An acquaintance wants to be able to lay down quick song ideas and do some overdubs (guitar and bass). It's not for production but more for composing and saving ideas. He knows nothing about recording and asked me for advice. My studio is overkill for what he wants and I'd rather see him with something he can have at home for those moments of inspiration. He told me he wrote seven songs last week (!) and doesn't write the music down. ( I wish I had that kind of inspiration.)
It seems to me he needs a small four or eight track recording unit, simple as possible. I can give him an old cheap mic that I don't need anymore. He can use his home stereo for playback and monitoring for this simple purpose.
I'd appreciate any advice on small inexpensive (used or new) recording mixing units--probably a cassette type of unit would be more than sufficient. It should be simple to operate and have mic as well as line inputs. Thanks...
