I have just recently purchased an old fostex x-14 to record ideas and stuff. It works great but I am new to recording. My only problem has been when recording on tracks 3 or 4 .When I listen back to the tape on my X-14 I can hear all tracks.being played back. But when I listen to the tape a regular tape player I can only hear tracks 1 & 2!!! Can somebody give me some advice please??? I'm thinking I need to record all 4 tracks from my X-14 to another recording device,I dont have the manual for the X-14 so I'm at a loss,but I'm not sure if it's that or If my X-14 is messed up. I would think after recording all 4 tracks to my X-14,overdubbing and so forth,I would be able to play ALL 4 tracks back on any tape player ....... AMI WRONG??

Somebody please help!!
 
You are wrong........

A 4-track cassette can only be played on a 4-track multitrack recorder......... the general process is to record your tracks (referred to as "tracking") - then to "mixdown" those tracks to another 2-channel (ie, stereo) machine... a cassette player, computer, CD burner, MD, whatever........

It is the "mixdown" version that you'd be playing in other machines..........

Flip the tape over, you'll hear the other tracks!

But yeah mix it down.
