Recording devices

Hi Dave

I remember looking at one of your Videos about recording tunes. You talked about a device that you referred to as the industry standard and which could be purchased for about $300 dollars. I have searched through all of the videos I would have looked at. However, I can't find that Video again.

I did a search of forum topics and found you talking about a device called Tascam DR-08.
.
Could you let me know what the first device was and how it compares with the Tascam item.

Thanks in advance.
