To me the only good quality of in the box is ease of use. Not that it is better than tape but easier to use. Tape has a quality that people try to copy but can't. But yes tape takes more time to use with set up and no instant recall. But for sound quality I will go with tape everytime.

So, I got about one minute into this and realized that none of this matters. At all. Tape can sound great, it doesn't require a computer, I dig the rewind time, only people who can actually play and sing get to use it, etc.. Tape is, for many reasons, the superior workflow.

The big question is why has the music written in the digital era, been significantly poor on average when compared with the analogue era? Might just be coincidence but maybe the better music in the older era, was due to having to find solutions and workarounds to the drawbacks of tape, which led to "happy accidents" and unusual results and richer more characterful music. Digital just removes most of the obstacles.............any quality you want, any amount of tracks you want etc. So no happy accidents or workarounds for the most part.

@Kevlar Absolutely. I once had a long tiring session recording, and I was unhappy with a guitar solo. I spent a long time near the end of that session, trying to digitally splice together a better solo using different cuts from various takes. This was not to my liking, so I decided to end the session, give my ears and mind a rest and come back the following day. Come the next day I replayed the original unedited take, and was blown away. I saying to myself, "how did I not hear how perfect this take is!". Just because digital recording gave me the ability to piece something together artificially, did not mean it would be better than the traditional one take method.
@EgoShredder2 жыл бұрын
@Kevlar That guitar solo was done using a Marshall JMP-1 into a 8008 Valvestate amp, 1960A 4x12 cab, Yamaha FX500, Yamaha RGX321 with PAF Pro humbuckers and stock single coil, through a AKG C3000 (original model). I had better mics in the years after, but that AKG is better than most give it credit, especially on guitars!

I use the Fostex E2, is this considered 2 track or stereo? Would you also speak to the pros/cons of center track TC?
@AudioMasterclass Жыл бұрын
Regarding the E2 or any similar recorder, it could be used for stereo or two separate tracks. But to be properly stereo it would need a 'butterfly' head with a narrow guard band. This wouldn't work so well for 2-track because of crosstalk. The E-22, if I remember, was the version with centre-track timecode. I never used it but I used other Fostex sync equipment and it worked very well, particularly considering the cost which was low compared to the alternatives. Regarding pros/cons, if you need it then you need it. DM

Thank you for the clarification. There's a point in one of the videos in this series where I say clearly that if you like tape for its sound, then use it. If you can tolerate the problems then that's fine. I like the sound as one possible alternative among all the many effects and processes that we have available electronically and digitally but I prefer to put the problems, and the cost, behind me. DM
