I've been using a TASCAM 4 - track and Cakewalk Pro Audio for the last number of years to do my home recording. I varied between using two techniques to do all my recording. The first technique used the TASCAM when the number of instruments was small, and then I transferred the tape recording to pc using a single Pro Audio channel. So the entire mix was on one channel. The second method involved using the PC only when the number of instruments got too large - the disadvantage of this technique is the likelihood of a PC crash as the number of instruments gets too large increases dramatically. Here's my question after the long rambling intro.... I am looking to upgrade and buy an 8-16 track digital home recording studio. The only thing I want to end up using the PC for is the final mix where I want to splice and add effects at certain places in the recording. Hence I want the external hardware to be the workhorse as it were. I want to avoid using tape and am looking for something with a substantial storage size. With so many models on the market I need some advice on what is "good" and what is not. So any recommendations (assuming you've read this far) would be most welcome.
