My home recording endeavors started in 1972 with a portable cassette deck and a second borrowed cassette deck. I would bounce between two decks. I had to balance the overdubs by positioning the microphone between the new source and the cassette decks speaker. Very primitive.
Around 1975 or so I purchased a Sony three head reel to reel deck. I would bounce back and forth on the tracks adding additional parts. Only the most recent track was usable as the previous track would be slightly out of sync due to the distance between the record and playback heads.
In the mid 80's I used a Yamaha MT44 4 track cassette deck and later a Tascam 414 4 track cassette deck.
At the end of the 90's I went digital, first with a Boss BR-8 and then a Korg D1600 in around 2007.
I currently record using a PC laptop and Reaper as my software. A Steinberg UR242 is my interface.
