Going Old School

[nsureit]

Here's a sample of my Fostex using only two condenser mics about 20' in front of the band. Pardon the sound guy for using so much freakin' reverb - not quite sure why he did that. I'm playing keyboard on this.

It is tape in every sense. The signal is digital rather than analogue but the recording medium is a tape in a cassette. I replaced my DAT tape recorder with a mini-disk so I could have more control over the indexing.

it's not tape in the sense of getting the 'warmth' that people use analog tapes to get. It's digital and sounds like digital. I have one BTW. Nice unit for field recordings.

It is reasonably portable, and the mic preamps are like gold.

See, I'm a keyboard composer! Since the "i" is next to an "o", it's easier to type than 1 and 0

What keyboards do you play?
I have a Yamaha EL900, technically a spinet organ, which has now passed its 14 birthday but it still sounds great. I am looking at the Roland Juno Di ('cos its in my price range) mainly to give me improved samples.
I record directly into a Fostex MR16 HD/CD. They work well together.

Anything Fostex is Old School, ATM........................

Sure it is, but I'm just a hobbyist that records our band of grumpy old men for giggles. I don't need new fancy stuff, and the old hardware is just plain old fun to use.

Our band uses this.
