How is analog recording done, so that it is digital? One track at a time, analog and then into the interface? At some point the interface needs to be used, but for what? And how much?
Yes, this sounds like what I am looking for.Another way is to track through the tape machine to the DAW in real time. This requires a three head tape machine so you can playback from the reproduce head while recording on the record head. In this way you’re only using the tape for the tracking pass. It still getting whatever non-linearities you are after from the tape to the DAW along with your source content.
Lots.Yes, this sounds like what I am looking for.
What models of 3 head tape machines are out there?
Could I use my Fostex A8? It is locked at 15 ips , and only 2 head 1/4" 8 track machine.
If I record analog instruments to that A8 off the Mackie mixer bus, it does not sound like the digital recording. It sounds analog. Nice. The sound I am chasing.
How would I use that in the DAW? Just record a track while monitoring the DAW. Then play it into the DAW through the face?
Edit- I tried it to see if that does make it sound analog. It seems to be what Im after. Really coming round full circle. Back where I started . 1/4 inch.
