It's a Tascam.
Nothing on that SoundCloud page even used 16 tracks, but if I cared more, I probably would have bounced to mult the harmonies.
I think the highest tracks used number was 14.
Way better than that Tascam 4 channel cassette recorder I had in the 80s & 90s. On that, I had to do exactly what your describing. Bouncing tracks while singing a harmony, and so on.
At least my machine ran at double speed.
