Might be worth going for a cheap digital 4-track, that way you can hook it up to your computer if you want to. I have a digital eight-track i still use from time to time to do just that, really helps with recording at rehearsal spaces etc. I think 4-tracks are cool if you don't have a lot of space ...

well its inherent but not horrible sounding at all in my experience..many records i listen to everyday were done with 4 tracks..Its really a matter of taste..you have to hear/use one somehow..maybe you can borrow one or something before you decide to purchase it ?..or go out and buy some albums kno...

OH yea, and if any of you guys have tracks made exclusivley on a tascam portastudio i'd like the hear the quality you got. Post an mp3 of it being used if you have one.

I think a four track would be perfect for you..I just bought a 424mkII for my girlfriend to write with..i was testing it out and it brought me back..IMHO they dont sound bad at all..in fact its much simpler to get good sounding stuff with cassette than digital (also an opinion)..things tend to gel ...

I wonder if he got his recording studio name from the Pixies song....

I'm in monmouth county, but I play guitar and being in college and work don't have even if there were to be a meeting.

good luck finding someone )ddsd

Back when I was first starting, with nothing but my sound blaster, no microphones. I ran a 1/4 to 1/8th cable from my amps speaker output, to my line in. Sparks would fly from the cable as I plugged it into my computer XD. Sounded awful too.
