Product Description

The 788 Digital Portastudio was designed to give you the latest in recording technological innovation while keeping the ease of use and superb value that's made Portastudios the best-selling multi-track recorders in the world. Its excellent audio quality and nonlinear editing capabilities make it perfectly applicable for even professional-quality recording projects. Plus, its built-in high-quality effects make it a totally self-contained digital studio...just hook up a CD burner to the SCSI port, and your album is ready to go.

The various inputs on the 788 can accept mic and line levels. An HiZ switch is also provided so you can plug your guitar or bass directly into the 788. Stereo outputs for mixing down, monitor outputs to send audio to your speakers and aux outputs are all included on individual connectors. Also, MIDI In and Out jacks are provided for syncing your audio tracks to synthesizer and software-based sequencers or other devices that use MIDI Time Code, MIDI Machine Control, and MIDI Clock. An S/PDIF digital output makes it easy to send your audio to CD and DAT recorders for 2-track masters. 250 virtual tracks for comps and alternate takes.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "Thanks to zZounds for the awesome Play as you Pay installment plan. I have become a customer for life!" - customer on May 13, 2013
Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (140 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Awesome"
Sound: The sound is absolutely pristine...(Ultra clean).. Feature: One of the facts about this unit that I like the most is six simultaneous inputs for recording. This unit also has 999 undo/recall levels and 250 virtual tracks per song (An absolutely stellar feature that even units twice the price that boast more initial tracks don't have.) Alot of other units only allow simultaneous recording on 2 to 4 tracks yet they boast claim to 8, 12, or 16 etc... Whats the use of having all those extra faders on the otside of the box if you can't really use the simultaneously. Quality: The build quality of this product in my opinion is very good. Value: It is more than worth the price. Manufacturer Support: I have dealt with TEAC before and TASCAM is a division of the same company. I absolutely love their customer service. They are always making updates to their products readily available to customers. The Wow Factor: The interface is very well thouught out and laid out. It looks very nice.

"MORE THAN I EXPECTED!!!!"
Sound: sounds GREAT, but definitely needs a tube-preamp. Feature: far more features than I expected. Great quality effects Quality: great quality!!!!!!!, beautiful and well-made machine. Value: nice value, little expensive for the old 788 (since 2000) Manufacturer Support: HORRIBLE SUPPORT, I mean it, go into www.tascam.com and try to find something about 788 support or support e-mail. No forums, no FAQ's NOTHING. I need to know if I can connect the 788 directly to my computer, so I can import tracks. The Wow Factor: YEAH!!! Overall: nice machine but absolutely no support.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
