Multi-track recorders enable you to record several separate sound sources, at the same time or individually, and then play them all back simultaneously (this is known as a Mix).
This recording approach has many benefits: By recording each instrument separately, you get the opportunity to capture each musician's best take. You can also apply separate effects, panning and volume to each track, and even carry out editing on individual instruments without affecting the rest of the recording.
Refined Digital Recording
Multi-tracking used to require a humongous tape machine and a highly-skilled technician. However, thanks to the wonders of digital technology, the music is now stored on a Hard Disk or Memory Card (like Compact Flash or SD), and today's units have displays and an invaluable Undo button, making the latest generations of recorder small, light and easy-to-use - perfect for home recording!
We have two categories of digital recorder - Portable and Hard Disk. But all our recorders are so small, that when we say Portable, we mean "it'll fit in your coat pocket"! Check them out now and forget about that expensive studio time you had booked…
