I've been asked to give my imput as to what to purchase so my school can offer simple multi-track recording. My understanding is that they want to offer a whole recording module, showing the kids how to use the equipment and allow them to record music they compose and play.
I used a Roland VS 880EX about 8 years ago, and I see they're going for as little as $300 on ebay. Is there anything out there that would be better? I don't remember the roland being very intuitive, so other suggestions are appreciated.
I've also considered some computered based recording. I've looked a little at a mbox 2 or a digi 001. Would either of those two options be good ones to suggest?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
