hey everyone...
im new here, sad to say...
i was using ADATs and computer based programs for too long.
till i remembered the true way...ANALOG
man o man.
something struck me the other day. i was listening to some projects i recently recorded and they lacked a little...life...punch...FATNESS
(you can see what i mean here - - - just a couple songs from a hardcore band i just recorded)
www.angelfire.com/indie/robotquality/samplepage
not that its bad, just missing something.
then i remembered about magical tape mmmmm
you can push the levels and it sounds BETTER!!
no more snap crackle pop digital distorion there
(i wanna kill those little elves in my computer)
ALL THE KIDS NEED TO COME LOOK AT THE ANALOG POSTS!!
almost EVERY pro studio uses a 2" tape machine. thats what every album those kids want to record like was done on...and tape machines are DIRT CHEAP compared to when they came out
(maybe im just biased)
ANYWAYS
i do believe using analog for tracking and protools for editing is the most productive and efficient way...you can put it in a computer but you cant take the magic away! right?
so as for right now i have my mind set on a TASCAM MS 16
thats the 1" model...i might even drive a day and a half to pick one up in nashville
sorry im ranting...
im just VERY excited and VERY mad at myself for forgetting about TAPE!!!
i hope you guys can give some advise along the way cause my mind is so wrapped up the digital domain i might not fare too well at first (head cleaning, alignment, demag, spooling, storing etc..)
please forgive me for not seeing the true way sooner
THANKS!!
