Just kidding. But, I'm always surprised when people want DA88 archives of their shows. By the time they need to retrieve them from the archives, they'll have to borrow a machine from the Museum of Jurassic Technology to do it. |
I still get DA-88s at least 4 times a year from one of the major studios in town. Usually archived stems being revived for a DVD re-release, an M&E or a promo campaign.
Hate them Hate them Hate them.
Many times they are mis-labled, have no tones or sync pops or have dropouts all over them. They always need to be conformed to a D-5, yet they don't supply the D-5 or reference audio.
I still have 3 working DA-88s and one DA-98HR that I would really rather use as boat anchors.
