Elliott Smith

''The (first two solo) records were totally limited, and there was no choice about what to use Then I got an 8-track (Tascam 38) and I had a choice between a couple of different mics.

The link lists Jeff Stovall's recording credits for the album "Roman Candle". To see the reference of to use of the 4 track in the liner notes for Roman Candle follow the "more images" link under the album image from the Source/Proof URL link. That particular 4 track was a Tascam Portastudio 424.

''He wanted that board because he knew there were only thirteen made and The Beatles had worked on it'' - Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing

"'Cupid's Trick' still remains a mystery to me, tracking-wise. I've found what sounds like the original acoustic guitars and drums on a DA-88 digital tape, but none of the other elements are present."

Elliott Smith used the Ibanez AD202 effects processor during the recording of his album "Either/Or" in 1996, as shown in a user-uploaded photo on Tapeop.

From Tape Op interview by Larry Crane with Elliott Smith and producers Rob Schnapf and Tom Rothrock on the recording of Either/Or.

Tom: “In other cases, like the song "Alameda," the drum mics were mixed together live through the Mackie 1604 to one track live as they were recorded, with compression from the Behringer Composer added at the same time as well. Knowing Elliott, I'd speculate that he did test passes of the drum mix until he felt it would work well in the final mix. "Alameda" was also dumped to 16-track at The Shop, where some vocals were added (see Alternate Versions… for this iteration), but for the album release Elliott chose to return to the original 1/2-inch master and mix from those tracks, possibly after recording an "updated" vocal.”

Mentioned throughout article, including this one by Elliott:

Elliott: "The [first two solo] records were totally limited, and there was no choice about what to use [gear-wise]. Then I got an 8-track [Tascam 38], and I had a choice between a couple of different mics. I got a compressor [Behringer Composer] and one of those [digital effects] boxes that will make any effect that you have the patience to try to program [Digitech TSR 24S]. Most of [Either/Or] was done at my house, some was done at Joanna's house on a 4-track, and some on 16-track in California [at The Shop]. Everything sounded different."
