Re: 1/4
Hi Chuck,
You'll have a TON more low end-that's for sure!!
I don't want you guys to get the Impression that I am "Anti-Analog".
I'm not at all.
But for Home recording, Competing with a 2" format 24-track at 15/30 ips, I think Digital is the way to go.
I love quality Analog; I'm just finding that all the horro stories I always heard about Digital (well maybe it was all just early Digital) don't seem to apply.
(like recordings being "super sterile" sounding-I think it's a matter of What you put into it.
And ofr me, since I'm an experimenter ( I just LOVE to play with sound, seeing what kind of strange/original but USABLE sounds and effects combinations I can come up with.
I remember years ago, trying to create an "underwater" effect-a unit that actually used water in it!
I destroyed several spring reverbs for parts. needles to say, it didn't work, but it was exciting trying to come up with something!
I'm still trying to build a REAL plate reverb.
If I ever learn how, and can do it. I'll assure you that you guys will be learning how to build your very own plate reverb! Hahahaha

Since your used to the larger tape machines,
do you think there is much difference between
a 1/4" vrs a 1" machine ? I'm switching from
a 1/4" eight track unit and going to a 16 track
1" machine next week. I havn't heard it yet, but
I'm switching for more tracks only. Do you think
the quality will be much better ? I'm concerned that
I'll want to redo all my previous work, instead of
just transferring the tracks. The 1/4" has done
a great job for me.
