If you must have a semi-pro 1/4" machine, consider the Technics RS-1520. The Technics ISO-LOOP transport is probably the most stable semi-pro transport out there. I owned one back in the day.

Never in a million years. Except for a few pieces, TASCAM consoles were respectable and reliable for their price point but that's about it. I ran their experimental/prototype/early production studio from my home for several years so I should know.

2003. That thing in my lap was a Solid State Logic 4048E/G. One of my favorites over the years. Bob

Well Bob that's a beautiful board, I'll bet it sounded great !! That was my point a great sound comes from the mixing board, not the tape. Maybe that's why studios pay big bucks for them....

My mentors weren't looking for a basic signal path that added "color" or "warmth." They wanted everything left clean so that they could decide with eq and/or other processing how to sculpt what ended up on the tape. To that end, one studio I recorded at went so far as to have custom SAKI heads made and installed on their 3M M56 that had Ampex 440 electronics instead of the stock ones from 3M. Coupled with their Spectra Sonics console, recordings from there were as clean as anyone could ask for.

It's a D-35 with a Seymour Duncan Woody pickup into the Tascam mixer which goes into the Denon mixer then into Cakewalk by BandLab, then into Adobe Audition for final editing and uploaded to BandCamp for your pleasure.
This routing seems to work very well for me with all my recordings....

I think I'm going to get the Fostex 80-8 track recorder. It comes with lots of great reviews, and will look awesome on a shelf above the Tascam mixer. Both units are black and will look nice together.

In case you are wondering why I'm using two mixers in my rig, it because the Tascam doesn't have phantom power for my mics, It works fine for my instruments. At first it was a little tricky getting the levels right, but it's all set up nice now. As it turned out I'm using all the channels in both mixers anyhow.

Yeah 8 tracks on 1/4 inch tape width about the same track density as a 4 track cassette recorder. Good luck!
