It doesn't have to be such a bummer, IMO.  I'd recommend the Korg D8 8
track at $900, a Phillips CDR 870 stand-alone CDR recorder for $600, and
forget the DAT.  A Mackie 1202VLZ may do your mixing job and there are a
lot of used ones at $250.  I can't claim experience with the ASR-X or its
competitors, sorry....
