I want to get some recording device for my birthday, but don't want my sisters to spend too much money. I'm don't really care as long as it sounds passable for a demo.

Would there be some way for me to hook up two 4-tracks ($160) instead of one 8-track digital recorder ($260), or would you think the difference in audio quality from cassette to CD-quality not be worth it?

I'm a voice-over hobbyist in my spare time (and hopefully one day as a career), but I've found that lately I don't really have the time to sit down at my computer and record in peace and quiet.

Hi,

(Dead Link Removed)

-Take care

I've had a ZOOM 4-track recorder ( I think it was $200.00 ? ) for a few years but realized that the unit is only capable of recording "shorter" recordings, not 3+ hours continuosly. Now,I have the ZOOM H4 which has a 4-track built in, but, I'd still rather have a unit with larger control buttons & sliders.
If my ZOOM 4-track was capable of long recordings, it would be perfect.

Are any of the "old" reel-to-reel tape recorders, either semi-pro or pro, 4,8,16,24 track being made new? Even if it is in China!
thanks, Shindog.

Yeah I have the TonePort but I'm hearing pops and clicks so I'm thinking of sending it back. USB interrupt issues. I raised the buffer slider and it helped a little but not entirely. I was wondering though about those hard disk recorders, like the Tascam ones.

Who likes/dislikes what brands of the small 1bit recorders? Are the recordings much better than the 24/96 recorders? Do they really record the most "pristine" sound possible of acoustic instruments? Any problems inputing to software for proccessing?-What's next?

hey guys, just wanted to see your opinion on which multitrack i should buy? (out of the 3)
but if you have any suggestions then please post them!
I need a multitrack recorder for a couple of reasons:
1. I want to record my band, but the drums can possibly be done with the drum pads on the recorders

Hello,
I am very new at recording music. I own a Zoom MRS 802B recorder. When I record the bass I plug straight into the machine. The sound is very muddy and far from pure. I was wondering if it is better to mic the amp and record that way. If anyone has suggestions please let me know.

Take it easy on me, remember I am new at this. Thanks
