I used to record stuff on a last generation Teac 8 track studio recorder…DBX, double speed…I recorded the title music for a TV show, mixed it to my Nakamichi BX300, and dumped it onto a SONY Mini Disc for the TV studio's digital needs. Did my recordings sound great? Well of course they did! Now I'm like everybody else with MAC based blah blah and my 8 track and NAK languish in their boxes in the basement. Now I mix concerts and record them onto tiny digital gizmos with no charm to them at all…except the music part.
