"you can currently buy a 24 track tape machine for under £2000, the hiss comes free!"
The above quote came from Damann a while ago near the beginning of this topic. Spot on, dude! Mr. T, I know this is an old topic, but I only just read it. For your information, Damann IS talking from pro experience. He actually used to own an Otari MTR-90 2 inch machine. I know his studio and his gear. When he says the hiss comes free, he's talking from first hand experience, m8tey. The old notion that you're not a "pro" unless you "work with the professional quality of a 2 inch Studer on a session" is total bo**ocks. We are now in the 21st century, and things have changed somewhat. The name Apogee springs to mind when people mention Studers now. -------------------- Nobody can take from you what you give freely.
