Also, FYI Green Day owns a CLASP system and IS recording analog again.

yeah if digital recording existed back then, almost all of these would not have been tape, it's what they had, not an option. the only band i can imagine still recording to tape are the chili peppers, who still do btw.

also this video is very biased and green day do not record to tape,

tape is hype, it's how you use it that matters

[endlessanalog]

@RacismIsSchism Obviously you have not had any real experience working with great analog machines. There is a reason that Abbey Road owns CLASP and has it installed in Studio 2. and Also, FYI Green Day owns a CLASP system and IS recording analog again.

@cortezforever But the whole point of that is: there is no wrong way to record. Some producers dont like to use compression when recording or any effects (even guitars) (when recording ot tape). Tape likes things, flat, dry and clean.

@cortezforever "vintage sound" is this: It is was recorded (slave machine), then copied with a second slave, then mixed adding the sound of the mixing board, then mixed-down to tape, then that master tape was copied and sent to the mastering lab, where it was introduced to a board, and another layer of tape. .......Then is was sent to the record cutter who added his own compression and eq to it.

@cortezforever That is true. Analog tape much like Polaroid film can capture anomalies.

[cortezforever]

If i work with software vst's and record onto CLASP tape and then to protools would that be the correct procedure to get the vintage sound?

[cortezforever]

@analyzingfunny There is some kind of ambiance when i listen to things from tape, it's almost like the aura of the human body, you know it's there but you can't see it.

Besides recording in analog, they had great songs and arrangements! getting a clean recording is important but it's what your recording that IMO is more critical.

The Queen song, We Will Rock You, was recorded on a Stevens Two-Inch FORTY EIGHT track. It just goes to show you what a piece of tape about the size of a cassette track (there are 4 per unit) can do; with the proper electronics.

@Watcher3223 In the tape era (which was digital tapes for as far back as the end of 70's to early 80's) it was known that a good distortion (see saturation in actuallity) was nothing more than 4% above the VU peak point, after that you were truly bringing in more artifacts that musical ones. I'm probably one of the few here in the 35 years old and lower that actually worked with 24 tracks strudder in pro studios ;)

With the availability of sales means now available, many joe nobody can become hit stars done in their mothers basement, even if less quality. But it also gives the chance for a lot of good artists to actually live off of their trade, which was a lot harder to do in the past.

Now truly the end.
