The 2488mkII is the follow-up to the best-selling, simple-to-use 24-track recording and mixing workstation for home studios. Like its predecessor, eight inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and 1/4" inputs - enough for a whole band. 19 physical faders control mono and stereo channels without scrolling through pages for quick and easy mixing. Each channel has 3-band EQ with a parametric mid-band and access to three built-in effects processors, including reverb and multieffects.
After the final mix is recorded to the dedicated stereo master recorder, the built-in CD-RW drive can burn a CD master in addition to backing up the hard drive and importing and exporting WAV files. New features from the 2488 include a larger hard drive, an all-new LCD display, new guitar effects and improved CD mastering capabilities.
The 2488MkII’s editing functions enables the user to edit their audio tracks with high precision. Sections can be copied and pasted, cut and moved, tracks can be duplicated and up to 999 steps can be undone and redone. Alternative takes allow users to select the best take from multiple takes of a recording session.
For data backup, songs can be written to CD-R/CD-RW or can be transferred to a computer via a USB connection. Songs can also be exported as WAV files, and mono WAV files can be imported into songs.
