tape is amazing....
it has a 3-d sound to it that can find its way to vinyl,
but never into digital in my opinion....
i love watching the circles....
people who would only work on pro-tools 3
years ago are now working only on tape....

i would like to buy a second A827
there are three tape manufacturers right
now.
i have tape from all three here today as i write this
all can be readily purchased in nyc every day

i don't take records seriously if they are not recorded on tape: i don't like
to think when i listen to music - digital makes me think - it reveals itself
as digital very quickly - tape sounds like a record

i also prefer sounds coming from tape - i would lock to pro tools if something
needs something - fly everything analog that can be analog - dumping something into pro tools also means dumping
all of the space and largesse and dimension....

it is a great time to buy a tape recorder if you think you are going to be
involved with making music for the next 5-10 years.....
the studer has not caused 2% of the headaches that the hd2 system has.....



be well
