I have a bunch of 4 track cassettes that I would like to transfer to my new VF80, is this possible, and if so any help would be appreciated.
 
there's no "easy" way to do this. You will have to get some leads or plugs that convert your tape player's "rec out" RCA plugs to 1/4" inputs for the VF80.

then, the hard part....you can only record 2 tracks at once on the VF80, so you will have to pan track 1 from the tape to the LEFT and that will be automatically assigned to track 1 on the VF80, pan track 2 RIGHT and it will go to track 2 on the VF80.

record those two.

then set up the same process for tape tracks 3 and 4...being panned so they end up on tracks 3 and 4 on the VF80. Record these as closely as you can in alignment to tracks 1 and 2. You will then have to cut and paste tracks 3 and 4 until they line up with the first two!

The only other way is to mix your tracks down to a two track stereo or straight into the VF80 as two tracks as you go.
