Hello everyone,
I have been reading as much of this forum as I can for the last month or so and have learned alot. Throughout all the things I have read a few questions arose.
I am looking for a reel to reel but am not sure what to buy. I can buy a Teac-3440S for 225 locally but for some reason have my heart set on A Tascam- 38 8 track. I want more than 4 tracks at a time.
I eventually would like to be able to track on the reel to reel and then dump the tracks into cubase sx3 ( I have a firepod right now as well). To do this I understand you need to lay down midi time code on one of the tracks? Would this take away one of my tracks? So if I got the 3440S I would only have 3 usable tracks? or the 38-8 only 7 usable tracks?
Also if I plan to dump the tracks into Cubase ( if this is possible) What is the purpose of a external mixer? this might seem like a silly question but will help me try to fit this puzzle together.
Last question, its a quickie, How much better of a machine is the TRS - 8 than the 38 - 8? Built in DBX is a plus but are there any other perks?
Thanks again for the help you guys have already given me, much appreciated.
