About the Tascam 2488 24-Bit 24-Track Digital Workstation
Twenty-five years after the first Portastudio comes the incredible 2488. It’s by far the most affordable 24-track recording and mixing workstation ever made for home studios — and the only model within 3X its price range that can truly run 24 tracks at 24-bits/ 44.1kHz. Eight inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and 1/4 in. inputs. Twenty physical faders control the mixdown channels; each channel has 3-band EQ and access to three built-in effects processors. A 40GB internal hard disk gives the user ample space for 20 to 30 24-track songs and virtual tracks for comping. Plus the 2488 has a USB 2.0 port for back-up via home computer.
Tascam 2488 24-Bit 24-Track Digital Workstation Reviews
Feature:
I'm glad it didn't require any "accessories".
Quality:
As far as quality is concerned, I havn't owned it long enough. Ask me in two or three more years. I would say not to mix any projects on it while wearing a wrist watch. You'll scratch the paint off the palm rest. (lower side corners) I would recommend NOT taking it to "the clubs".
Value:
BIG BANG for the "buck"! If you know what you're doing as a recordist and, you know what you want to hear, you will achieve results. Tascam has finally leveled the "playing field" for musicians W/out a major label recording contract.
Desirability:
It's pretty. I get a lot of girls hanging around it in my studio.
Sound:
I really love it now. Sounds smooth and silky when I want it to and bold and harsh if I need it to be. The glitch I had experienced with it misteriously dissapeared. THAT alone makes the unit sound great! Like anything new, it did take some time to get used to. However, I'm still experiencing nice sonic surprises at each level of recording.
Support:
Nobody home.
Overall:
For making music, I can't imagine making any improvements. Except, the paint finish and a larger hard drive for greater storage capacity. Maybe a 1/2 Hr. DVD to go along with the manual. I plan to use and care for this unit for perhaps 10 or 20 years.
