Hi, this is my first post here so here it goes.
I have been looking into getting a reel to reel multi track recorder, and I have cruised ebay and all that, and I see some that say 8-track, and 4-track, and on all of them there is only one spot for a reel of tape. I don't know much of anything about reel to reel recorders, so excuse me if this question is incredibly stupid, but I always thought that if it was a Multitrack recorder, there would be more spots for tape reels, so you would have 8 reels of tape in total, thus being able to change audio levels and eq and whatever, of the different mic inputs, each source, after recording.
I have a behringer UB1204-Pro, and I use that to record from 4 mics, to one source. But I am more facinated with Vinyl, and the 60's/70's music and for a long time have been looking into that kind of recording, trying to get rid of digital all together, or as much as possible. I have been told to look into a Tascam 388.
Anyway, (sorry I rambled so much) my question is, if it is a multi track recorder, how come there is only one reel of tape on the recorder? And do they make consoles where each input has its own tape to record to. Thanks for any help at all.
