Hi all, & hoping all is well.
I know right off this may be the wrong place to post this, but it seemed like the best...
Well, PreSonus now has their StudioLive AR16c, & has 2 extra tracks to record to, but no tweakable FX section, & no Compressor on each I/O,,, but the Tascam Model 16 has only 14 recordable tracks, but, tweakable FX, Comp.... both similarly priced. I do not have a PC, nor do I intend to.
Again, no PC,,, I know, I'm thinking old school, but I gotta keep my load small, & I'd rather lay down some tracks over the next 6 months than learn software & interfaces,,, I s'pose I'm setting myself up for a bit of a challange, but once upon a time, I'd make & mix 4-trk cassettes that sounded like 8,, 8 tracks that sounded like 12 or 16, then I had a 1" 16 trk, then it was off to the races with 2 Alesis HD24XR's & my 32 ch. board. It's all gone & now I have a burning desire to do my band's songs, among others before I kick and/or my fingers no longer work, & my brain can no longer call the shots,,,, I'll be a jack of all trades, but master of ONE,,, just one. Keep it easy, simple, soulful, & in time, if I choose to add on, I'll get a PC, but not now.
Any thoughts, or blessings?
Many thanks & be well....

Look at the two units, and pick some kind of part that both use, like a main volume slider. Or a display module. Now go online and see how easy (or not) it is to find such parts from the two makers. I used to be an authorized TEAC/TASCAM service shop, and at least before I retired, they had parts available, and a service network. I used to know a guy that worked at Presonus, but beyond that I have no idea how supportive they are. TO me this is important - can I get it serviced?
If you get one of these, you have to learn to use IT, not much different from learning some software. For what it is worth, my approach is to define the job, then determine what I need to do it best. As Mr.Natural said "Get the right tool for the job."
