Amen to that! Sorry about my bad attitude in my last post.

Well here's one "peep" who's going to speak up for the other "peeps" in this forum. At this point, I don't give a flying f--k anymore about whether or not analog recording equipment is better than squat. Most of us on this forum will never have the opportunity or the money to own one of these...

I agree. I've always thought (and still do), that the Yamaha MD8 along with all of the other digital track recorders are fantastic machines, I'm just saying that you couldn't tell that to some people though, at least the ones that won't use anything unless it's analog based. Sure, these digital...

I own a Yamaha MD8 and I think it's one of the best machines around for multi-track recording. Unfortunately, it had come to the point where 8 tracks just weren't enough for my needs, so I upgraded to a Fostex VF160. I still think the Yamaha MD8 is a great machine, and if 8 tracks were all I...

I've been recording on digital multi-track recorders for about 7 or 8 years now, and when I'm done recording a song, I mix it down on a Sony mini disc recorder deck. I'm happy with the convenience of the Sony mini disc deck, but I was wondering if anyone else here has used one, and what do you...

I take it that everyone who has contributed their opinions on this thread has had experience with some kind of analog equipment, right? The only decent recording equipment I've ever really used has been what I own now, which is my Yamaha MD8 and my VF160. I guess I thought I was using some of...

Okay, okay, I guess I will concede then that analog tape recording, (on high end machines,) is better than digital recording. As I said earlier, I've never had the opportunity to use an expensive multi-track tape machine, so I'm just going on what I've used. Maybe someday, technology will come...

I'm fairly new to this forum, and have recently been reading up on a lot of posts from musicians/sound engineers who have been posting their thoughts and opinions on the differences between analog recording vs digital recording. I've only been recording since around '94 when I bought my first...

In what way, the clarity, the richness? I have listened to songs I've downloaded on my computer from back in the '70s, and I've listened to my own songs, and I'll be darned if I can hear a whole lot of difference in the quality. Of course, the professional songs of famous artists have access to...

Okay, so this means that since good analog equipment is no longer available to the average consumer, we are doomed to deal with digital sound from now on, and that it will never be able to sound as good as the high end analog equipment that studios used to use? High end studio equipment is one...

I was just wondering, if analog tape recording is so good, why are all these analog studios closing their doors? I mean, if the aim of the musician is to utilize the best sound possible for his or her recordings, then analog studios shouldn't be going out of business, right? Is there some other...

Re: Compressor I recently purchased a DBX 266XL Compressor Gate that I only want to use for my vocals on my recordings. So far, I am very pleased with the results. I know that some people use compressors for their final mix, but I've found that that's not neccesary for me. The only part of my...

I was just wondering if anyone here owns, or knows someone who owns an Audio Technica AT3035. I just bought my online a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with how it sounds. How does it compare to the 4040? I thought about getting a 4040, but decided to opt for the cheaper 3035. Tunes68.

For years now, I've been using a couple of cheap pensil style Radio shack condenser mics, not only for recording my drums, but to record all my vocal tracks. Just recently, I decided to invest a bunch of money into a decent condenser vocal mic, (an Audio Technica AT3035,) and I also bought a...

Oh I see. So digital is not superior in sound as analog is, it's just cheaper, right? Boy, I guess I've really missed the boat here. The one and only time I ever used analog tape is around 11 years ago when I purchased my first Fostex four track recorder, which used regular cassette tape. I had...
