Apparently Tascam are getting back into analog mixers via this new series - their Press blurb is below - so we asked Gary Maguire to give us a quick spin...
Here's what they say:- "Utilizing fine analogue technology and sporting a fresh design, Tascam presents a new series of mixing consoles with 16 input channels, featuring numerous connections, a compact size and light weight, equally suitable as keyboard mixers or sub-mixers on stage, for home-recording purposes or at the heart of a small mobile or fixed PA system.
In addition to the features in the standard model M-164, the M-164FX boasts a built-in effects processor, and the M-164UF has an additional USB interface on top of that. The USB connection provides users with 16 audio inputs and two audio outputs on their computer. This makes the M-164UF the ideal choice for multitrack recording in the home studio or on the road. All three consoles are equipped with six microphone/line channel strips with XLR and 6.3 mm phone input jacks, phantom power and 3-band equalization plus five stereo channel strips to connect virtually every conceivable audio source. A 3.5 mm mini-jack on the top panel allows for quick connection of an MP3 player, and there is also a phono input to connect a turntable. A stereo sub-group and two aux sends complete the mix."

I wish everything were built like a Tascam. Aluminum. Trendy (There new stuff at least).
I don't think they get enough play for their craftsmanship.
Anyway, thank you Tascam for being awesome.
Now if you could ship me a new powercord for my old portastudio....

Portastudio? You were lucky. I used to dreeeam of having a Portastudio 144. All I could afford was a Realistic 4-channel mono mixer and a couple of Hitachi tape decks from Comet. You had to keep the levels low or you'd get more and more hiss with each new track overdubbed. That was analogue!
And you try telling the young people of today that.... they won't believe you!
