Okay! I just setup my dad old Akai 202d-ss reel to reel. Its quadrophonic....4 tracks-o-surround sound heaven. I got the Pioneer receiver too;)

I just ordered some blank tape and am going to try recording soon. What do you guys think of this model....or simular models?
It doesn't support recording one track, then go back and record another, but thats cool....I really need to get away from that anyways......

I am going to probably start out doing one mic on my acoustic, and one on my voice. But technically I can use four channels. Granted no one outside of my home will be able to listen to it in that means, but thats their loss........

I need an analog mixer now so I can mic my friends drums, my guitar, voice, etc and mix them properly. (I am not too fond of left speaker voice, right speaker guitar) I don't want to use my 1680 because that has A/D converters that will drop the sound to 20 bits, then convert it back to analog....even then its only 2 tracks output.

So my question is..............I don't know what my question is.........just, any suggestions on things to try with this new marvel of technology?
 
:D NICE SCORE!!, but all 4 tracks at the same time, then trying to overdub, won't work real well. I have an old Sony that you can do each track one at a time. a small mackey or Beehringer would work.

I've replaced my Philips N4520 (4 track, 2 channel) with it's more pro-bother, the N4522 (2 track).
LOVELY SOUND! Unit also looks very good, some tiny scratches below...

BTW, Which manufacturers still produce NEW RTR-tape?
Maxell, Ampex/Quantegy and BASF? Or less or more?
 
:D They all do, goto Neemann media com. 35bucks for 10.5" reel, 1/2" wide.
