Title: Alesis Masterlink vs Tascam DVRA100
Post by: Tao Zervas on August 26, 2005, 02:03:59 PM
Hello,

I recently had an unpleasant surprise when I tried to bounce some mixes internally in Digital Performer, as the sound quality of the final mixed track was much inferior to the seperate tracks on playback. I seem to be in need of a mixdown deck, but do not have the budget for a 1/2" analog deck. I have an old SONY DAT machine that I have not used in a while and I'm not sure it can be trusted.
I was wondering if I can get any opinions on the Masterlink or the DVRA100 as mixdown decks, how they compare to each other, pros, cons etc.
I would also need to bring the mixes back into my MAC for some further editing before I commit the tracks to a mastering studio.
Any comments? Thank you for your help.
