Does anyone here have one of those small 4-tracks or anything?
Just rather than go the through the computer route to record stuff, I thought that this might be a good way. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of stuff.

I've used my mates four track, which was pretty easy to use. Sound quality was suprisingly good.

Yup. I have a Fostex X-12, which I bought primarily because I needed a cheap 4-track. It's quality, though. I get a better signal on an instrument than on my computer (Truly though, my computer's a piece of shit), it's more portable, and it gives me hands-on control.

Also, I'll take an analog signal for my vocals. Odds are, I'm gonna continue to use this exclusively to mixdown my vocals, because a digital stream picks up too much noise.

A ton of big names use four tracks (HEll, Frank Black uses a 2-Track).

I like the idea of running my instruments through the Tascam, then into the computer. One, I get a hard copy of something plus the digital information on my computer, and I can get cleaner sound. For some reason it works as a good filter for amplifiers as well. Like when I use my flanger on my bass, I constantly get an endless wavering instead of silence, but the Tascam cleans that up.

I am using my computer to record stuff now, but I am using the trial version of Goldwave, and I am not really sure if it has all the features that I want.

I can't figure out how to layer the two guitar parts that I recorded for a song.

I have a Tascam 4 track and use it all the time. I just recorded a bunch of songs I wrote over the week. I just hook up my 4 track to my computer, translate the tracks to Mp3's and blam, there you go.

It also cleans up issues I have with processed vocals, though not by a huge amount.

Music shops.

Though if you want a specific locale, look at www.musiciansfriend.com . They have 4-track and multitracks that run the gauntlet from chincy (EDIT: This is not supposed to say "Chinky," before anyone gets hostile...Chincy, as in cheap) to extravagent.

How is asking for information on a 4 track being racist? Make some sense, dude.

I think that's what Joel was responding to.

We had people wig out over the word "chinky" before, and the spelling of Chince/chincy is close enough so I decided to put a disclaimer on the end.

Chinky is a term that apparently gets used in Britain, which is based off of a racial slur (Chink). Because it's a racial slur, use of it is likely going to be considered racist.

Hope that explains everything...
