Kind of a noob question, but wasn't sure if it was noobish enough for the that section but anyway.
I just had thoughts of doing a one man project in the future, and mastering it old fashion analog style to Vinyl possibly.
I'm not the most informed about everything, but based on the little knowledge that I have I plan to: To get and use 2 four track cassette recorders, to be able to use a total of eight tracks each instrument. So basically the 4 tracks on both tapes would have different instruments playing on their 4 tracks, and when both tapes are played at the same time, they may sound like a song recorded on a 8 track, and I wanted to transfer it that way to one of those 1/4 tape reels to be used as the master tape, even though I've learned little of those. The big tape reels are where I'm not the most informed. I've heard of them being either 2 track or being 24 track, but I'm aware there's also the 1/2 reels and I might be mixing up the info I read about them. I'd appreciate it if that info was cleared up for me.
How I imagine this working is by recording both cassettes on 2 separate tracks of the reel.
I may be asking an obvious and low IQ question but I just wanted to make sure that my concept of the process is possible, and if so what would I need to connect the cassettes into the tracks of the reel recorder for recording (Cables, adapters etc)?
Thank you for your time reading.
