Rec. Sequancer qustion

Sequancer qustion dont know if im posteing this in right form.
 
Anyways got importan qustion, one we probley all qustion are selfs
Now i been doing music for few years most were practice but now that im
getting more serious about my carrer i face tough qustion.Rec. Sequancer
 
Right now im useing tascam 2488neo really great for portable studio home rec.
sense im doing this in my bedroom wich kind small so it helps.
 
The qustion im really asking is should i only use my tascam 2488neo seq.
instead rec. on my drums machine seq and keyboard seq.
mean when im done rec. on my drum machine keyboard seq
im going individulally track each sound out to my tascam.
 
Thr good advantage of useing my keyboard seq. drum machine seq.
is i can organiize the song, rec. into my tascam
 
bad news i get bored easly sitting there and tracking each sound out lol
2. im going track them out one by one anyway.,
and lot us know that marvin gaye, temptations etc. name few didnt have
all these seq choice they just use one seq everythang was rec live.
and when tascam came out portastudio it was use as main seq. mostly for demo
 
So should i just use my keyboard for sounds and tascam as only seq.?
2. can i rec my drums on one track? im looking buy yamaha dd65 is why im asking 
 
im mostly looking for opions should i use my tascam as only seq
how most people on here do it? how many seqs. do you use?

    Not really sure what you are asking, marcus.  A sequencer is used for midi (tho there were analog sequencers, too).  The old guys didn't sequence anything, they played it, live as audio.  But that is neither here or there.  What is important is how you develop your workflow, not what someone else does.  If you are comfortable sequencing on a drum machine/keyboard do it that way.  Back in the 80s I'd sequence on a yamaha computer sync'ed to a drum machine and dump 4 tracks (2 drums and 2 synths) down to an 8 track analog and play the other tracks live.

    I suppose the keyboard syncs to the tascam (which is an audio recorder, right?).  At some point you are going to have to dump the keyboard into it.  The drums - are you talking about midi or audio?  Midi goes on one track (w/ 16 channels), but audio ought to have at least a stereo channel.

    And most people at this forum use a Cakewalk daw to replace both many keyboard sounds and the tascam hard disk recorder.

    hope this helps.

    Sure, you can record drums on all one track.  I think that would probably sound better recording w/ a single mic on a live kit, but I've panned drums to mono and that works fine.  The biggest problem is putting it in one speaker a lá L/R panning since it usually overwhelms the single speaker, but you can put it in the center to mitigate that problem.
