Yamaha MT400 - "Good, effective, simple-yet-versatile fourtrack recorder"
I picked up on of these relatively cheap. The competition from Tascam fetches much higher prices even in 2020 – undeservedly so, I think: This little Yamaha appears to be as good as the competition! I want to use this recorder for two and a half p…

Tascam Portastudio 424 - moosers's review
