I just dug out my old Tascam 112 cassette recorder that's been sitting in the store which I bought in the mid 90s - and I've done a comparison between something recorded in my DAW at 48K, 32 bit floating point, then this file re-imported as a 320 MP3, and then the .wav recorded onto the Tascam, reimported back to the DAW.

Im no stranger to recording, Ive been recording on my computer for years. Im interested in diving into the realm of analog. Whats a good brand to look for on ebay or something?

I want to get some recording device for my birthday, but don't want my sisters to spend too much money. I'm don't really care as long as it sounds passable for a demo.

Would there be some way for me to hook up two 4-tracks ($160) instead of one 8-track digital recorder ($260), or would you think the difference in audio quality from cassette to CD-quality not be worth it?

greetings

i used to have a little Sony walkman type cassette recorder with a built in mic...

just for the heck of it, and to keep some kind of lo-fi analog recorder option in my backpack, i want a cassette recorder that can power one of those little stereo electret condenser mics...

any suggestions please?

respect,

Hello,

We've been using a Marantz PMD201 Portable Cassette Recorder for recording lectures and we've had some problems with the machine recording a little slow - about 3% slow.

Hello,

First, I'm a recording newbie and humbly bow to the experts who will read this post. I'll probably use wrong terminology for some of this, so please bear with me.

I'm trying to find the best tape recorder (cassette recorder) for recording voice audio (without breaking the bank!).
