Re: good lowend recording equipment??

My original post disappeared but I recommend and still use a Tascam 488 Mark II Analog cassette 8 tracker...Unless it absolutely has to be digital? I record onto my tracks,do my mixdown,and then send it to my computer and Guitar Tracks Pro...

This Tascam unit was one of the best before the digital craze began...I'd not part with mine! There are lots of these around if you look..

How about just a Tascam Portastudio 424 mk III, John? I've been thinking about snagging a used one up, and using it to lay down a few tracks. It'd be easy enough to transfer to my pc and edit there with software.

I tried using a Yamaha 4-track in the early eighties and had problems with
1) the tuning. Every track was apparently recording at a slightly different speed than the one before and after, and 2) the recording quality strated going downhill after two or three tracks.

It was a new machine so what was I doing wrong?

You didn't have it downloaded using software that's hooked up to a 20GB cpu processor, Bill....LOL!
