I think there is definatly something very profound about the analogue sound of real to real as opposed to ADAT. When you record digitally every millisecond of time is accounted for and everything inbetween doesn't exsist. When you use tape, there exsists another dimension of time. Inbetween

One comment, one question: This list certainly has a lot of traffic lately. Does anyone on this list think that, for music created exclusively on computers, or even with external equipment (to the tune of synths, drum-machines), that pressing the tracks on vinyl preserves sound quality that

I had this notion that part of the reason I liked the sounds of analog tape and vinyl was coz they recorded EVERYTHING. The atmosphere included the inaudible range of frequencies that we still respond to. Certainly the old CDs would cut those frequencies out (space or something). Is this still the

how did the producers in the early days do their recordings??? with a 4 track or straight to 1/4 inch? What kind of effects did they use?.. i'd love to be able to attempt to recreate some of that feel. peace, mike [aentrikate]

another 2cents on the subject- i disagree with the notion that analog recording captures everything, and this is what makes it sound warm. Magnetic tape stores the sound on tiny magnetic particles whose polarity can be changed by the record head- the precision of which is probably pretty

I agree, but what I was really trying to get at is the possibility that there exsists another dimesion of time space, possibly a parrallel universe in the physical recording of sound or even video. Instead of tranfering thought onto a binary platform of zeros and ones, you are actually creating

I'd rather listen to lo-fi tracks with tape hiss, tracks that have emotion and trying, than to listen to these clinical super produced 909-kick tracks. Talking about which... I know these two are not Detroit artists, but are there any Detroit artists doing such a great and interesting job as

I think you really put your finger on something, Steve. There *is* something between the sounds in analog that is missing in newer digital recordings. Even listening to old 1930s jazz or gospel type recordings, there seems to be something else there. The sound is sometimes terrible, but other
