Tape is very forgiving of levels, giving you a pleasent compression if you get a bit high. This is very unlike the nasty solid state clipping you get on digital.
The hiss always gives you some backup, too. :lol:
You might be interested in a cd by John Vanderslice called "Life and Death of an American Fourtracker". It's kind of an Indie rock "Quadraphenia". One song, "Me and My 424" is a love song (of sorts) to your 4-track recorder (actually it's to the mk2, but close enough).]]> In The Studio slothrob https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/any-one-using-4-track-cassettes/#post-81328 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/any-one-using-4-track-cassettes/#post-5806 Fri, 24 Dec 2004 06:46:54 +0000 In The Studio smokindog https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/any-one-using-4-track-cassettes/#post-5806
