Recorders
There are 3 separate systems available at Acoustic Niche: Our digital work station is based on Sonar 8.5 Producer’s Version in conjunction with a Mackie 1640-I console. This gives crystal clear digital clarity along with a certain amount of warmth. For those interested in old school recordings, we have available a beautiful Tascam ATR 6016 1 inch tape deck that runs in conjunction with a Mackie 24-8 buss console, a fully functioning old school set-up. Last but not least, is a Tascam MSR-16 ½ inch tape deck that runs at minus 10, absolutely beautiful, especially when used in conjunction with the digital system!!!
