The belief that a product sounding as good from a FOUR track studio as from a
THIRTY-TWO track studio is false. In order to lay down as many tracks on a
FOUR track, one is required to do MANY more overdubs. Each overdub will increase

the noise level 3db. above the noise level of the previous track and will
also contribute quite rapidly to frequency response degredation. Overdubs are
considered taboo in modern recording technology for these reasons. This, as
well as time savings, is why THIRTY-TWO or more track studios were built.
The time savings are not trivial when you are doing an album project but the
added noise from multiple overdubs can be considered a MAJOR reason for 
MULTI-TRACK recording.
