I have been asking myself this very question for a few years now. I have used it a dozen times since then. I really don't want to have to go and archive every silly night and friendly arguement I have captured to tape.
...oh yeah and then there's all that music....eww.

No, that's not it at all...I am so ashamed for you.

The answer is 43.

Where are these Mackie bashers? Here on this site?
Mackies are fine. I've never heard a mackie that sums worse than my computer or an standalone DAW...and those even sound fine.

I know, what the hell? Are they mad at me?

Holy hell!

Are you selling all those models??

Yeah, should be the same...no problem!

There is a serial number tag that needs to be removed, slide it out. Under it there is a small screw, remove it an carefully pull the XLR connector out.

I like those 388s.

TASCAM M600

That should be fine as your stereo likes a line level of -10 as well.

This is probably not what you are looking for but I suggest a minidisc recorder. They don't have phantom power but you can pick up a nice little stereo mic for them. The sound quality is at least as good as cassette and the thing is small. I would suggest this for a sketchpad or rehersal notebook bu...

I got so pissed at Lexicon over this crappy system. A friend and I put together a system specifically on the recommended hardware and it wouldn't work no matter what. I tried it in every computer I could get my hands on (4) but each had it's own unique difficulties. It is now sitting in a box....gre...

If you want it to sound rock go with tape.
Get an 8 track or a one inch 16 track and never think about a DAW again.


...Until mastering.

If it were me I'd get a few colored permanent pens and make a huge logo or something on one. I would probably use another to collect autographs or something.

..Yeah, I'm high class.

Try to mix in a few tracks of rapidly picked strings. I would do that and add a chorus while fading it in and out to mimic the dynamic changes of the song. Try a couple strings in the octave above and below while muting the lower octave strings a bit. Maybe do those parts at double the speed of the ...
