Hit Me Baby One More Time - odh does Britney

[Geir]

Bitch to mix though on the Zoom since there are two banks of eight tracks and a switch to jump between them

Luxury! My BR-864 has two banks of four tracks

Luxury! some of us have mixed 20+ tracks on the mbr

[FuzzFace]

Four guitar tracks - one acoustic, three electric (two of those stereo)

Now I will expose my ignorance.
How/why would a person record an electric guitar on stereo tracks?
Is that for panning?

How/why would a person record an electric guitar on stereo tracks?

You need to use two tracks if you're using a stereo effect on your guitar. If I'm not mistaken, the only stereo guitar effects on the original Micro BR are the tap delay and auto-pan (see page 71 and page 75 of the Micro BR manual). But other recorders have a lot more stereo effects (chorus, doubling, flanger, harmonist, pitch shifter, etc.) You can record stereo effects in mono if you want to, but they sound much better in stereo. Try it!

It's for stereo effects like anything with a flange or a chorus.  Adds another dimension to the sound (literally).

Despite acquiring a fairly significant amount of boutique effects pedals off of eBay over the last 6 months, I invariably just go to my Zoom G1XNext pedal, which is a digital effects processor with a stereo out, where I can usually get just the sound I need quickly.

Saying that, one of those stereo tracks wouldn't have lost anything in mono (crunchy one at the end).

I was reluctant to press play.

I was bummed when it stopped.

That's the mark of a good cover.
