I remember recording with one of those as well, TF!
Those were the days!!
I used to do lots of "Track bouncing/mixing down", especially on my vocals, until i finally ran out of useable space on my multitracker
..
The dbx noise reduction was a God send for me and i used it all the time, even on the final mix down to my master 2 track recorder which became the "Master Copy" for duplicating tapes from, that my many "followers" demanded listening to, they were all my family members actually Windy
...
Another God send was swapping an old expander/limiter for a Fostex MN-15 compressor/mixer that had a fixed 6 to 1 compression ratio which was perfect for recording vocals on, it did away with microphone "technique" and i could sing at the top of my voice without creating any distortion
..
I used my Carlsboro PA for the reverb and the only other device i used was a Guyatone Chorus pedal (i wish i still had it) for guitar and vocals
..
Did you notice how literally time flies by when youre immersed in a recording session?....The longest time for me was 8 hours with a pit stop for a piss, all for just for one song, "I hear You Knocking"....Most of my spare time in the mid 1980s was taken up with recording something for myself or another person...My 2 boys were very young and fortunately never woke up during my recording times, my wife also never woke up thankfully
..
Do you have anything to tell the TimeFlipper about the fun times you had with your own multitracker?, i could go on all night telling you my stuff Windy, but i will shut up for now

I enjoyed seeing the analogue 8 track mixer/recorder used by Queen for their older music recordings...I still have my trusty old analogue 4 track mixer/recorder Windy
