Hi,
Im new to recording with digital multi track recorders like portastudios and workstations, and I just want to know if you can layer tracks with these. What I mean is record a drum track, then the bass line, rythumn guitar, lead guitar, and vocals? All by layering them one on top of the other. I just need to layer a bass line over a beat, and then a melody over that, and the vocals. I was thinking one of the 8 tracks off of eBay ~$150 shipped. Years ago, I had a band, and we tried to record using two old 2 track recorders, recording on one that had built in mic pres, and then switch the tape to another, playing that one, feeding the first track into the one with mic pres, and recording the next track on top of the first one, If you can follow that.
Anyway, I just want to know if the portastudios can layer tracks.
Thanks
Chris
