[rec.music.makers] Inexpensive Multitrack Recorders

apolivka@x102a.harris-atd.com (polivka al 60047) (07/11/90)

I recently posted a request to rec.music.makers for information
(features & price) on multitrack (4 or more tracks) recorders for
under $1,000.  I only got a couple of responses, so I'd appreciate any
more inputs that some of you might have.

Also, one of the responses mentioned that there is some sort of
problem with the Yamaha MT100 having to do with "feedback during
mixdown".  Can anyone fill me in on the details of this (exactly what
is the problem, how serious it is, and is there anyway to avoid it
e.g. via appropriate setting of levels, or something).

Lastly, I obtained an advertising data sheet on the Tascam Porta
Studio I and II.  It says that the Porta II only operates at 1 7/8 ips
(tape speed).  One of the responses to my posting said, however, that
it offers two speeds (presumably 3 3/4 ips as well).  Who is right (or
did the unit originally offer only 1 7/8 and later get upgraded to
have both speeds)?

Thanks,
Al
