tourtelot Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh, I SO wanted a B77 in my youth. I had a Ferrograph Super 7 2-track which was quite a machine but it wasn't a Revox. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Neat! (Converts price from Swiss Francs and realizes an album is $400+ each). No thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 In the age of free downloads I quite like the idea of having a few favourites on such a format, especially if original recording were analogue. In a way its a bit like 'how many times will I listen to a particular tune' vs 'how many tunes have I downloaded'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgoodin Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I somehow don't miss the Wow, the Flutter, The joy of stretched tape and flaking oxide. The "whump whump whump" of a flattened pinch wheel. Not to mention the tape hiss and muffled sound of a misaligned head azimuth. Analog, May it rest in peace. "Warmth" be damned. Sorry analog, we get our "Warmth" now from lossy compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I imagine maintaining the gear is a big part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjafreddan Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 My half-inch Studer A80 master tape machine sounds great! 😉 Built like a tank and a furtiture in my control room. Plug-ins are not 100% "there" yet sound wise. Actually I miss the wow and flutter, at least the wow, helps gel the music and harmonies together. Do I roll much tape? Unfortunately not, that has to change... :-) Cheers Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
