Simple, cheap 'n cheerful 4 track here.

Overview:
Not embedded because the &fmt=18 tag doesn't work when I do and it's required for the video to play in stereo.

I went overboard with Windows Movie Maker Titles.

And since youtube will compress everything, here's the original mp3 plus another recording, taken directly from the tascam no processing.

Song I made up as I went.

Cover of Flume by Bon Iver.

Good score getting that for £20something. If you're just playing about with stuff at home and recording ideas, the one input thing won't be a problem.

Yeah, I don't need to record anything live so one input is fine.

My only complaint really is that if I need to bounce 1 2 & 3 to track 4 for more tracks, I can only do it in mono.

You oculd record 4 tracks, mix them on the 4 track and then bounce to your PC. Play the PC stuff back onto tracks 3 and 4 and have an extra couple of tracks.

You can probably bounce that way on the actual unit anyway.

I was just thinking, I can hear a bass line in my head for "maed up" but I wonder how different that is to bass lines other people imagine.

Nice, I get a bit of hiss but I don't know where that's from.

The bass on that song is terrible. The Ibanez has 12s on it since I usually have it in C# for LOW FUZZ TONEZ, but I could only tune it down to A and have it almost intonate, and it goes out anyway, and I can't really do much other than follow the root note with one string.

Any shortscalers got a cheap (sub £100) bass they're looking to offload?
