Let's not forget that the majority [not all, but the majority] of tape rolled has always been on "label" projects... the kind with "a budget" that can figure the cost of tape into that budget... it's only us guys who do "self budgeted" or "indie" recordings that will feel a bit of a sting from $289/roll... especially if you figure you'll need at least 4 rolls for an album if you're rolling at 30ips.

On the bright side... if you're rolling off the 2" into a digital storage medium then you'll only need 1 roll... and $289- for that kind of effect processor probably isn't all that expensive [if that's the effect you're looking to achieve].

Peace.
