tried to PM you but the site would not let me

re JWO

hey Aron thx for the laugh about the 16 channels on the 8 track or was it 8? Mine have only ever had 4 but maybe you are counting left and right as separate tracks!

I've seen quadraphonic 8-track systems before. RARE, but they were out there. Could have been something along those lines.

Four tracks x 2 channels gave 8 tracks for standard tapes.
Four tracks x 4 channels gave 16 tracks for those rare quadro tapes. I want one of these setups in my Vista when I get one!

Hey Jeffrey..... How you doing?? It's nice to know you're still around!

If four x 2 = 8 then why does four x 6 = 16? Seems like it should be four x 4. I admit I know almost nothing about music producing equipment. I barely understand how Edison's machine works!

Jeffery:
Glad you got a laugh out of it; memory isn't quite what it used to be, so don't remember how many channels/tracks/quads/etc. it had, just know it took a bit to get back to " Ol' Black Water, Keep On Rollin' "! LOL!

'cause I can't type worth a crap. Quad is 4...
4x4=16. I fixed my post above.
Might as well add another, laugh, eh?

Don't worry Jamesbo, it's not our fault. Back when we grew up, we were told to learn the 3 R's...Reading, riting, rithmatic. Only one in three words is spelled correctly...and these were our teachers

Lady72nRob71

I only see one misspelled...

71 Cutlass

Hahahaha...you see Jamesbo, not our fault

If i know what you mean and you know what you mean than is it wrong?

I have one of those quad stereo systems... It was made by Clarion.... One thing you have to remember is the tapes are recorded differently from the standard 8 track.... My system hasn't been used in years and is stored away, but IIRC the quad system tapes are recorded using 4 tracks per channel therefore you only have 2 channels versus the standard 4 channels on the normal 8 track player....
