Apart fromn Radar, the only system I have used so far that has been 100% reliable is Soundscape, so when we do remotes, we reord on Radar and back-up on Soundscape (or the other way about, depending on the engineer).

It does not look as if we shall be changing this anytime soon!
IMHO Radar (as it currently is) doesn't really offer any real world advantage. Possibly the best thing about the Tascam is that it's a lot for your money. I would say that with things like Pyramix, possibly Sequioa/Samplitude and Nuendo there is becoming less and less reason for stand alone units. As for Soundscape I am unaware of it's current status since its aquisition by SSL. Are they still supporting it, providing updates or is the stripped out hardware all that remains?
