Hi, Rosemary!
Fill us in...which 24-track recorder did you end up getting? PT? RADAR? ADAT? Mackie?

so your done with all those transfers???

Ok

You will love the RADAR. I used one for several years with a big ol' Harrison board. I was very sorry when Otari stopped distributing them because I got very good service from them. You probably should be prepared to have a Fed-X Int'l account set up to deal with customs in a timely manner. I have had to do that with my daytime business (medical imaging) as I have several vendors "Up North" and Fed-X is much better to do that with than "Brown" is. They handle electronics nicer, too.
Anyway, I don't miss cleaning and tweaking the old MCI any more! Just the smell of hot brakes and arcing relays! Enjoy!
