Which one of these systems would suit me better...
I like the idea of still being able to record onto tape..people have told me it has so much more feel...and its not as crisp (in a good way).
- but also ive heard that it has a constant hiss and doesent sound good...and the whole tape thing is just a hype. Also, for example, say i recordered me playing guitar and singing...would i then just be able to play the tape i recorded on...on a walkman or tapeplayer...or do i have to mix it to stereo


moving on...
the hard disk recorder is a little more expensive...but it does seem to have some practicalites....put your music on the comp. and then burn to CD....more editing options (even though i wouldnt really edit my music). But it is also digital and im not a big fan of it...


so is tape totally outdated and just a usless thing to do....and digital is better...or is tape still going strong and still has that special sound to it..I'm bassiclly asking: What would you buy?


Thanks
