5Ok but which is the best way to expand them?I usually record in the 4track then from the 4 track to a tape deck and then again in my 4 track.With this way i have 2 more tracks.Do you know a better way?

6I know that you're against digital, anyhow, digital is the cheapest way to go. Maybe you can get another 4 track and sync them together? or maybe sell the 4track and buy an 8track?

8I don't know. I don't know if it's even possible. I guess you should google it and see.

9You're being kind of vague.
If you are alone and tired of mixing down, go for an inexpensive digital eight track.
If you are recording a band or something, record many instruments onto one track. Like, all the drums mixed into track one, then all guitars mixed into track two, etc. etc. Do it right away as opposed to later. Will require being nimble with the mixer and probably a bit of planning ahead.
If you're getting too cluttered and you are sick of getting it all down to one track (and I could see why you would be), you're better off upping to a better recorder. 1/2" 8-tracks are usually quite nice, but stay away from 1/4" 8 tracks unless you like everything really thin (some will disagree, just from what I've found. Don't really see the 8 on a quarter thing as too much of a problem).

10i know ebay is not a good solution for buying stuff but search for tascam's 488 mk2... 8-track that can record on 4-tracks at one time then you can bounce them and so on... anyway i haven't seen a higher price than 280-300 bucks for it... (i'm not very happy with the frequency responce but it's cheap and it's got 8 tracks ) and........bored wrote:Ok thats funnybut if you dont have enough money?
i agree with eliya that digital is the cheapest way to go cos with the same 300$ for the 8 track you can give some more and buy an audio interface like the tascam us-1641 witch has got 8 mic pre's (and many more stuff) and can record on 8 channels at once instead of 4 and your pc will have many many many more channels than 8 track... but you know my opinion on digital recording stuff...
