I've been recording music for years now. I started on a 2 track cassette recorder, moved up to 4 and then 8 track and then graduated to digital recording in the early aughts.
These days, I feel that I'd like to take a few steps backward and get back to using tapes and analog equipment. A big part of the reason I've been considering this is that as I age, computer screens and other backcloths monitors have begun to seriously hurt my eyes after as little as 20 minutes, which really isn't a lot of time in which to get things done. Another reason is that I'd really like to see how much I've learned and how well I've trained my ears and I figure that by removing the visual component of modern recording, I'll be able to rely solely on my ears, which would be awesome and challenging.
My question to you all is, what might you recommend for someone who has experience in recording but only rudimentary experience with analog gear? Obviously, there may be a learning curve, as far as setup and maintenance and this, I don't mind. I would, however, not be upset with sacrificing a little quality for ease of use. I've got outboard pres and comps, I'm pretty much strictly interested in hardware recording equipment.
Thanks in advance for your advice and opinions.
