4-track as a preamp?

[undermars]

Is this a good idea? I have a tascam 414 and a low budget.
I want to use it for vocals and acoustic guitar into a pc...
or should i buy a proper preamp any recommendations would be great. remember the low budget part. thanks.

I used the pre's on my Yamaha cassette deck for a while, long enough to see that my interests substantiated an upgrade.

on a low budget this would definately be the way to go. realize that the sound would not be as good as if you had a good pre, but it would work.
