Duly noted. I think it's remarkable how "finished" the Studer makes the track sound. It catches excess snare hits in particular and really smooths the vocal. The Otari is more neutral, but thin. I think the MCI gives the cleanest - very hifi.
Personally I've always wanted a ATR102, but atrservice charges near 10k for those.
Do you have any thoughts on the 1/4" vs 1/2" 2-track debate? Also, I notice the Studer very much has its own 'tone' (bassy, not very 'open' like an atr). Do you find yourself adjusting your mix approach to compensate?
