last time i checked the Tascam was selling for nearly a £1000! that was when it first came out tho, its probably dropped now but if ur spending anywhere near £600 for a brand new Djm then ud be stupid not to get an Allen Heath instead... no amount of effects makes up for the shoddy, plastic build of the 600...
yeah alot of people thought Clarke had more to do with it but he never, the aim was to get him really involved in it but i think complications arose and it turned out that he had very little to do with it in the end... the only thing it can do over a 600 is the fact is has 2 simultaneous effects, and imo opinion having 1 effect at a time is over doing it at times never mind 2... and anyway, i reckon those who use effects too much are only compensating for having shit records! haha ;)
