I don't have much experience of tape sound quality, but I (and the rest of a choir) did record something with Nana Mouskouri onto 2" tape. I agree, it sounded great in the studio, but when I listen to the 33rpm LP, I wonder where it went.
Anyway, as music is sold and listened to on Cds now, it must go digital. Also, digital tools permit low budget ("a few grand") musicians to aquire and work on a complete vertical set-up, thus having complete control of each stage of their music creation, and even selling. OK this means we can mess up our music at any of the stages, but if we don't, the final result can, in my opinion be quite sellable! Particularly if you use PT and can get a pro to use his PT to tidy it up. I only use the sounds I record with my own mic (soon to become plural), with no midi and no sampling, and my ears say the sound is good. Will I lose it when it goes onto CD? Don't know yet. Somebody is going to prove you can do it from home on a small budget, and I'm sure it will happen soon. I'll be putting my music up for sale on the web next year, and if it doesn't sell, I bet it won't be due to the quality of the sound. Hey, everybody! You must believe, in some corner of your mind, that you could do it. Otherwise you wouldn't be here! Why don't we have a vote? Oops, more work for Mr Webmaster! -------------------- Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)
