Tascam 2488 mkII Multitrack Digital Recorder

The Tascam 2488 mkII is the follow-up to the best-selling, simple-to-use 24-track recording and mixing workstation for home studios.
Like the original 2488, eight inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and 1/4 inch inputs. 19 physical faders control the mixdown channels, and each channel has 3-band EQ and access to three built-in effects processors. The built-in CD-RW drive can record the master mix in addition to backing up the hard drive and importing WAV files. New features include a larger hard drive, new LCD display, new guitar effects and improved CD mastering capabilities.

The 2488mkII adds an 80GB hard drive, double the size of the previous version. Improved guitar overdrive effects have been added, and the Slow-Speed Audition feature from TASCAM's line of CD Trainers is included for learning new music. A large, bright display makes the unit even easier to use, and new CD mastering features include defining tracks in a live recording and a faster CD burner.

Overall:

QUALITY:
the product is made ok, nothing to brag about

FEATURES:
The onboard effects are crappy. most all of them have a background hissing noise that you can clearly hear on your recordings. I plugged in my effects processor and the effects for it were top quality. Strongly recommend that you do not use the onboart effects.

EASE OF USE:
I have to say that it is easy to use. I called product support 3 times today. and they are easy to deal with also.

VALUE:
My 299 dollar zoom MRS8 had more track editing features than this does.

SOUND:
The sound is crystal clear. Unless you use the onboard digital effects. Then you have a bad hissing sound. The hisses do not match either, so you can tell on your final audio.

Subject:AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quality: It is a great product when i went looking for a multi-track recording studio i knew where to go. Tascam. I have never had a problem with it once so ever, its perfect for home recording to advanced recording.
Features: At first i thought it was a bit complicating, but after i just dove into it using the manual as guide, it was very very very east to use.
Ease of Use: At first i did struggle a little bit with all of the features because they're so many ha ha. But after I dove into it and just started having fun with it, it is a breeze. I could'nt be happier.
Sound: It has captured everthing i have thrown at it with fantastic quality. I mean 24 bit,24track . . . that says it in itself.
Reliability: Ive keeped it on for hours upon hours at a time and with no issues.
Overall: I recommend this 24 track to anyone that is looking for a Super-quality, reliable, and fun to use recorder. When i cut my first demo with it. We sat back and were impressed that what we were hearing wasn't recorded in a studio but my basement.
