Waste of time and money (I tried this before and just ended up paying dough to fix it and messed up my track). Eventually I got a Tascam DP-004 digital 4-track recorder, which has been serving me quite well. Although, you can also just record everything onto the computer nowadays.

You should bounce everything to a tascam portastudio.

fukcing lol.

Tascam portastudio all the way. It's like NS10's: if you can get it to sound good on that, then clearly you're on too many drugs, or not enough.

My mates old recordings from his Tascam portastudio were bloody lovely sounding.

Oddly enough he's recently started bouncing to a Tascam DA40 DAT and re-importing into Cubase and he reckons he's getting a very satisfying result.

I've always been recording everything into my Tascam DP-004, and I'm happy with the sound quality. The only reason I see for recording into the computer is if you want to individually EQ every channel, otherwise my Tascam serves me well for the oldschool analog sound. I'm sure there may be something better, but honestly the recordings from my Tascam sound virtually the same (if not the exact same) as when I'm listening to my equipment through my analog mixer.

Bouncing to digital doesn't add anything but trucation and rounding errors. Unless you are using it as a bit reducing effect. I think that was my original point. It is silly.

Sure it doesn't add anything, but it's much less of a hassle than recording to DAT, nowadays. I'm guessing virtually everyone records to digital nowadays, no? When I bought a 606 from Joey Jupiter, I also bought his DAT player, upon which he gave me a confused look and asked me why I would even consider using the outdated DAT recording method, when digital is so much easier and just/nearly as good.
