I've been using the Tascam DA machines since the 88 first came out (about 15 years now), they are rock solid (yes there is something to be said for digital tape). I can not say the same thing for the computer. The downside of the DA machines is that, in today world, you have to transfer the audio to a computer back in the studio in real time. My desire to save a couple of hours in the studio has caused me to lug some extra gear to the gig. But it is also reasuring to know that, post converter, I have two independant recorders trying to capture that one time only event. Getting it right the first time is the only option. |
Plum, what audio interface are you using with the laptop? Max analog inputs?
Thanks
