Would it still be a mistake today? I know it was VERY expensive, but the modern ADC and DAW workstations seem to have recovered from most of the early digital evilness. Well, 24/48 smells of ADAT, which has thankfully been obsolete for nearly all of this century. To my ears, current 24/88.2 stuff sounds fine. Those old 24 and 32 track desks were expensive to maintain themselves. Too many moving parts, issues with alignment and bias.... > I used to use a tape-head saturation emulation plugin, but it wasn't as > good... Funny how the emulations don't seem to match up with the old LA-2 compressors and tape saturation. I would think that it could be perfectly matched with enough DSP power..... -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
