I just picked up my first reel-to-reel - a Tascam TSR-8 fully serviced. Now I'm looking into analog mixer to work with it.
I don't need anything too fancy. Right now I'm looking at the Tascam M-30 and the Fostex 450 because they're each $100 in my area's CL. I'm hoping to spend around $100 but up to $200 on a mixer. Which of these would you choose? Or is there another similarly priced board that would be better to look out for?
Ultimately I'm hoping to get these tracks to Pro Tools, which I was originally going to do using a friend's PreSonus digital rack interface, unless someone can recommend a great analog or digital 8-track interface (can be more than $200) that has usb or thunderbolt output that I can use for both the tracking and the digitization that will keep the warm analog sound.
What should I do?
