Is it true about the Tascam bbs forum?

North to Olaska?

Observation 1: There are ten times more TASCAM home analog recorders than all the other pro machines lumped together.
2: TASCAM no longer cares about analog. Sales died eons ago.

Your argument is very weak at best.

For one, Tascam has the most extensive parts support for legacy products of anyone I know. When/if the source for a popular part dries up they still actively seek replacements.

And no, FM’s arguments aren’t week. You just like to say stuff like that because it sounds intelligent (to you).

However, yours are consistently ill-conceived and rather sophomoric in nature. Your assessments show poor comprehension. You’re dated in your perception of the state of analog recording, unteachable -- unmoved by the facts.

Frankly, your posts make me sick with embarrassment for you. Unfortunately you don’t seem to have the sense to feel embarrassed for yourself. You’re in a bit over your head. No one here buys your baloney except you.

You have no credibility whatsoever as a source of experiential knowledge… that much is clear.

Success at faking it requires a gullible audience – an element you don’t have here. You are mistaken if you think you can slip in under the radar and unload your bullshit here. Perhaps the title "Home Recording" has confused you.

If you have any vital signs at all you should be having an "oh my god, what I'm I doing here" self-realization about now. Of course that should have happened long ago.

No, no... don't bother to try to save face. Your replies only sound good in your head, but look rather silly to the rest of us.

We don’t all agree on every detail, but we do all know what we’re talking about. Before you fall into the know-what-I’m-talking-about category you need to spend some time with the fundamentals… say about five years.

See you then...

I just thought I'd pop into a different forum and see whats going on.
In 1970 my band was playing in Japan and we did a TV commercial for the Teac corporation with Muhamed Ali when he fought Mac Foster. Teac gave me the first 3340 that would be brought into the US in April 1970. That was the start of my studio. I had since grown, and have had many 2 inch 16 & 24tr machines. At the winter NAMM show in 1999 I bought the newly released Mackie HDR 2496, I wired it up to my Neve console and was blown away. With my 2 incher with 14 inch reels, it took a minute and a half to do a complete rewind. with my HDR I can accomplish the same thing in a blink of an eye. To edit a 2" required a splicing block that had several angles of cut available. (but-cut crossfade-cut) I've had this HDR for over six years now. It is used day in and day out. never had a problem and has been rock solid. About 2 months ago I had to remix a project that I did years ago on the two inch 24 tr. I ended up renting a Studer 2" 24 tr machine just like I used to have. I still had the snake with the Elco connectors on it to connect to my Neve. When I fired up the Studer, with this old project I did years ago, I melted. I thought to my self "how or why did I ever go to digital. The sound was so warm, smooth, almost liquid. I almost felt that going digital was a step backwards. After using the digi, for all these years, I had forgotten what I took for granted back then but with the demand today, I could never do it with analog. My HDR is completely compatable with Protools and with the FW drives in dock form, I am always sending and recieving them from all parts of the country. It's much cheaper to send these FW hard drive cassettes around than it is to send the musicians around. If I were to send a 2" around, the machines would have to be calibrated to the tape ie, tones. At the last AES show I saw that Quantegy is back in bussiness and due to the demand, there are two brand new analog tape manufactures. What I ended up doing is to transfer the analog to my HDR then mix and most of those analog artifacts were preserved
