For the sake of saving money and/or life/art of creativity... have you ever tried bringing the tracks into the DAW afterwards and messing with them to get them to sound more forward and or varied in presence etc? Many many great sounding records were done on cassettes. Some of which show almost...

Going on and on about this is practically preaching to the choir when done in this particular forum, but its insane to think of what the target audience is for this plug-in. Anyone with decent money and studio can afford a tape machine. Also, i think anyone with decent background in recording...

No human being on earth would hear a difference between the before and after if it wasnt side by side. Think about that. The musical examples provided were all the most generic musical creations possible. If you are writing like that, you have bigger problems than whether you are recording...

Awesome setups, everyone! That includes both the all analog and analog/digital hybrid ones. Digital/analog hybrid setups are already spawning some of the most creative and best sounding art of this modern era. These guys use analog synthesizers with CPUs and the result is astonishing: Modular...

You are all impressive to me. I dont have anywhere near the level of patience to do any of these things. In order to do any of this stuff it would take me hundreds of hours and recording even simple demos would be insanely difficult and time consuming for me. It would be impossible for me to...

mics Is that a shure unidyne III 545 on the guitar amp? Ive got one. Sounds pretty cool.

mixer I have no experience with those mixers so i cant say anything about performance. But the thing looks awesome. You are about to have a very epic setup. I look forward to hearing your recordings!

Dr Zee Hopefully i didnt seem like i was being a jerk about you Zee, i like you. So much so that i was forced to use my first emoticon in that post (the smiley), so that it seemed less serious tone. Hey man, im all for analog over digital. But decent analog equipment thats been hyped can get a...

Dr Nothing brings Dr Zee out from the shadows like digital products that claim to imitate the "magic" of analog. :) Ive owned real and fake tape echos. There are only three differences worth noting: 1. Fake tape echos are 99.9 percent good enough and will, not might, WILL fool every single...

thats it Thats the point im trying to make, is that claiming its untested when you know its broken is basically lying. Its true nobody is forcing me to bid, but i wouldnt want that on my conscience (selling people things that dont work but justifying it as "buyer beware" merely to lessen the...

age Enjoy it while you can Allen. There is no life after youth.

hm Hm. Its on the tape guides as well though. The one between the erase and sync head seems unevenly worn in the same way. Nothing major if it is there, just something to think about and adjust/acknowledge if it truly is there. Second pic down.

head Does the sync head wear look a little uneven or is that just the reflection?

haha That sucks to hear. Back when i was using cassettes with a 4 track they were everywhere. Too bad when even cassette tape is becoming rare.
