I realize that this subject has been discussed here in some detail on
several occasions, but after checking through the archives I am still
unsure about some things.

I'm wondering if anybody has any thoughts or opinions on digital hard disk
recording. At the pro-audio store I went to, the salesman suggested that
for my purposes (practicing & audition tapes), a DAT machine may not be
the most practical. Instead, the advice was to buy a machine like the
Fostex FD-4 Multitracker with hard drive. The microphone would be
something like AKG c1000.

Some of the reasoning behind this was that a Sony portable DAT has no
editing possibilities, and a TAscam costs 2-3 times as much.
The price for the Fostex is around 800 CAD at this store, and my main
question is, whether that is worth the money? Also is it regarded as a
good procedure to make digital recordings?

Hopefully someone will have some experience or advice about this.

Bye,
Merlin Von Frankenberg.
