Digital 8-Track Recorder

[IOWNU200]

I was considering buying a digital 8-track recorder with my band. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=rec/search/detail/base_pid/240281/

I looked at this I was thinking that with this we can record our music (guitar,bass,drums,vocals) onto this and that there is a memory card. And then we could put this memory card into the computer and then we could put the music files on the computer. Is my understanding correct? and if so would you guys think this a good purchase, and will the item above be right for it?

yeah thats pretty much correct. Only thing is you can only record 2 tracks simultaniously, i.e at the same time. So if you want to all record together you may have to get a mixer and sub mix some stuff (email me fenderman3@hotmail.com if you dont undersand).

Also you'll need some mics and a mixer to get a drum sound happening. Email me if you want recomended models and whatnot.

anyways, catchya later.
