Hi, I've seen some other threads on similar topics, but I have a more specific question. That is, will a Tascam M-208 work as a good mixer for the Otari MX5050? I picked up the Otari a few years ago--it was a great deal. But, I haven't used it at all. I'm looking into trying it out. I've been holding out for a Sound Workshop 1280 or Tascam M-308, but haven't seen those available. I'm wondering if the M-208 sounds good and would work with the Otari. I really am a newbie at this stuff--just gotten and read some advice here and there. I'd love to just have a simple 8-track tape recording setup at home, although I know it's easy for stuff to get broken and not work. Still, I have the Otari, so I'd like to try my hand at it. Thank you for your help in advance!
