The 2488neo is Tascam's latest take on its 24-track, 24-bit recorder. Sporting eight mic inputs, it's one of the few recorders able to record and mix a full band. A new batch of mastering effects joins the reverb, amp simulation, compression and EQ processing to create and burn finished-sounding CDs in a stand-alone unit. With Tascam's simple interface, great-sounding preamps and chart-ready effects the 2488neo is the ultimate 24-track production machine. Learn More...

"Tascam does it again"
It took almost a year to weed through all of the choices out there. After comparing I found the 788 to be the best sounding and easiest to use. 6 tracks at once allows me the flexability that I needed. Very easy to navigate without a million menus. The CD-RW788 burnsCD's, Backs up the drive and also works with my Macs and PC so it was well worth it. The perfect successor to my old Tascam 4-track with no compromises. XLR's would have been nice but they give you two adapters for free.
The effects sound nice and do a lot of different things.

"Awesome"
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.

Desirability:
The interface is very well thouught out and laid out. It looks very nice.

Sound:
The sound is absolutely pristine...(Ultra clean)..

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.
