Do I need a Multitracker?

ray104	Date: January 9, 2008 @ 10:06 PM Do I need a multi tracker? for my studio? If I want to record songs.

zedsalt	Date: January 10, 2008 @ 10:47 AM It's not an absolute necessity, I suppose, but there is SO much fun to be had with a multitracker! Even if you're only recording "live", having...say...your voice and an acoustic guitar on separate, discrete tracks opens up all kinds of possibilities. And y'know, people just aren't accustomed to hearing recordings of one voice without any kind of (at least) doubling. If you're liking what you're hearing in the room much, much more than what you're hearing on playback, a lack of "fleshing out" may be the problem.
