At the time the 246 was one of the best multitrack recorders you could get your hands on. It features a 6-channel mixer section with proper routing facilities, insert points on every channel and two effects sends. In the EQ department, you are provided with a 2-band sweepable system, there are four large illuminated meters for the four record busses (incorporating peak reading LEDs), and two smaller ones for the master left\/right mix, and the tape transport controls incorporate a memory feature as well as a zero return facility, there is a choice of two tape speeds so that you can still play your pre-recorded stereo cassettes. For serious multitrack recording, the higher speed of 3¾ips is to be recommended as the quality is noticeably better. The noise reduction system is DBX but in recognition of the fact that some drum machines and time codes don't like it, you can either switch it out on channel four only or completely by means of slide switches located on the rear panel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan face=\"\" size=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"\" face=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eNotable users of the Tascam Portastudio series include Four Tet, Luke Prichard, Bootsy Collins, Wu-Tang Clan, Lou Reed, Aztec Camera’s Roddy Frame. and Lady Gaga.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"\" face=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"\" face=\"\" color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"\" face=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a used unit.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"\" face=\"\" color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"\" face=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan color=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003ePhysically this unit is in good condition.
