You can only record 4 tracks as stated above, if the reel to reel is 4 Ch 4 trk...I dont see how you could do that with a consumer 2 ch, 4 trk reel to reel.

I have a vintage reel to reel that plays 2 track and 4 track, and it records in 2 track...the frequency response in 2 track is greater by a wide margin. There is a reason that commercially prerecorded reels are so much more expensive that 2 track.
