So I'm almost finished recording my first album, and am looking for a recorder to mix down to... It looks like I have two options:
1) get a 1/2" 2-track headstack for my tascam 38
2) get a 1/4" 2-track tape recorder
The second option would be about 100 dollars cheaper at current prices. Does anyone here have experience with both of these formats? Is the difference really that noticeable? Of course I'd love to make the comparison myself, but circumstances don't really permit it at the moment. Also consider that I am mixing down from 1/2" 8 track, so the 1/4" 2-track would already be a step up in terms of track width.
Peace,
Theo
