i am currently recording on a tascam 688 cassette 8 track. although i love the way it sounds and i love its features, i dont know if i want to put anymore money into it (it is in need of some repair). since i'm finally making some money recording (woohoo!), i'm thinking about selling it and moving to a 16 track reel-reel set up.
if anyone could throw me some starting points such as which ones are good values and which ones are the mac-daddys... any machines i should steer clear of? is there anything i should know before moving to the world of reel-reel? is it really full of hidden costs? what about boards?
like i said i'm just looking for some starting points - i'm not sure what my budget will be yet (but i'm pretty sure a studer will be out of the question)
thanks a lot--
p.s. - anyone interested in a 688??
