I started with a tascam 4-track too. it wasn`t a 424. I guess it was a cheaper model. generally you can make good recording if you take a very very very good pre-amp (maybe an apogee duet), a good mic and treat your room.
nevertheless a 4-track is still just a cassette-recorder. so don`t await the best, it can sound muffled if your device is not set up right and if you take bad casettes. a good studio-tape machine will mostly sound better. hmm, sorry, my english is sometimes not the best. no, I`m not billy corgan, I`m from germany!
