Members Mark L Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members veracohr Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members veracohr Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 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.

Members Jeff Leites Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 I have an almost unused Tascam 414 MkII. Right after I bought it, I discovered the world of free computer based recording software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
