That one is similar and I do check it as well... but only aloud to record 1 track... so is not basically a multitrack... well, yeah, descriptions are similar... thanks dude... the Fostex is easy to edit on the machine?

My first experience with recording was with something like this:

But that some things to be desired, so after being able to pee in the toilet, and after learning guitar and wanting to record my ideas, I got this:

Anyway, my experience is that software on a home computer is the way to go.  These portable studios are great for getting ideas down and jamming, but when it comes to arranging and adding effects, these things don't do it for me.  Plus software gives the added bonus of using the vast array of plugins available on the web.

Hi guys, I'm about to make a good investment in buying a reasonable good quality of multitrack recorder. I really wanted to keep it away from PC software, so I found interesting gadgets that I can buy... so I ask the experts... do any one of you have experience with this kind of technology, is it that user friendly as they say? is it really good quality sound? I'm checking out the 8 track recorder of Tascam and all seems like a good piece of work... here is a pic...
 
 
Advises, ideas, anything...? please, feel free to share your experience here... thanks and good luck...
