Can i sync two 4-tracks?

not so much.

but if you have two four tracks, you can record all four tracks in the first one, and then mix them and send the stereo output to two of the tracks on the other four track, and also, while you're dumping those four to the other machine, play a 5th track on your guitar or whatever, so then you have five tracks, with stereo imaging, and two more tracks open still.

if you wanna be crazy, then record on those other two tracks, and repeat the process and dump everything back to the other four track. it'll be noisy, and you won't be able to make any changes to the tracks that have been bounced from one machine to another.

or, sell the two four tracks and buy a cassette 8-track. those things can't be too expensive, cause there's so many other options and cassette it pretty much a dead format for years now.

but yeah, not really a good way to synch two four tracks.

I guess you could maybe sync them by striping the tape, but you'd need a sync box and you'd have to stripe one channel on each deck, so in essence you'd only have 6 tracks to work with, which almost renders it completely pointless.

I'm also not sure how well a cassette would cope with bleeding of the code (assuming you're not talking about reel to reel) but I doubt it would cope very well.

even if you had time code on one track of each machine, how are you gonna get the machines to give a shit and do anything about it? how are you gonna convince a cassette 4tk to lock with another machine based on time code? I don't see any way to do it.

and at that point, why aren't you spending all that money on just buying an 8tk? doesn't seem to make much sense.
