Multitrack Audio Tape recording or MDM
If
computer recording and
DAW's
are too expensive or complicated for you then multitrack tape recording may be a
viable option for you. Multitrack tape is one of the cheapest options for home
recording but be
warned, the quality of a cassette tape recording has a weaker
and less accurate frequency response than DAW or Computer recording. Tape
recording is a bit less complicated than Computer or DAW recording but can be
slower and more tedious at times. This is probably the best option for musicians
who don't like computers because it allows for manual control of most functions.
Four or eight track recorders are available for a few
hundred dollars and are usually stand alone units with very primitive preamps
and circuitry. They can make a rough demo or capture that idea before you forget
it but they aren't much good for a professional recording in most cases. Eight
track just means eight
separate inputs allowing you to separately record eight instruments and keep
them apart adjusting or removing each one at the users whim.
On the high end are 32 track MDM recorders for several thousand dollars which
are more in line with what the professionals use. Many professionals like the
sound of high quality tape recording for mastering due to the tape warmth
associated with tape machines.
Also be aware that copying a copy of a recording as
opposed to copying an original recording can seriously degrade the quality so
always copy from the original tape.
