+1 on the 488.

One more option, if you have access to a mixer, is a Tascam 238. It's a standalone 8 track cassette recorder.

(Here's my setup)

Just curious. Is that a side affect attributed to tinnitus?

Not quite sure how that makes any sense. Alright, I admit i didn't read all the way up to the refd pic. I too had received that catalog. It's a disturbing picture, and an incredibly strange one to use for selling instruments. The only humour I found was the sheer absurdity. At that point you read t...

I'm pretty sure I grabbed my current bottle at Longs. I would think any drugstore and probably large hardware store might carry it.

Did anybody save that EQ Pete Townshend article that was linked here awhile back? It's dead now, but fwiw he spoke to this topic a bit I believe.

(If not, I'll be in the back playing with my Tascam 424..)

When:before each session. What:use 99% anhydrous alcohol, as you don't want any water in it. (anhydrous means "without water") The side of q-tips, you don't need to scrub really hard. Clean the heads and as well as the tape path. As for the rubber pinchrollers, I just use a water wet qtip and scrub ...

Not trying to be snarky, but around here (sf bay area) there are always two or three 424's on craigslist every week or so. What's c-list like in Lake Wobegon?

Once in a blue moon recordist here. I recently had my Digi 002 modded just because as a recording enthusiast I wanted the clarity of the improved analog circuits and clock, and already having a 002 it was the biggest bang for the buck as I saw it.. I feed it my Hamptone jfet for color, and use the 0...
