These are great for quickly recording some ideas, but not for a commercial record.
earwhig said:I do know of some kick ass "commercial recordings" out there that were recorded on a portastudio.-such as Guided by Voices and Lou Barlow of Sebedoh. I'm interested in finding out about more of these artists. ..... I love the sound of a cassette 4-track album. It may sound stupid, but I think that there's something a bit romantic about recording GOOD songs on these or other primitive devices.

Ronan said:4-tracks can not only sound really cool, but the simplicity of the technology and the low cost can let you focus on musical creativity instead of trouble shooting a computer. Its amazing how much a high tech recording set up can kill an artists creative flow.

Likewise,... "McCartney",... 1"-4-track, produced at home. Good one!
