Any of you folks had any experience with Vestax 4/6 track tape decks ?
I'm currently looking at a model MR-100FX, which has ....
* 4 tracks
* Built-in digital reverb
* Stereo FX loop
* 3 speeds (norm, high, half)
* MIDI synch
* 4 assignable bar graphs
* ... and more ...
I can grab one for $525. Sound like a good deal ? Anything better out
there for the same money ? Call me Dumbo, I'm all ears !

Well, it's not one of the "name" brand units...
> * 4 tracks
Record 4 at once? 1 at a time? How are they "bounce-able"?
> * Built-in digital reverb
Editable? If you hate the reverb, it's worthless...
> * Stereo FX loop
Stereo send and return?
> * 3 speeds (norm, high, half)
High speed is cool, but 1/2 speed will be a sonic nightmare, worthless
for hi quality recordings...
> * MIDI synch
A cool feature... Does it generate MIDI clock?
> * 4 assignable bar graphs
Good.
My first impression is to say "Keep shopping...." This may fit your
needs but I'm willing to bet there's something else out there that will
do it better.
Check DNEAST::COMMUSIC for all kinds of multi-trak poop...

Vestax?. Sure it wasn't a Vespa?. They make three or four low
to moderate budget 4 tracks. I'd steer clear of them and go for
the Teac Porta 05 (about $350, I had one) or one of the Yamahas.
Of course, as always, this is only my humble opinion. Check out
Commusic..someone was just going thru the same "which-deck-ordeal?"
and, as usual, recieved many helpful and courteous replies.

I second the opinion on the Yamaha 4-tracks. My friend has one and the quality is excellent. It seemed relatively inexpensive too. Greg | |||||
