HELP!!!

[Sabres]

I need help really badly!!!,

Well, I want to make good electronic music. I know about the drum machines and synths, but I thought a 4-8 track would be good. That way I can layer sounds from various sources. I am thinkin' of getting a Tascam 414mkII Ministudio, but I have a few questions:

1. If I already recorded a track, can I listen to it while recording another track?

2. When I am reading to mix the song, Can I mix a track live, or does the sound need to be programmed into the multi-track then mixed?

3. What are the advantages of a 8 track over a 4 track? The 8 track just lets you layer 8 sounds at once, right?

3. If you want to record something in stereo, you'll need two track per source. For 8 tacks you'll be full with four sources.

2. When you let the sound come in over the auxilarry inputs you can mix, or do whatever you want.

1. Yes . That is one of the basics of any multitracker.

I hope this helps, for a start.
