When did you start recording music and how old were you?

In the late 70s... using this baby:




You could record two separate tracks on each sides of the tape, and play them either independently or simultaneously: making a two-track mix... oh boy, many, many hours spent with this box. And THEN if you got two of those connected: the endless stream of mix-downs and bounces. Each adding a glorious veil of magnetic hiss ;-)

i started playing with tape recorders (my favorite toy back then) when i was 9 and a couple of months later was trying to sync two mono recorders to do stereo (by pressing rec at the same time on both)
at 13 i was bouncing between two recorders ,at 14 i got my first fostex 4track and by 15 i was working with midi and drum machines, at 19 i was working at an ssl-g equipped studio,at 22 decided to make my own personal studio.. adats, daws and you know... i am a week from turning 38 now!

recorded my own metalcore band in 94 (when i was 15) with an old crappy 8 track mixer (i forgot the name) and some crappy microphones we could borrow straight to my marantz 2 track cassettedeck (wich i still own and use for playback of old tapes). I played bas and was the 'engineer' at the same time, so ...

anyway, that demo did deliver our first concerts:-)
