I powered up the 4-Track (its a Tascam by the way) and everything operates fine, although I havent had a chance to check the inputs/outputs yet. I also managed to pick up a bunch of different tape to record with (hooray for working at a consignment shop again!). Now, it is time to decide on what to record with.
For a dynamic mic, I think I am going to go with a Sennheiser e609, based on reviews, working record, and overall quality of the mic.
For a condenser, I still have no idea what to go for, seeing as there are so many different kinds and styles, I just need to get the basic reasearch (although with spring studies beginning, finding the time is going to be hard) finished.
Also, would it be better to start with a condenser mic...to give a more "warm" sound to the guitar recordings? I have yet to find out if a condenser would be better for micing an amp, since I do love the warm neck-pickup tone, and i'm slightly afraid that a dynamic mic wont fullfil that requirement.
And I'm still looking into acquiring a small mixer...but that will come later.
