Hello everyone!! I've got a 424 I got for CHRISTmas, and I feel it's all ready hindering me. I need at least 8 tracks, and almost all of them are digital (of which is cool with me :)). Does anyone have any comments on the 788? I'm thinking about upgrading within a few months (money is tight). I'm all ready sick of analog, plus I can get computer parts really, really cheap (hint..hard drives) because I am starting to build computers with my band mates soon (price lists for us are in the mail). If anyone could comment on this seemingly wonderful piece of equipment, I would be very grateful. I will probably post this twice, so look for it somewhere else, too. If you have any other suggestions on an 8 track (preferably digital) in the similar price range (around $800-$900 I think?), feel free to post it. Thanks in advance!!
 
I recently got an AKAI 12 track DAW used for $350. If you look around enough, (ebay maybe) you can find all kinds of cool stuff for cheap.


I checked out a 788 and it looked like a million bucks, but it actually costs about 1000 and I only had 500.
 
That sounds really cool....what I would love to do is get something I could record 8 tracks at a time with, that way I could record live, but I don't think my budget will allow it. Thanks for your reply. I'll be scouring ebay for different recorders now, hehe. Anyone else have anything to say? Thanks to all!!
