Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Just 8 Tracks, 1", tape. Are you brave enough? (DAPTONE)

Ya know, I remember when I heard "The Wall" was tracked on 48 tracks and thinking "What a nightmare! It's a four-piece band; how could they ever need that many!" (I think I was using a Tascam 80-8 at the time).

Oh, if I'd only know what was in store! 8 may be a little slim for my taste now, but I swear if I didn't print subs or effects, I'd rarely ever need more than 16.

I'm glad to see Daptone (and the earlier White Stripes stuff) doin' it with 8!
