The Tascam 2488 DVD Tutorial is designed to be more than just a complete guide to using the 2488: it teaches basic recording techniques to musicians getting their first start in recording. It begins with a section called "Recording School" that teaches beginners the basics about microphones, multitrack recording and mixing. It goes on for the next 90 minutes to cover every aspect of recording, editing and mixing on the 2488 24-track Digital Portastudio. (Features a brand new section on the MKII version)
