Arny strike again

[Harry Lavo]

Arny shows his colors once again. On a discussion of a recording
technicality over on RAP where one of the engineers suggested that one use
the inserts on the Tascam mixer, Arny interjected into the conversation
(between others) that he was unaware of any Tascam mixer that had inserts.
Whereupon the engineer pointed out that the mixer did indeed have inserts.
They finally concluded that only the *cheapest, low end Tascam model* lacked
inserts.

Arny's approach to professional audio bears a striking resemblance to his
approach to quality home audio, does it not? Cheapest, low end....indeed.
LOL!

Harry once again shows his grotesque ignorance. The so-called mixer in
question is the Tascam US-122/US 122L which is not a mixer at all, but is
instead a USB audio interface. Chalk one up for Harry - he doesn't seem to
know that the product category of USB audio interface is different from the
product category called mixer.

In fact neither the US 122 nor the US 122L can do any mixing at all. They
just have level controls for their various inputs and outputs. Note that
Harry clearly calls these products mixers - probably because like actual
mixers, they have more knobs than he can understand. ;-)

The history of the product is that the US-122 had inserts, but has been
discontinued and replaced by the US-122L that lacks inserts.

I've used a client's US 122, but it was the later L model that lacked
inserts. I didn't happen to know that the US 122 had inserts and explained
the situation in a well-documented post to RAP.

Of course this ignores the fact that the most expensive current Tascam USB
audio interface (according to Tascam's web site) is the US1641 which costs
significantly more than either the US 122 or the US 122L, and lacks inserts.
Harry's claim that "cheapest, low end Tascam model" is the only one that
lacks inputs is thus false.

Once again, in his rush to judgment, Harry has distorted or simply reversed
the meaning of just about every relevant fact and wet himself in public in a
figurative but sad sort of way.
