I'm about to buy some sort of digital multitrack recorder to use mostly for editing "live to 2-track" recordings I make with a Tascam 122 MkIII analogue machine. The short version of my story is this: I record a lot of improvised bass pieces using a looper with live overdubs and stereo...

I'm looking for a compact (1/2 rack width or smaller) mic preamp unit that has at least 2 mic inputs and can fit easily in a backpack with other gear for remote recording sessions using a Tascam 414 MkII portastudio. M Audio's "Audio Buddy" seems to be popular among some people on this site...

I am thinking of getting either a Foxtex MR-8 MkII, Zoom MRS-4B, or similar, if any of these machines' looping functions is good. What I'd like to do is edit a bunch of stereo analog recordings of solo bass and stereo effects by taking the best segments (30 seconds to 3 minutes in length), and...

I'm trying to figure out a relatively inexpensive way to take sections of 2-track analog recordings and "loop" them as two tracks of 4-track recordings. I create a lot of "live-to-2-track" analog recordings of solo bass and stereo effects. What often happens is that I do pieces that are 10-15...
