Default Re: Tape recorder for home recording?

High quality multitrack recording in the analogue domain is hugely expensive. Once you move up from the Portastudio type cassette based systems, you will need to spend an awful lot of money to come anywhere near the performance of a decent 4 channel USB soundcard and a laptop. There's no harm in playing around with R2R, but if you want decent quality without spending literally thousands then you would be advised to use the computer. You can always use a R2R or even a cassette deck to create effects.
