for many projects, i would rather bump the 100 hz with eq
and preserve all the detail that the 30 ips allows.......

i am curious about dolby for 15 ips......i have never used it....
they can be had for about 3 grand at this
point.......again.....the subject of dolby brings about very extreme opinions from
different engineers......

one thing i have noticed is that tape has found new fans in younger and younger
musicians......someone somewhere asks them to use tape in lieu of the box,
and without any agenda they let their ears make the decision.....music is not
virtual, nor graphs, nor statistics, nor charts of the representing medium,
or words alluding to how it sounds, but the sound itself -
the beautiful ability to get lost or found, deep in a moment......

i am pondering builing another studio with at least two tape recorders......
i believe that if twenty one and twenty two year olds can gravitate towards
a medium that they have been told is "dead", that there are decades of life
in it yet........


be well
