The 2488mkII is the follow-up to the best-selling, simple-to-use 24-track recording and mixing workstation for home studios. Like its predecessor, 8 inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and 1/4 in. inputs -- enough for a whole band. 19 physical faders control mono and stereo channels without scrolling through pages for quick and easy mixing. Each channel has 3-band EQ with a parametric mid-band and access to three built-in effects processors, including reverb and multi-effects. Learn More...

Feature:
Coming from a DAW I was suprised to be able to add as many tracks as 24 with effects on a stand alone. The most useful features to me are the mic effects with available preset compression and reverb etc.....
The CD burner is a nice touch as i was determined to get a good premaster to a mastering house without using pro tools! It's me against the world.
Quality:
Take this toi a gig and you'll be the laughing stock of the city! It's not reliable. I'm on my second unit in less than 40 days and that too was shipped to the factory yesterday at my expense. It seems that if they do fix it the unit will spit out another bug in another couple of months.
Value:
It seems this product was rushed to the shelves. It's cheap and it acts that way.
Desirability:
It looks good to me. Easily integrated but boy I would be scared to take it on the road because it feels light and well.....plastic.
Sound:
Going with a 7 because the darn thing never worked long enough to get to mixdown ad premastering. The dry recording sounds good with a good signal to noise ratio but I'm no engineer.
Ease of Use:
The manualsucks. If you get the basics you can record immediatley the interface is simple but sometimes menus kick you right out to the home page vice the previous page when you want to back up and there you are going back through sub menus. It is extremely easy for me to get the sound I want.
Support:
I'm a pretty easy going guy. But had I showed how upset I was and I have the right to be I probably would have gotten a bad reception. Most people on the second unit and expecting a third in less than 40 days would ask WTF?
All that being said, the factory manager was a good guy and very attentive to my concerns. His receptionist is a (insert your favorite curse here)
Overall:
I will ride this thing until the warranty falls off and then I'll bury. I wouldn't even sell it to some poor kid with big dreams so he could hit this brick wall. I will never buy TASCAM again. I wish there were more reviews on the MK2 when I bought it. I chose this beacuse it has 24 tracks a decent effects section and the price point. If stolen I would pissed that I lost $800.00 but I'd be leieved that the headache was gone. I have this thing or two of them for what 35 days or so and it's been down for a weeki and I probably won't get it back for three more weeks!
