And I want to try without computers at all till the end really. So I can focus on sound and actual machines rather than looking at it on a screen hah. I guess its a bit foolish to against his advice, since I have no experience with it especially maintainence. But Oh well hah. I will still try.

@pdmillar Ah damn, I didn't win it. I then spotted a great B77, but someone "bought it now", before me hah.
Anyway, my sisters boyfriend, who has experience with recording, when I asked if he has any (8 tracks or 16 tracks, to initially record on, in the shop he works in), he advised that it takes too much maintainence and might not be worth it if it breaks which is likley, he says. But I still may attempt this way, and I guess if it all goes wrong its my fault. But it sounds GOOD

@pdmillar Ah yeah. thanks for pointing that out. It is half track! hah.
What reel deck do you mixdown to these days?
Would you say a Revox A 77 is good for that job?

@sacredrealm Yeah, see if you can get one that's half-track and runs 15ips. Though I mixed the last album to quarter track 7.5ips on a Pioneer RT-701. I switched to an Otari MTR-10 as I wanted to be able to have vinyl masters cut directly from the master tape (doing just that right now in fact)

@pdmillar Nice. There is only a 1/4" one (at 15ips though) available atm.
Wow, on vinyl, thats awesme!

@sacredrealm They're all 1/4". Do you mean it's quarter track? I would think all the 15ips ones are also half-track. (Consumer machines used a four-track two-channel format so the tape could be flipped over and recorded on the other side, professional machines use the entire width of the tape for two channels)
