Manufacturer's Description for Tascam 788 24-Bit 8-Track Digital Portastudio

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.

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.

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.
