The first real recordings that I was involved with were back in the early 80's using a friends 4 Track real to real. Earlier than that, I would use a series of tape decks and bounce between them.

My first digital recorder was a Boss 532. Then I moved into Sonar.

I had two cassette decks for duping dead tapes. I would record a rhythm on one, play it back and bring in the new sound using splitters for overdubing, recording on the second.

This may qualify as "serious", but here goes.

I had an old Grundig reel to reel in the late '70s. It was stereo and had sound with sound. It also had the green "eye" tube that acted like a VU meter. I bought it used and used it for five years. Can't remember why, I had to leave it behind when I moved to California in '83. Around '93, I had an opportunity to return for a visit and bring along an ADAT. After 10+ years, the Grundig worked like a charm. I was able to transfer a bunch of old tapes to digital. I've been "remixing" some of the tunes in Sonar.

Can't believe I'm reading this.
In my mid teens (1968 or so) my folks owned a Grundig 3 in one comprising Radio, record player and this same or very similar tape deck. Ours could be used as a 4 track with sound on sound or stereo.
