Hey compadres, King of the Mountains, etc.:]
Dats a nice discussion of the DAT. I never bought one but had it on my mind until all those CD burners came out; I didn't buy one of those either because I bought
the Yamaha AW 2816.
This will put my MD8 into retirement. As mentioned, the MD8 is a big step up from plain cassette tape.
But, the 2816 has 24 bit sound, 32 bit DSP, built-in effects, [don't know how good they are as I don't have the unit yet] and 16 tracks to play with. I don't know how many tracks the unit records at once but I'm guessing at least 8 which is more than I need for my purposes at this time.
When finished with the cut, the unit mixes right down to CD, all in one nice little box.
I read good reviews about the bigger more expensive Yamaha unit, the 4416 I think -- but the 2816 is half the price.
So, enjoy your DAT because dats what you wanted. Next time, think in 24 bit sound.
