Here's a comparison between two portastudios from the late 90's, one is analog and the other is digital. The MD8 records to MiniDisc and the MT8Xii takes cassette tapes. Both units are getting on to being 30 years old, but can they still be useful for a Dawless recording setup today?

    The info about cassette decks can be bettered a LOT when considering some models. For example, the Yamaha K-1020 with dbx noise reduction and metal tape has a frequency response of 20Hz to 23kHz and 95dB signal to noise ratio, a dynamic range of 90dB, with Wow & Flutter of 0.03%WRMS. Another Yamaha, the K-2000 has FR 20-24k Hz, S/N ratio 108dB and W&F 0.02%WRMS. And there is a selected list of other models/brands at this level of technical specifications. I use VHS to record music, in conjunction with a Sansui AV-77 AV processor, which providides DBX noise reduction and a 30dB increase in S/N ratio and dynamic range. The result is fantastic
