Then fill the remaining three tracks, transfer those to digital, and line them up with the previous 4 tracks and so on. I care not what anybody says or claims. I love the sound of 4 track cassette running at more than double speed (the way I use then is turn pitch all the way up at all times so it runs at 4.2 ips). I can't wait to get that machine.

I was gifted a Tascam 234 from a friend and just bought some tape to start playing around with it. Would you be willing to elaborate on your experience with yours? What went well, what didn't, how did you find the process, were there issues with tracks lining up, and most importantly, how was the sound? Would love to hear whatever impressions and insights you might have.
