All user reviews for the Tascam Portastudio 488 MkII

It does not work anymore ....!
Why fix it, it is too old ! The belts were too old and are broken.
on the other hand, it provided me with lots of services, two balanced inputs on the front plus 48 volts, mixing simple but easy.
Always, I was surprised by the sound quality for an 8-track K7! It was not too bad. Ideal for the home studio at the time, quality product for little money, you could have fun without having to buy the bigger machines, heavier and much more expensive!
Today it is obviously outdated, a simple little computer configuration and a small sound card with DAW software supplied is of course more the case, but that was another time ...!
