Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

The 234 is a 4-track.

Although the 234 would probably be fine, I'd go with the TASCAM 122 (with the high speed option) or any one of the TEAC C-series machines with high-speed recording. I have both the TASCAM 122 and the TEAC C-2x & the high-speed record quality with good tape stock is outstanding.

The 234 was actually designed for musicians to do 4-track demos on. Quality-wise it's pretty comparable to the others, but not primarily designed as a standard recording deck. I don't think the 234 operates at the standard cassette speed at all. Only 3 3/4 IPS. So, you wouldn't have the option of using the normal speed with it. But you would with the 122 or the TEAC decks. That's one big reason I'd go with the 122 or the TEACs.

Cheers & good luck,
Bobbo :-)
