Hi folks.

Looks like I am not the only one in this newsgroups
who is just starting with digital recording. A previous
poster has drawn my attention to the Tascam 2488.

In the price range ($1200), we found a few products.
The handbook for the Tascam 2488 looks like this is a
very powerful but easy-to-use system.

A Roland VS 2000CD from the next higher price segment
offers a few things more. The most important seem to be:

All 8 inputs are also in XLR.
The display looks bigger.
Effect board for pugging in new effects is available.
You could add and external screen and mouse.
4 band EQ (Does anybody know if midranges are parametric?)

As the Tascam 2488 meets all our requirements at the
moment, but I have no idea what other needs experience will
trigger.

What do you think: Is that Roland VS 2000CD worth 40%
additional cost?
