Re: Advice on digital VCR for loop purposes

["L Tremblay" <ltct@concentric.net>]

Before affordable digital workstations came along, folks
were using their CD-Quality Hi-Fi Stereo VCRs as direct
two-track recorders, utilizing just the audio tracks.

I imagine the specs are even better today. But since I can't
even program the damn clock, fat chance I'd use mine as a looper. :)
