Does analog has a bigger sound? more control over bass? more punch?
I know tapes are expensive but i am willin to give it a shot. Engineers school me in please |
Its more than the questions above.
The so called "Big sound" really comes from the production and mixing engineer.
First of all not all tape machines are created equal.
If you layed the same drums down to a Studer,Otari and SONY MCI each one would sound different.
Some skew and handle the transients differently.
This is could be a good or bad thing depending on the machine.
Yeah it may beef it up(roll of the transients) but what if you need the snare to poke someone's eyes out?
Digital for all its flaws handles transients really well.
Also you can't just lay it down and expect it to sound magical.
You need the right weapons along the way to maximize the sound.
But in a different way than the way we track to digital today.
I do agree you must try it for yourself.
