$450:
I've been wanting one of these for a long time, but could never find one cheap enough and in good condition. I found this at a local record store that sells used and refurbished stereo equipment a while back but couldn't afford it. I guess he still had it hanging around, and yesterday my wife asked me what 'mixer-thing that was at the music store' that I liked. We went and picked it up today
I still need to go through it fully, but from what I can tell it's working like it should. I have to admit to futzing with it for an hour, claiming that it wouldn't record. I finally pulled out the iPhone and did a search for "388 not recording" and found that I never had the inputs switched to RMX after recording a signal So, everything was cool after that. He was going to throw in a ProCo DI box with it "to boost my signal" but moron me saw this little Realistic mixer that I've been hunting down for a while for a specific purpose:
So I said "can you throw this in with the deal?" And he was like, "Instead of the DI box? Yeah sure no problem". Crap. Ok, well not a big deal. I needed the little line mixer more than the DI box at the moment, but still.
I'm going to go hunt down the manual for the 388. If anyone has any tips or tricks I should know about, please send them my way. I come from the Tascam 38 and have an M-308 mixer also, so I'm familiar with the setup, but the 38 has way too many issues at the moment.
Oh yeah, and my wife is cool.
