles Recording Sessions". At around $3,000.00, I seriously doubt I'll ever get one, so I'm making do with my Shures. It would be interesting to plug...

I paid nearly $3,000 for my 688 new back in 1990, and it has served me incredibly well ever since. I have other Tascam recorders, including a new DP-01FX/CD, a Tascam MD PortaStudio 564 and a PortaStudio 424, all of which I have enjoyed using. However, I have enjoyed using my 688 more than...

I have only had my 564 for about a year, but it's really great! My other Tascams include a 688 I've had since 1990 and a 424 I've had since 1992. I began on a Porta One in 1988. All of these units have produced some really great sounding Rock 'n Roll tracks on cassette, CD and MP3! I have to say...
