it's amazing that he can't see that.
Some people will disagree politely with him and he calls them names and then feigns ignorance when they get mad.

Either he's a troll or an example of an old dude whose lack of knowledge about 'putters extends to not know anything about 'net culture and BBS's.
I'm calling troll.

These are the kind of analog/tape threads that make a lot of people view analog/tape guys as nothing more than a bunch of old farts stuck in some 1970s state of mind and not able to learn or willing to accept any new tricks.

Professing love of analog gear and tape is one thing (I certainly do)....but when people start tossing out purely subjective views based on very limited, general understanding of the technology (need I mention the staircase), and also talk about tape as possessing almost mythical properties, so that anything that hits it will automatically be lifted to audio nirvana status...
...well, it's no surprise that folks on the outside looking in laugh at the old fart tape guys.

Not to mention....when I see guys who are using cassettes in their tape SOP, and also talking about audio quality in the same sentance...then I know people on the outside are ROTFL.
I mean, I can understand using cassettes for that lo-fi, cassette sound....but for the love of tape, please don't wax poetic about any audio quality and no audible distortion. :rolleyes:

Oh wait.....were not supposed to talk about tape in this thread from any intellectual and/or technical perspective.....sorry.

Yeah and obviously you are one of them "old farts" that run people away because, you got all the right answers. and you not only offend me when you say that cassette can only be "lo-fi" ....NOT TRUE. I have recordings that were mixed down to 1/4" half track 15IPS down to a 3 head cassette deck without dolby that could pass for records right now. NO AUDIBLE (cant hear distortion) DISTORTION....CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN :listeningmusic: but I probably want share them on this forum because of critics like you....I don't believe everyone here on this HomeRecording.com forum wants to turn every conversation into a circus as people like you like to do. and as far as this that you said and I QUOTE:

"but when people start tossing out purely subjective views based on very limited, general understanding of the technology (need I mention the staircase), and also talk about tape as possessing almost mythical properties, so that anything that hits it will automatically be lifted to audio nirvana status...

I know you didn't get that stuff from me cause for one thing for sure is that I have more than a general understanding of technology. As far as the "staircase" analogy/illustration I admitted I didn't understand all of that and really don't give a dam about the technical jargon. In the old days of our fore fathers of recording engineers, the saying was "HE HAS EARS" !!! and that's what it took too mix a good record and like it or not... that's still what it takes no matter if I know what a wave form is or not. So don't be pointing fingers at me that I started this post to "get back at" that post that Jimmys69 closed on me cause that AINT so. This was suppose to be just an innocent little post of how exited that I still am over how CLEAN analog tape can sound and in hopes that others would share there enthusiasm also.....peace :eatpopcorn:

Well look who's name calling!?!? You calling me ignorant?? Troll?!?! and by the way I had misspell'd miroslav the first couple times,but after he kept on and on with his shit I went ahead and kept it as "miroALAVE" cause he seems to be a slave to his own intelligence :eek:

This is not an analog vs digital thread... it's a TASCAM MAN vs Analog and Digital thread. Obviously nobody on the digital side is EVER going to agree with what he is saying. At the same time, although he is trying to 'praise' analog recording, he has outspoken opposition from practically all the highly respected analog recording regulars on this forum.

I find it very embarrassing that this thread is attracting so much attention from around the site and people are interpreting TASCAM MAN's arguments (what arguments?) as representative of the Analog Only subforum. This thread should have been closed at post #20... The last 150 posts have been nothing but completely illogical arguments and insults from TASCAM MAN.

TASCAM MAN:

You claim that you hear no distortion recording to cassette and then when someone tries to explain to you that what you are saying is completely illogical and provides a 100% logical rebuttal, you say that you don't care about technicalities, that no one used to look at the specs back in the days and they used to make good records using their ears and that you are correct because you 'use your ears'. Are you saying that anyone that demonstrates more technical knowledge of recording than you doesn't use their ears??

I didn't read anywhere on this forum where someone has insulted you or demeaned you for being ill-informed in the technical aspects of recording but for you to be so ill-informed in even the most basic understanding of a logical argument, to be so intimidated by every person that disagrees with your views or corrects your statements and to subsequently resort to blatant insults is unacceptable trolling in my opinion.
 
+1 It is an embarrassment to the analog forum. It is serving no positive function.

Mods: Please do what needs to be done and flush this turd down the toilet.

No more closing threads. That kind of thought policing is misguided and hardly helpful to any bbs trying to compete in the current social networking landscape. Whether a thread is useful is a matter of opinion. If its entertaining maybe that's useful enough.

It must be raining everywhere, like it is here. Hmmm... I wonder if the dark days are causing an early February... because a lot of the talk sure does sound like February-talk.
 
Yeah....my commment about "threads like these" wasn't meant to suggest it should be closed.
I agree...let it flap out in the wind with all its raw glory....and yeah, entertainment value is always high on my list. :)

Now look who's name calling....and that's definitely NOT serving a positive function :rolleyes:
 
Its all good. I wasnt referring to you, but rather the thread.

My mistake. I didnt realize that this was a social networking site when I registered. I thought it was a technical discussion forum for those with an interest in analog recording. My bad.

Peace. Im done.
 
Ok, STOP.

With all do respect to everyone here, this thread has gone off topic (big time). It was not intended to be a analog/digital debate.

The fact that it did go there, (likely do to other threads that ended up merging to here) does not mean any of us should be having fun here, at possible offending of the members of the 'Analog Only' forum.

It is named 'ANALOG ONLY' forum for a reason right?

Can we all just take a step back, and direct any animosity towards a specific point/protagonist, and not continue to stain this particular forum in the name of any arguments?

Please?

Jimmy

I do not wish for any thread to be closed but I am really close to doing it here, and editing the hell out of it...

Yes, there is a buttload of misunderstanding/myths here... Sigh...Ok, just try to stay away from personal ridicule and boobies maybe? :D

There is a place for boobies. Usually everywhere, but in this context...well it was quite out of context.

I like boobs too, and I have my own opinions of things I know to be fact.

The point is; do we need to do this in a forum/thread that did not ask for this? Trust me, I know....
