So I have found myself a sweet 424mkII for $100 and am gonna buy it soon. Got a few ?'s
1) Is there anything specific I should ask/look for before I make the purchase? The guy selling me it is an older man and a musician big in the local scene so he probably knows some stuff. Claims its barely used, but I am totally unaware about what to keep my eyes open for.. Please inform me so I don't get stuck with a piece of junk. Will post pics that he gives me when I get em...
2) What will I need to take my recordings to a DAW? Just a RCA cable?
3) I'm assuming mixing can either be done on the player OR on a DAW, right? In theory, I could solely use the 424 to record to, then take it all digital without losing any of that analog goodiness? I know the 424 has some EQ's and effects, but you don't necessarily have to do it all on there right?
3b) Will I lose any analog goodiness bringing it into a DAW?
