Hi,
Question for the audiophiles and tekkies.
Background: I'm a cassette 4 track recorder, but hybrid would describe me best as i tend to record instruments on cassette, transfer to DAW then record vocals and mix.
I'm trying to get the vocals to sound a bit more like as if they were recorded to tape. So what frequency bands do you recommend should be scooped or boosted to get there. I know we're already sitting on the fact that cassette range is 20Hz - 18KHz (ish)
I'm already cutting frequencies in that range, adding some saturation and compression...but yeh, boost lower mids? scoop some highs?
And yes of course, no need to jump on the "every tape sounds different" & "every machine will sound different"...lets talk some averages.
