I'd like to spend money on equipment to do this rather than rent studio time (which runs from $25/hr and up...). Has anyone set up a multi-track system that can be mixed down? Tascam (Teac) has a "Porta Studio Mixer/Cassette Deck" for around $1300., but I'm a little wary re: the sound quality (it has a 4-channel head). Any comments? Recommendations? Also--I appreaciated the discussion on piano miking--it was very informative! //bob disclaimer: Columbia University is in no way related to Columbia Pictures, nor to Coca-Cola, who owns the latter, but we do stock the soft drink in our refrigerator here...thank you.
