By that I mean something that is capable of recording 4 parallel tracks of sound, with the ability to 'simul-sync' (the ability to play back certain tracks while recording on other tracks at the same time). A few years ago, I heard about a TEAC/Tascam cassette deck that had these features. I have not followed the industry very closely in the last couple of years, and I assume there have been advancements in this area. I do not require cassette technology, only a good cost/performance ratio for 4-track simul-sync capability. (Although I am attracted by the size and convenience of cassettes.) If anyone has experience is this area (I would love to hear from someone who has used such a deck, telling me what to look for/look out for), I would be deeply endebted. Thanks... I will summarize to the net. ===Tim Thompson===BTL/Holmdel===hocda!tjt===
