A buddy of mine has a Roland 8-track hard disk recorder and has been getting VERY cold mixes. I've heard a lot of good things about the Roland units and know of the "coldness" of digital, but wanted to know what my options are when I go digital in the next year or so.
I know using as much tube gear (preamps, compressors, amps, mics, etc.) will help, but I also understand tubes are not a replacement for the warmth of tape. Are there currently any filters or plug-ins which specifically address this digital coldness? How well do they work? Anything that can be downloaded specifically for the Roland?
Or should I just resign myself to purchasing a half-inch eight track along with any hard-disk recording gear I buy?
I would appreciate any info.
Thanks,
Stinky
