I took this image in analog studio in Helsinki in 2004 on 35mm film.
The way it used to be when you’re in analog studio. You can’t imitate STUDER digitally, live music must be recorded this way (on tape, multi-track) then vinyl release is a pure magic. It depends on the genre of music, but when we’re talking about Jazz, Soul, Rock i can’t even imagine digital recordings, it wasn’t there when the best stuff was recorded. Magnetic tape is a part of this music. Everyone who wish to be authentic in these genres normally record on tape. Some people/musicians simply can’t afford their own analog studio or can’t properly play to record in one take. Digital is easy to edit and this is why digital recording exist in the studios (imo). Analog is superior and every recording engineer can explain why.
