Moving Up the Ladder (very slowly)

[Spinning Slowly]

I am about to take the next step in recording and am now in the market for a 4-track recorder. I am looking for an affordable (under $300), analog 4-track that has atleast 4 mike inputs. If any of you could give me some brand and model information it would appreciate it.

I'm sure if TASCAM sells anything in that price range, it is of good quality.

Check out the Tascam 414MKIIorIII. Excellent piece of analog-ware.

Yo Slow Spinner:

BUY AT LEAST AN 8 TRACK MACHINE SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH BOUNCING TRACKS. When you have control of a single sound on one track you can tweak it a bit.

Typically here's what I do on my 8 track Yam MD-8: Drums: two tracks; Keys, one track,
Additional drum chops: one track

Vocals: go to two tracks

Solo horn/vibes/etc., one track.

Four tracks forces you to bounce and when you put two sounds on one track, you can no longer tweak each sound: you can tweak the track but two different sounds DO NOT LIKE IDENTICAL TWEAKING.

sO, mAN, get 8 or more tracks, like 16 would be plenty for what I do. 8 Tracks is plenty for what most will do.

Keep recording,
Green Hornet

uh.. I didn't think buying a analog 4 track was moving up the ladder. I thought its what most people start with. What did you start with?
