i'm going to begin recording at sheffield studio here in maryland, and i am looking for advice to achieve the benefits of analog while maximizing my budget. I took a tour of the studioSTUDIO and spoke with the engineer. i told him that i wanted to record some songs to tape and he told me that it can be very expensive. i would have to pay like $250.00 for a 13min reel 24 track 2inch tape. he also told me that recording time signatures and punching in could eat into my budget. i was thinking that i can record digital and have all of the edits done there and when everything is the way i want it i can then have it sent to tape. i figured that this could save me some cash. these are the three suggestions that he came up with below.
A. he told me that i can record in Studio B into the Yamaha DM2000 96
digital production console, protools HD2 system and he can use his
NEVE in the mixing process to get me the analog sound that i need.
B. he said that i can record through the SSL in studio A then bring it
to Studio B to have it edited in protools HD2 and use the NEVE in
the mixing process
C. or i can just record through the SSL to the Otari 2inch tape
machine, which is the most expensive route.
here are my questions
1. if all of my tracks will be created in the digital world (Reason 3)
and my vox tracked in protools HD2 would I still get that superior
analog sound if they are mixed down to tape after being tracked
in the digital realm?
2. i've read about the extra harmonics captured while recording to analog
if vox are recorded digitally and then sent to analog will those harmonics
still be introduced the same as if the vox went straight to tape?
thanks in advance
