any user opinions on these? i haven't heard much talk about pros or cons of these boards because i guess not too many people use them. i have seen some going for fairly cheap used, though.
I have an old Tascam 2524 board. I can say the pre´s are OK but a little noisy and it only has unbalanced outs/ins (except the mic input), but it has good EQs and flexible routing.
Ive owned an Alesis studio 24 console for about a year and a half now. I mainly use it for recording in my project studio. Im not a pro or anything but it gets the job done and I haven't had any problems with it.
Like Jeronimo, I have a Tascam M2524 and I would agree with the assesment. A little noisy, but nice eq and routing. Most of my recording these days does not involve mic'ed tracks, so the pre-amps have become less of an issue. If I started doing a lot of acoustic tracks again, I would look into an outboard pre. Overall though, I've been very happy with the board.
