The vocals are much less relaxed live. The 4-track I used only allows you to do one track at a time, which means I had to sing a long to the songs over the headphones. I personally like the live sound better where I vocally actually have to compete with the guitar for dominance.
The main thing I don't like about the 4-track is how separated everything sounds, like every track is being performed in a different room. It doesn't sound like that live.

It's because you probably don't know how to use a 4-track very well.
If you want to maximize your sound, why not get a 10-12 channel mixing board, plug everything into that, and line out to your 4-track???
I guess you'll learn this with time. Just a suggestion.
