Cassette Tape Analogue 4-Track Recorders

[Mark L]

What an amazing invention!

 

I saved up for ages to buy my first one. Before that I used to multitrack by bouncing between mono tape recorders. Ha! I still have the tapes

 

I loved my Teczon 4x4. Recorded loads of songs on it. Here's a pic of it, together with a Hondo II guitar, Aria Pro II bass, cheap Yamaha keyboard, unnamed Spanish guitar, and a Peavey Classic 65 combo. Ah, those were the days

I bought my first (and only) when I was about 16, used from some dude who kindly gave me a couple books on home recording along with it. It was a Tascam 424 MkII, which I still have, although it's pretty beat up. I bought it because I was too self-conscious to try playing in a band with other people, so I just sat at home and recorded terrible songs by myself.

 

Later I started recording friends' bands, and this is what eventually led me to go to school for audio production.

Got a pic of it?

 

By the way, it's good to know you actually did something productive with your recording skills . I'm still just recording {censored} by myself, when I can be bothered

I'd take one for ya, but I don't seem to have any live batteries for my camera.

 

I misrepresented: it's the first Portastudio 424, not the MkII.

 

I wouldn't go as far as to say I did anything "productive" with my recording skills.

I have an almost unused Tascam 414 MkII. Right after I bought it, I discovered the world of free computer based recording software.
