hahah, to be fair to garble he didn't say it was on a four track (he just said cassette), so i'm just being anal...

I've got a Tascam 414MkII, and I started pissing about with it a couple of years ago. When i first started, I went on an on-line binge read, so i've read around... You see, if I'd actually done something substantial, like writing songs, I wouldn't have been able to give you such glorious posts.

No, I mean.

Take a look at my location.

We're both from leicester?
I dont understand... do we know each other?

That was done on a badass 4-track. Probably a Studor. The old ads comparing Sgt. Pepper to the Fostex X15 were misleading.

I'm pretty sure it was an Ampex.

I'm pretty sure we don't. It's just that...

Well, Leicester people are a rarity on the intrawub. Especially on messageboards like this.

You'd almost think we had no idea how to operate computers or recording gear

Ah cool, I get ya... by the way if you go to De Montford's recording school, then chances are, I can see you out of my kitchen window... heheh

DeMon U has a recording school?

you schooled me on Nebraska! (hehe) i had initially read that it was done on a 4 track reel to reel deck in his house. i guess not. pretty fucking amazing! it sounds really good. definitely my favorite springsteen album along with born to run. has anyone seen the dvd with the box set documenting the making of born to run? it is so cool. pretty amazing that he could spend so much time and money in the studio making an album and then turn around later and pop out Nebraska built largely off of four track demos.

Aw, shit. I've never seen that article before. Thanks. You should pick up that record.

I didn't even know they made 8 track cassette machines.

Oh yes

Tascam 238 (rackmount), 488 and 488 Mk II

Yamaha MT8X and MT8X mk II

And I think Ross made a rackmount one as well
