Q1.8 How does an 8-track machine compare to a 4-track machine?<br />
Clearly, they have 8 tracks instead of 4. However, they are also<br />
aimed at a more high-end market. For example, I was unable to find a<br />
4-track machine which used DAT (Digital Audio Tape). I found,<br />
however, the Yamaha D88 8-track, which lists at US$4499.<br />
The Tascam 688 Midistudio 8-track lists at US$3779.<br />

The ADAT is now available from Alesis and has been proven in the pro<br />
marketplace. Prices are hovering above $2000. This type of machine<br />
needs an external mixer. Multiple units can be synced together. Many<br />
studios use these, so if you happened to buy one you would be format<br />
compatible with the industry. However, if you're going to spend that<br />
much, you'll need a mixer and good mics... Soon you're out $5000.<br />
