i'm a protools user and i'd kill to go back in time a bit.

what's the name/artist of this song?

[r2studios]

Song is from the current Aha album 'Analogue'

[dhampex]

I can smell 2 inch and coffee together at the studio,, reminds me of back in the days you can smell that combo in the studio. Analog will never die!!!

This is indicative of real craftsmanship and quality... two things that have been lost in the new world economy. The other thing that's been lost is real sound quality.

I feel sorry for the MP3 generation. They have no idea of what quality audio sounds like... audio with real dynamic range and punch. Most (not all) of everything nowadays is limited at -6 dB, then maximized to the point of sounding like crap.

@trilogypart3 I hear ya dude im 16 and im a stricly analog audio kind of guy and all my friends dont understand real quality. and the people my age who buy vinyl just get it to be cool indie kid.

I'm proud to say that I own one of these :)!

[eyeheartchrist]

I'd love to get my hands on that, or the Otari MXR-90. sigh....it's only a matter of time I suppose.

[hattree]

Seeing me reminds me of the creeping cheapness that infects all things in life. Quality exits as quantity takes over. I've never been able to understand why everything must be reduced to numbers.

@loradora132 Today's 'home studio' equipment has incredible capabilities. If it sounds rubbish then it might be being used properly. Tape is dead, very very expensive and it is almost impossible to tell a good digital recording from an analogue one. This is a nice machine for archiving as 2" 16T is very rare now but is so impractical for a session.

@pazzensutra RMG International is alive as it can be making awesome tapes from different formulas of know use so yes you can still buy tapes, and yes I overhauled my Philips machines and started using them again with RMGI tape and it sounds better than before!

[hubzcaps]

@pazzensutra sadly true..i cant recall any 2 inch retailers or "specialty" stores...i feel bad..but man the heads on this machine are great!! i think i still have an old 2 inch 2200hz test tape to zero the machine (: memories!!!!!!

[pazzensutra]

Beautiful. Y. Malmsteen said you can't buy tape for these things anymore. Is that true or not? I would drop digital in a second if I could get one of these things.
