I would take a a Studer 2 inch tape 24 track reel to reel over any digital thing this world will ever make!

That aside, & sticking to the subject- never choose a cassette porta studio over a digital porta studio. If you use a cassette porta you will have to buy many other things to use it to do anythng cool with it at all...

This means you have to buy a seperate compressor a seperate multi effects unit.. a seperate cassette deck to mix down to stereo. Attention - Are you adding this up? And the portas are priced the SAME...

I have submitted music to (majors) that was recorderd on a cassette 4 track porta studio. You need all that [naughty word removed] and a submixer - if you wanna use more than 2 MICS at once..

Don't forget you can only bus 2 tracks at a time remember? YOU can ONLY USE TWO MICS
Track 1 left -Track 2 right -Track 3 left -Track 4 right...

HELLO! If the recording of your songs means very little to you, use your 2 track regular tape deck and stick a microphone into it ...

hmmm! I don't remember my porta studio having phantom power so make sure you use a 57 -or 58 or what the heck a radio shack mic..

Cause now you can't use a condeser microphone!

This can not be debated game over..

peace
