How does this not have a million plays? You guys are hilarious :D Thanks for the insights ✌️

So happy that in these times I don't have tape machines anymore. Hail daws! Hail digital arrange cutting!

indeed, they are pretty sweet

I was looking for a video exactly like this. I’m not using tape but I am trying to emulate the workflow using a computer and outboard mixing gear, and this answered all the questions I had

this video is really funny informative and weird at the same time :D never seen such a editing style! really funny and nice

Hello from Westchester, NY. I've always wanted to record to tape, mainly because of workflow; I like the idea of committing to a sound rather than tweaking it in the mix later. In fact, for my home recordings, I gave up on using computer DAWs and bought a Tascam digital multi for this reason. Nothing kills my vibe more than staring at a computer screen for hours.

That's awesome, I know a lot of folks who feel the same way. Check out Boy Golden, he records at home with an affordable tape machine and has brought some of this stuff into the studio to mix :)

So nice!!! ;-) Good luck boys!!!!

I have been floating through the internet for years... but I think I finally found home. Be my planet please

This is my new favorite video 😂

Super cool

Looks like a really nice setup. My home studio also set up for tape. Actually that is all I have, I don’t have a DAW or anything else at all, a Stephens 821b and an Ampex 440c 1/4”. The 821b is very stable and doesn’t take a lot of maintenance. I do most of my edits by bouncing between my 2 track and the 24 track using a Lynx synchronizer. It takes a bit of time but moving notes, lines, verses is definitely possible.

I'm using an A800 mk III (24-track) and MTR-90III (16-track). Just got an m79 as well (16 and 24 track). Have a bunch of mix down decks, including ATR-102 (XIRON penthouses, 1/2"), A80 mk IV (1/2", with discrete electronics), and an m79 (1/2"). Are you using a Quad Eight console?

Awesome! It's not quad eight but a Sphere eclipse C which is from the same lineage. Great console!

I would be interested in recording to tape. But cartoons have taught me that it's semi frequently used by villains to start villainous fires of villany. Have you taken appropriate measures to prevent such things from happening?

It's often hard to know when and where such villains will appear and what form they will take. We have taken the precautions we can.

It's a good medium for real musicians, who can actually play, particularly when they make decisions up front and commit to them. It's probably not so great for what a lot of folks do these days, which is closer to data processing than music making. I'm a moderately good musician (once good, slowly becoming good again.) I have to use a computer, but I treat it like a tape deck. I try to record everything with effects and processing and 'automation' (or manualomation as I call it) all committed to. No editing, and no MIDI if it can be avoided. Will it be as inhumanly slick as something edited to death on a computer? No. but it'll be me.

Question: When copying/bouncing from tape to tape and again to tape, does not the sound quality deteriorate to some degree with every copying process? 🤔

@nofunclub2604

4 ай бұрын

Bouncing from one tape to another ads noise every generation yes, but we don't really ever do that here aside from going to a 2 track master tape. Going from tape to digital doesn't add extra noise though.

How about mix recall on the console ? (Trick question, sorry, I couldn't resist !).

@nofunclub2604

Жыл бұрын

The answer for me is, avoid having to recall as much as humanly possible, commit wherever you can , move to the computer when it's neccassary for the project😆. No artists really have time or budget for recalling these days even if they say they do, that's been our experience.

@@nofunclub2604 Thank you for the reply ! In the 'old days' there were several attempts to make recallable consoles, and perhaps you've heard of people taking polaroids of the console settings in a vain attempt to store settings photographically. Interesting that time a a determining factor these days. I go back to the days when people like Brian Wilson would spend weeks in a studio on one project. Also the Beatles, etc. Different times ! Best of luck to you ! Bill P.

Albini worship aside...you guys have Burl conversion, so you know that with today's UAD pluggies it is actually not necessary and is still kinda a pain in the ass...unless you go narrow format. Long live the Revox B77!!!

Haha I'm really not sure. Maybe Rob can answer

People have a problem with it because mf's don't explain how to hook it up they are petty that's why daws existed because engineers and producers where very petty back then. It was competitive the more people didn't know how to do something the more it was easier for major studios and producers to thrive. Now the older producers and engineers are upset because people can easily find out how.

Hope you guys are still kicking .
