Hey, been looking for a portable 8 track, maybe even a 4 track. I know that Tascam is a great brand name and have seen some 8 tracks here:

Anyone got any thoughts on these, the Tascam portable 4 track is less fancy but is even more portable for recording anywhere.

Just want something for writting on the move really, I can add effects afterwards and haven't really got any really good microphones which I know I really should get too. Perhaps some advice on 1 good mic to get would be useful too. Not too expensive though!!

Many thanks
