Looking to buy a 4 track

[picostudios]

I'm looking to buy a 4 track cassette recorder. Something that will let me record 4 simultaneous tracks at the same time. Any one?

The Tascam 246 would fit the bill.

I'm going to be selling my Tascam 424mkII, but not for a few more weeks.

How many weeks exactly, I'd be willing to wait. How much?

analog. no digital.

I have a Tascam Porta 02 MKII Portastudio I would be willing to sell. Info for it is on the link below. I bought it a few years ago, used it for a while and now it is just sitting in my basement. I would need to test it out, but last I used it it was in great shape. Drop me an email if you are interested and I can test it out and get some pics for you.

Haha sorry about that other post, I deleted it because I realized you said cassette in your original post.

I'd recommend taking a serious look at the 246. Not only does it have a whole four mic/line inputs but it also has a proper 4 buss mixer plus

* Insert points for each channel

* Three band sweep EQ on each channel

* Tape outs for each track

* PGM Buss In and Outs for each track

* Panning as well as gain on the monitor circuit.

Linkage. I cant seem to find anything with g00gle. I cant see ebay items at work. It blocks that website.

I should be done by June 20 or so. Just gotta finish some tape transfers & I'm done with it. I'll sell it for $100 shipped to anywhere in US.

Sounds like a done ditty sir. Just as long as I can record 4 tracks at the same time, with no issue. Does it have phant00m power?

Edited: I found this. http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--TAS424MKIII

Oooooh. How come sam ash or musicians friend doesnt sell this sexy badboy.

There's also the Tascam 644, which is more recent.

Or, how about going 8 track with the 488 MKII or 688!

No the mkII did not have phantom power. Honestly, you'll want to get an external pre when you can afford it anyway. It's a good tape unit but the pres are very so-so.

Here's a 644

The 688 is the same but slightly bigger

And here's the 488

The 488 MKII has phantom power on two channels and can record to four tracks at a time from any number of inputs
