When the heads on my 8 track Tascam wore out, I saw the handwriting on
the wal. Replacing the heads was going to be VERY expensive, and the
last few years have seen 1/2 inch tape go in and out of production. l
took the plunge and went 100% digital. It's a whole new world, and
I'm loving it. I'm even enjoying re-learning recording, which has some
differences from tape. First rule: Saturation BAD with digital
recording. With tape, it could be used to advantage. No more. Minus
12db is your friend!
BTW - there's a guy making really good U-47 microphone replicas for
about 2k. I mean REALLY good. Once you get seriously into recording,
microphone collecting becomes a companion addiction...
I'd love to get my hands on an old, working reel to reel tape deck with
sound on sound and sound with sound.
