Multitrack Recorder Appreciation?

Hey Y'all.

Yes, I realize what decade it is but I can't let go of my multitrack recorder!

Over the last couple decades I've had a Boss BR-532, Boss BR-1600, and a Tascam MF-P01. I've been currently using a Tascam DP-01 the last 7 years. Primitive by todays standards sure, however they suite my musical needs (and budget) just fine. I just love the simplicity & fun these machines provide.

Show your multitrack recorders & share some love!

I still have a Tascam Porta 02. Love that thing. I don't use it much these days but it still works great. Such a different experience compared to these days. It's a beautiful thing to force ones ears (and mics!) rather than relying on visuals, plug-ins, etc. Getting harder to find tapes though...

I’m in a long term relationship with a Tasman 488mkii I can operate it with my eyes closed so I often get vocals takes in complete darkness.

Idk if you have one near you, but walgreens, rite-aid, and other drug stores seem to be the only place that sells them in my area.

Last time I stocked up it was at a Walgreens, irrc. It was a few years ago though. :unsure: Always seemed like my local stores would have them at time and other times there was like no sign of blank cassettes anywhere. Confused by the inconsistency. :D

I'm rather partial to the Studer A827.

I also quite like the Ampex MM1200, for different reasons
