Product Description
The Tascam 2488 mkII is the follow-up to the best-selling, simple-to-use 24-track recording and mixing workstation for home studios. Like the original 2488, eight inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and ¼-inch inputs. 19 physical faders control the mixdown channels, and each channel has 3-band EQ and access to three built-in effects processors. The built-in CD-RW drive can record the master mix in addition to backing up the hard drive and importing WAV files. New features include a larger hard drive, new LCD display, new guitar effects and improved CD mastering capabilities. The 2488mkII adds an 80GB hard drive, double the size of the previous version. Improved guitar overdrive effects have been added, and the "Slow-Speed Audition" feature from TASCAM's line of CD Trainers is included for learning new music. A large, bright display makes the unit even easier to use, and new CD mastering features include defining tracks in a live recording and a faster CD burner.

Tascam 2488-MKII
By Sean P. Sweeney
I love this thing. I jam with some friends every weekend, and it's been very easy to learn to use. Great sound quality. I don't use any of the sounds it comes with, but I do love the ease of digital multi tracking and burning it right on to a cd. I've tried others and just didn't get along with them, so to speak. I am biased toward Tascam, I've always preferred their recording equipment. I only give 4 stars because I know there are plenty of extras on this I don't use, so I'm really not qualified to give it 5.

Does it all
By Jeffrey A. Hensley
This Studio-In-A-Box can be your one-stop-shop for music production. I use mine for tracking, then export the data into my DAW for mixdown, effects, etc... However, you can go from tracking to mastering, all on this unit.It's easy to use, the manual is straight forward, and there is more than enough functionality. Every time I think "wouldn't it be nice if it could...", I find myself saying, after a quick look in the manual, "wow, it can do that to!"It's not without it's flaws... the plastic construction does feel a bit weak (I almost thought I'd cracked the case just unpacking it!) and the jog wheel feels like a kid's toy. But it works and as long as you gently unpack it and sit it on your desk (never to move again). It should be fine.
