This was tracked on an Otari MTR-90 mkii 24 track, through Golden Age Audio Project pre-amps and then later API pre’s for the final overdubs. Tracked entirely on tape (except for one guitar solo that needed to be redone on track 2), and mixed digitally in Pro Tools. SYNN - One Punch at a Time...

I made this post SO long ago. I was 21 years old and loving the analog sound. I can’t answer for Wildflower, but when I eventually got into an MSR-16 I used a Tascam mixer, a Mackie 32.8 that I didn’t really like, and eventually a Soundcraft Ghost 32. I still have the Ghost, although it’s...

My band SYNN recently finished a song recorded on an Otari MTR-90 mkII and a Soundcraft Ghost, with the occasional Golden Age pre-amp. It's a purposely cheesy song about how much I love heavy metal called "Ready to Rock." https://soundcloud.com/synnfromlynn/ready-to-rock

Ghost - say it ain't so! What's up? All the best, MD

You could use a Tascam MIDIizer as a transport control, and I believe for track arming as well. -MD

Great story... good luck with the refurb! -MD

Hi there, Normally, if I were shopping around for a sound card for a computer, I'd avoid a USB sound card due to the latency issues. However, it's been a LONG time since (10 years?) since I've considered recording with a computer, and even if latency were still an issue with the USB interfaces...

I used to really like that tape. Tape Works Texas had a ton of it years ago. It sold for around $25/reel. -MD

You can probably get a decent amp for $300 that will be fine for shows, but may not be suitable for recording, as you'll likely get a better tone by recording your bass directly through a direct box. Many amps now have a direct line out, which may save you from purchasing one. Still, when it...

What a great setup! Nice job! -MD

Hey all, This isn't about analog information, but it does deal with cassette tapes, so I thought it was a fun read: New cassette tape could hold 47 million songs - CNN.com Have a nice weekend, -MD

Kind of a funny side story... I was on tour with a band called the Protomen, helping to make a documentary film about their travels. Along the way, my wallet (along with all of my identification) was stolen, and I needed to fly home from Seattle with no ID. It is possible, but they will ask...

Sounds great jharv!

Great stuff! Is it possible to buy on vinyl or tape? -MD

Sounds like a good demo! If they take some time to do overdubs, I'm sure it could sound even better. -MD
