Porta 05

[MikeST]

Just purchased a tascam porta 05 off e-bay.

Wondered if its OK for a beginner. Didn't realize it was so old.
No manual either.

Anyone have any experience?

The Portastudio 05 should decent as a learning tool to get into the art of recording and can function a handy sketch pad device to get your ideas down quickly but, I wouldn't expect much from it in the way of true, high fidelity or as a substitute for a good reel to reel or digital work station.

Have fun with it and if the itch grows, consider stepping up to better gear.

Cheers!
