Tascam 238 - Cassette 8 Track

Today we look at the Tascam 238. An 8 track tape machine that used standard cassette tapes. We look at how Tascam managed to squeeze 8 tracks of audio on to a 1/8 inch tape while maintaining fairly good fidelity. We also listen to a song recorded on this format. Showing that you really could get a really good sounding recording using this machine.
