I wrote in a thread about my idea of sending my Fostex A2 tracks to my Roland VS-2000 digital recorder. Everything would be recording at the same time. (I.E. The A2 would be recording the original signal while the and the Roland would be recording the signal coming from the A2's RCA outs). I liked the idea for two reasons.

(1) I thought I could punch in more precisely using the Roland's punch in/out capabilities
(2) I thought I could turn my two track analog recorder into a twenty track machine.

The only downside I saw was that mixing and EQ would be digital instead of analog. Someone wrote back that it's not going to work because of synch problems. The Roland would be merely recording the non-tape sound coming out of the A2. To substitute the actual tape sound would create synch problems. I understand all this. But surely there's a way around the problem.
Anyone have any ideas.

Someone once mentioned a type of analog recorder to me where you could send out the actual tape recorded signal at the exact same time the tape recording is being made. Can anyone name the model(s)? I hope this thread is understandable to everyone. THANKS.
