By the way, I am leaning towards a sony jh-24.
I have the money to do it now, so i am leaning towards it... I'm not worried about it being my cup of tea... It's always been my aspiration to have a machine.
I guess Im just gonna go for it.. But I am open to some more words of wisdom |
If your JH-24 has the red sockets in it... prepare for some fun. On top of a total recap, you're gonna need a little work on those sockets to get it reliable. The JH-24 seemed to sync up best as the "master" with a Protools setup. Really nice machine overall. I'd love to have one with an 8 track headstack on it.
If you haven't used tape a ton, and are wanting it but haven't heard it, then you don't really want it. It's like wanting some guitar because you think it will make you play better. It won't. It won't make your productions all of a sudden magical. If you REALLY need something tracked on tape, i'd say go to another studio and track it on tape, and then come back and finish up.
