Agreed, those graphs mean essentially nothing when it comes to analog.

The Ghost of FM said:The original idea of syncing up two multi-track machines was aimed more so at doing this with two 24 track machines as there never existed a 46 track analog recorder for music production work and this was the only way to go about achieving this.
Dr ZEE said:The term "demo quality" is not a descriptive but rather is a manipulative one. It's one of those terms that are being used to "guide" a consumer through endless array of halls, stairs and levels in The Palace Of Products and Services. "Welcome to The Palace. Please, stay and keep walking, there is always a higher level here. "![]()
Kasey said:how would a tascam MS-16 stack up against an Otari MX-70? they seem to be pretty similar machines. possibly different noise reduction? different... anything? Im sure theyre both good but does anyone have a preference?
also, i've heard great things said about 1/2" 8 track sound in general, but ive seen some people scoff at 1" 16 track sound, saying things like its really only good for demos.... shouldn't they sound exactly alike? Am i missing something or are people just retarded?
ofajen said:There is a lot to be said for the huge sound, superb electronics, and robust build quality of those pro machines, but there comes with it a tendency for some to regard all narrow track machines as toys. That attitude is mostly arrogance (or marketing), in my opinion. The main reason I use the wide track machines is so that I can record without noise reduction and still have quiet tracks.

ofajen said:Me. I don't want to have learn to deal with another brand of recorder.That's part of why I'm still trying to sell my Ampex machine.
