I am now interested in buying an 8 track tape and a mixer board.
I originally looked at the Fostex-80 and the Carvin 1688,
but I wanted to have SMPTE and with the Fostex 4050 , the
entire set-up would run well over $6k. Recently I visited
Sam Ash in NYC and the salesman showed me the Tascam STUDIO-8.
It has SMPTE and uses a 7" reel (set up in a cassette type
construction). It seems perfect. I want to know if anyone
out there has any experience with it (good and bad points)
and would I be better off with my original choice.
Thanks,
