Thanks for that. Are there any final thoughts / conclusions? As I am a bit unsure as to which direction to go in; whether I should get a stereo tape machine, 4 track one or just to keep with my current system and keep digital.

hmmmm I do understand where you are coming from. Probably best to record to tape or keep it fully digital right?

Also, I am seriously considering this: REVOX B77 Mk2 7.5/15 ips | eBay Do it you think it is worth the risk?

I'm 100% not going for the Fostex route, its seems too complex and it will significantly hinder my workflow, but the Revox route is what I'm looking for. I'm just wondering how much this will affect my overall sound of my mix and when I 'record the stereo mix of the song to tape, play it back...

Yeah, I think the Revox seems like a more appropriate and easier option. So I would record all my instruments into my DAW and then record them onto the tape and then back again?

Thanks jpmorris, really appreciate the advice. I've found a Fostex R8 in good condition! Tell me what you think. Fostex r8 reel to reel | eBay Would I be able to do all three techniques with the Fostex because I may not always want to record straight to tape? And how would I plug it into the...

Ok thanks for that advice, so it would achieve a better sound if I just recorded straight to tape initially? And how would I do that with my setup? I got the idea from two sites: Warmer Sounds From Digital Synths (look for 'The Reel Thing') and this Potholes In My Blog » Nothing Is Absolute In...

I want to take the step to analog and buy a reel to reel tape machine to record a finished song from my DAW to tape and then re-record it back into my DAW to get that warm analog feel. I was just wondering what kind of equipment I would require and how I would go about doing this. My set-up...

Ok, raising the amp of the ground seems to be the overriding advice, I will give it a try. Im thinking of temporarily moving the amp downstairs into a larger open room to see if it sounds better, maybe its even the reflections from the walls?

Ok, maybe I should move it onto a carpet, even when im just playing, some of the notes are harsh-sounding, maybe feedback, quite muddy but high frequency. How can I work on improving this original sound coing from the amp?

Ish, some notes I play on the guitar have harsh tones, almost like a slight feedback, so not really, I guess thats the root of the problem. How can I work to fix that?

Hi, I am currently using a Vox amp with a Squier Fender Tele, and recording the amp with a Shure SM58. (as shown in the picture) But currently, when I record, I get a very muddy sound. What would you say are the main reasons for this muddiness?

Hi, I've already bought a Microkorg synth, but I have pretty much exhausted its presets. I was wondering whether anyone could suggest a next synth to purchase, under £200? Thanks

I have downloaded the Korg Legacy vsti plugin for Logic and I love it. I'm finding it difficult to find some other virtual synths similar. Does anyone have any ideas for alternative virtual synths other than the Legacy?

I was just being a bit stupid here haha sorry guys, its all good.
