But then I thought pretty much every cassette 4-track I ever used (as well as cassettes in general) were fairly awful, my recordings or anyone else's recordings.
Anyway, that's enough time OT. |
i'm just kind of appalled as to why anyone that doesn't even know what a 388 is would jump on a thread and start making remarks about this sort of stuff, when you don't even know what recorder is being discussed.
the use of cassettes is as valid as the use of whatever it is that you use to record. period.
there are several 4 track machines that are anything but awful, and the 688 (which i frankly doubt you've ever used) is the top of the line in terms of 8 track cassette recorders (not taking in consideration the 238, which again, i dunno why i'm even bothering mentioning since you probably never heard or used one).
you should also check out post #11 on this thread and realize that i answered your question a long time ago. the feeling i get is that you entered this thread on total ADD mode and started making remarks left and right without really knowing what you're talking about. of course that's what gearslutz is mostly all about, but i'll say something if i have anything to add to the discussion. you happen to be talking about several recorders that you know nothing about, and that i know plenty about.
the 688 is everything but a total piece of junk, but i'm not gonna argue about that with someone who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about and that has nothing to add but crappy opinions about gear he doesn't like but that he probably never used.
