Somewhere in Space
Alright,
I should have posted this in the computer recording threads,..
But, I want the opinion of my fellow analog home recordists / engineers.
Everything I record is pretty much recorded on cassette, or R2R 1/2 inch tape.
My whole catalog of music made by me, is on these formats, with the exception of a couple handfuls of MD Data discs recorded on a 564...and a couple handfuls of DATS, and ADATS.
What I want to know is,...
How most of you guys transfer your tape to the computer?
Do you burn to disc, and then upload from there?.. or send the tape straight into an interface, into the computer?
Does this make a difference sonicly?
Anyone have any opinions on this?
Maybe a stupid simple question,..but I have alot of people asking me to upload my music into the computer, and I just get aggrevated with the whole process. I would much rather, stay in the analog world,...but unfortunately,
by todays standards...it's almost manditory...to get the music out to people wanting to hear it.
I have a very hard time tryin' to bring myself to do this.
I do have a pretty "low end" interface, a Tascam US-122, which has rca inputs, 2 -1/4 inch inputs, 2 -xlr mic inputs, and 2 - 1/4 inch inserts.
Like to get some feedback on this, if anyone is willing.
P.S.-
By the way,...everthing is mixed OTB...with minimal mastering. (which means I donot spend a whole lot of time on it - mastering)
Throw it in my Alesis Masterlink,..compress and limit.
