It was a pretty wild band in all areas!How was the lady action?
Last few years of it I was married to my first wife who was pretty much insane.
Anyway ..... after coming home from a week's worth of gigs I gave her the clap.
Found out I had it so I HAD to tell her to get checked. That was a fun conversation!
"ummm ...... honey?" .........

Yeah...the 3340 started it off for all of us home-rec guys.
I have fond memories of my 4-track days...pretty raw/basic stuff, but a lot of fun recording.

I used a Tascam 424 and about ten million cassette tapes.

in some ways I think recording is more fun with recorders like that or the 3340. Their limits force you to think and figure things out.
And when you get good results you feel real pride in them because it wasn't easy to do.

Not for me. I hated being limited to 4 tracks and having to get creative with bouncing and having things share a track and stuff. Like putting a lead guitar on a vocal track. We had to make sure the lead ended before the vocals came back in. Or running the few drum mics we had into a sub mixer before going into the tascam as a mono track. That's too much work for a bunch of punk rock kids on drugs.
Did I learn anything? Maybe a little. It was a long time ago. I much, much prefer digital.

well, I agree ..... no way I would want to go back. But I do think it's a good starting point. If you can get good results outta 4 tracks ........ unlimited tracks is so easy. Actually I'm limited to 16 since I use a hardware digital recorder ....... 24 if I use the 'virtual' tracks. But in general I find 16 to be plenty since I tend to reduce drumbs to a stereo pair plus a kick.Not for me.

If I ever need more I can just add another D1624

At the time the 4-track was revolutionary for home-rec guys....so for that period it was great, but yeah, I wouldn't jump for joy if I had to record solo on a 4-track these days...though if it was a solid band, it could work out some.
