That SMART guy.
Yesterday it good in my head to look for a portable solution that allows recording more than 8 tracks at a time... (Not that I got money to buy that. First mics, some additional processing, and everything else, than maybe a major upgrade as this. In a year, maybe 2, or 3 or...)
So what I noticed is that there are not that many options; there is the Roland VS2480, very nice. The akai dps16 with 10 tracks, not enough. Then the akai dps24, with 20 tracks sim. recording. VERY nice... And the Yamaha AW4416, also very nice. And that's about it. There is offcourse also that tascam-alien-thing, but it's that ugly that I won't consider it.
Then there's the more expensive solution, standalone recorders and a seperate mixer. Still portable if you put it in a flightcase...
Am I overlooking some products? Or will I end up just getting another VS to hook up with my VS1880... (I think this would be the cheapest solution. Get a smaller used VS-station, and sync them. Comments on that? There's no word sync etc for these things. How bad is that?)
