My set-ups are not so elaborate and are highly portable. We mainly record in our rehearsal room and I have 4 Tascam Portastudios. My main ones are my 1990 Tascam 688 Midistudio:
and my 1997 Tascam 564 MD Portastudio (below, with Mouse):
I also have a new Tascam DP-01FX/CD and a 1992 Tascam Portastudio 424. I master to one of my many (approximately 40!) Macs. Since all of my Tascam gear and outboard FX are portable, I use whatever I find appropriate for the situation. I began multi-track recording with a Tascam Porta One in January 1988, and I have always favored Tascam gear. I will add that I still prefer using these kind of multi-trackers (analog and digital) to other methods of recording, such as software-based recording. I have several really good programs, but I could never really get into recording with the computer. Odd, given that I am a huge computer hobbyist, and I love building and modding my computers. I do like mastering to the computer and burning finished CDs and making mp3s, however. I think that since I cut my teeth by recording with Portastudios, I simply feel more creative working in that realm. I am an "old school knob twiddler", I freely admit that. And I still like cassettes. Of course, I am aware of the inherent sonic limitations, but I have heard some amazing things done with them. My digital Tascam Portas are cool for me, because they offer digital quality audio with cassette Portastudio functionality. I did so much tracking in the '90s with my 688 and 424, I really have enjoyed working with those machines a lot. Which is what drew me to the 564 and the DP-01FX/CD. The recording process feels the same to me using those machines. And I am certain I would enjoy the new Tascam 2488 24 track recorder similarly, as well.
