Welcome to the boards. Your question should be placed into a fourm that deals with the question. In this case Tascam or newbie. Here is the answer to your question...
Tascam 2488MKII mixing surface has all the amazing features as its predecessor the Tascam 2488, but with an 80 GB hard drive, an improved LED display, and a colorful user-friendly unit design! With the Tascam 2488MKII 24-Track Digital Recording Workstation you can record 8 inputs into the XLR and 1/4" inputs simultaneously. 20 physical faders control the mixdown channels, and each channel has 3-band EQ and access to 3 built-in effects processors. A built-in standard MIDI player and General MIDI sound module provide an additional stereo sound source for fuller arrangements. For the final mix, the built-in CD-RW drive can record the 2-track master mixdown in addition to backing up the hard drive and importing and exporting WAV files. A high-speed USB 2.0 jack connects to PC for data backup and SMF/WAV file transfer.
