Pat, I'm with you!!!!!

I'm a Tascam 388 guy and wouldn't give it up for any of the latest digital home gear. The ease of use and sound produced and bang for the buck can't be matched. I've tried mid priced to high end home Digital recorders and couldn't wait to get rid of them and get back to my 388. I'm old school, I use real intruments and when needed a click and a few outboard effects and obtain great demos! No computers, sequencers, midi or any of that. Stock up on tape! I know tape can go bad in storage but I still crack open new reels that have been sitting in my closet for years and have yet to have a problem. It may get harder to find but it will still be around for some time, probably always.
