Record your mixdowns to a reel to reel. Or better yet, cut it to a 78 lacquer. Fetishing old gear is ultimately as irrelevant as fetishing new gear.
It sounds like you've been listening to the wrong records. You don't have to convince me that analog recordings sound nice, but anyone who makes tinny annoying records made tinny annoying records on purpose. Either that or they lost the top end of their hearing with their heads in a bass bin. Either way, if you hear crap don't buy it. But don't blame the messenger. Most people make a violin sound really ugly too. On 9/2/06, v12 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
