+Some clients even recorded at 15IPS with no noise reduction. Crazy right.. it was a standard for many.

** You making fun of me?!? I record most projects in here on 2" at 15ips no NR. I've also had very few noise problems.


+At $375.00 per reel, the tape bill can cost more then the mobile unit's day rate.

**Well, at $375 for an hour vs. about $30 for 24-tracks of DA-X8 which run for about two hours it's a tough sell to a lot of people. Even though I love the sound of tape that could be really cost prohibitve if your recording a few shows. Just the run times alone and not having to swap reels in the middle of a song is easier. How is the audio between two decks managed? Were the outputs of the console or preamps multed to both decks?


+Every Roadrunner Record project we did was on 2", until we were hired the record Jerry Cantrell back in June 2002. I took me some time to recover from it. I could not believe they requested DA*8's over 2" analog. With 24bit @ 48K or better, many clients say, "why bother." I beg to differ, but no one is listening.

** Everyone but the bean counters... When and what was the last thing you recorded on 2" tape?
