I can record three tracks, and bounce it to one, then record two more, bounce it to one and then record two more on top of it. I started to fiddle around with it, and it sounds pretty good to my surprise.
I bought my first four-track recorder off of ebay, 76.00 with shipping. It can be tricky to work with, but understanding it isn't that hard once you get the hang of things. Four 1/4' jacks at the front, and two XLR's in the back. I havent used the effects channels yet, but it has a nice 'mini mixing board' with treble and bass. Garage bands will have a ball with this unit.
It can handle multiple instruments at the same time. In summary I would recomend this unit to anyone who desires to do some personal recording as well as group recordings. I have yet to drop it accidently or damage it in anyway, time will tell how the recording heads hold up, but so far I am pleased with it's durability. The constuction and quality both seem to be top notch, it is a very portable unit and seems to hold up to every day bumps and bruises. I have nothing bad to say about this unit except that it picks up every bad note I hit, but on the other hand it is capable of dubbing over so I can make mistakes it allows me to correct them. I will probably in the future have a lot more to say about this unit since I have only begun to explore it's process. The ability to transfer the recordings to another medium such as a CD or cassettes is a plus for listening and sharing my music with friends and family. The sound reproduced is a quality recording. It is a very good starter tool for someone who wishes to record at a beginner level with professional results. I have not begun to explore the possibilities acheivable with this unit mostly due to the lack of experience on my part with electronic equipment, but the manufacturers instuction booklet explains many of the features and operations possible in detail in a language even someone as inexperienced as myself can understand. The Unit can be jacked in directly without the need for an amp, or preamped with your equipment, while implementing effects from other accessories,ie. The practice is vital to any musician to explore different avenues and to hone their skills. With this ability I also can practice with accompanyment if there are no friends around to jam with. I enjoy this unit thoroughly because it allows me to record rythym and play along as well as record lead and bass licks with the ability to start over and over until I reach the desired effects. to record my personal guitar music and graduate to burning CD's on my newly procured computer. I purchased the 414 mkII portastudio with cash at Wrays house of music in Lemoyne Pa.
