1387: Clippers 'n Whittlers

TASCAM Audio Interface Performance and Production Quality

A TASCAM audio interface was discarded after listener feedback indicated it lacked the expected high-quality production sound. Comparisons are made to the MXL 990 microphone, which was noted for having a distracting "comb filter" effect that made it unsuitable for professional use. The technical limitations of the TASCAM and Roadcaster units are criticized, specifically regarding their inability to provide professional control over the audio chain and their tendency to produce a "calming" NPR-style sound rather than an aggressive, engaging tone.
