Reel to Reel

Say, Norman,

...the most fun is getting a couple of good mikes and recording small venues of jazz, folk, and chamber music. UNBELIEVABLE how good these masters sound.

I'm there with you! Did you record 1/4", 1/2 track, 15 ips, IEC?

Best,

a better analogy would be a Prius verses the Concorde.

transportation for the masses, verses as good as it gets.

Hey, Vernneal,

It just might be FUN to take it out of the closet :-)

Best,

This week a friend sold me about 200 pre recorded tapes that look like they are from the 50's and 60's, mostly classical (most of them appear to be 7-1/2 ips 4 track, but meaning 2 tracks in 2 directions). They are good labels, everest, rca, mercury, columbia, vangaurd, some odd obscure labels etc). I've had some decks in the past but haven't had anything for some time, after reading this thread and the other thread on rtr I couldn't stand it and bought a nice tascam 34 locally (well maintained unit in a local home studio). With the tapes and the deck I'm into it about $360 which to me is a great deal considering what that breaks down to per tape (with the deck thrown in). I just set it up and it sounds wonderful and is a great to have this library of material to explore.
