Tape hiss (yes, even with Dolby), limited high end, wow, flutter, limited bass response, in many instances the pitch changes as the takeup reel gets larger with tape, the loss in overdubbing, all of these anomalies have been solved via pcm digital recording. If you don't get into using the PC or Mac for multitrack recording, there are plenty of dedicated digital decks available today that blow the old Tascam and other cassette multitrackers out of the running. And lots of 'em are as simple to use, as well. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com
