That's why we all love analog! (video)

Ah! OK, I get the picture a bit clearer now. Less wear and tear on the ATR and less tape to use as well as the flexibility to play with the different speeds or different machines within the same song.

Still I'm left with the feeling that the ATR is on Dr. Frankenstein's bench and its DNA is being whored off to the DAW master and once done, there is no real analog multi track master to go back to. You're locked into however well the analog to digital conversion and storage of the waveforms got accomplished and that's that.

Interesting!

Cheers!

Yeah that's definitely true. It's only going to sound as good as the converters can do for you. However, I think most people would agree that it sounds a heck of a lot better than going straight to digital.

I was looking at a video about this studio buying a CLASP and I got the impression that it's been out for about 6 or 7 years now. Over 7K is a lot of money to spend.

The official release of the CLASP system was back in September of 2008...most of magazine reviews are within the past year or so.

Makes me wish I documented my 6 hour drive (12 hours round trip) up to Ann Arbor for my tape machine!
