Filmic Gaze has released Field Four 1.01, a free four-track recorder for Windows. Inspired by classic portastudios, this app offers four continuous mono tracks. It supports overdubbing, punch-in/out, and same-Reel Bounce. You can also mix to a new reel in mono or stereo.

Key Features

• Four-track recording with overdubbing
• Punch-in/out functionality
• Same-Reel Bounce
• Reverse and vari-speed (0.5x-2x)
• Fixed Tape switch
• Exports 24-bit WAV or 320 kbps MP3

The recorder captures tracks as mono 48 kHz, 32-bit float WAV files. This ensures high quality for further processing. Finished mixes can be exported in common formats. The app is available for free from the Microsoft Store. It requires Windows 10 build 19041 or later. This makes it accessible for many users.

Compatibility and Availability
Field Four runs on x64 Windows desktops. It is free to download. There are no hidden costs or in-app purchases. This is a straightforward tool for quick recordings. It suits musicians, podcasters, and sound designers. The interface is simple and intuitive. However, it is limited to Windows. Also, it requires a recent version of Windows 10. That might exclude some older systems.

Overall, Field Four offers essential four-track functions without any cost. It is a practical choice for basic recording tasks. The inclusion of vari-speed and bounce adds creative flexibility. While it lacks advanced features, it serves its purpose well. If you need a simple, free recorder, this is worth trying.
