I just bought a new multi-tracker.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I have been wanting one of these for a long time, having struggled with 4 track casettes and the horrors of cable impedience and muddy sounding masters.

So finally ... I got this:



Here are the particulars:

2. Cool For You
We've got a Tascam 16 track that we use. Boy, does it make recording easier than the old multitrack casette days. I've got a 4 track minidisc recorder, too! I use that for song sketches, but with digital i can mult and ping-pong without any noticeable signal loss. That's so much better than doing a 10 track song on a 4 track cassette system even if it's operating at double speed.

Have fun.

3. Good for you!
I've got a Tascam MMT-8 digital 8-track myself. It only records in 16-bit, but that's more than enough for basic demos. It stores data on CompactFlash cards, and can run on 6 AA bateries, so it's very portable.

Also, I'm still a little hard-disc-recording phobic, and I like the "old fashioned" analog controls. Same goes w/ softsynths-- I first learned synthesis on early-80s analog stuff, and I still prefer
'knob-twiddling' to pointing and clicking.

Have fun with your new "toy"-- sounds like a lot of fun!
