Ive been given a college assignment to research the necessary and best equipment needed for:

1) Analogue recording studio
2) A Digital Recording studio

equipment list must include

-multi-track recording system
-multitrack recorder
-Monitors
-Microphones (Dynamic & Condensor)
- A:D & D:A converters / interface

So here's the big question, what's the difference between reamping a digital signal through an analog reel-to-reel machine to obtain analog compression and color, and recording directly onto the tape and digitalizing that signal? What's the best way to go?

hi everyone,

maby u could help me choose a good analog mixer with at least 4 preamps and di out for each channel?

I'm going to use it for recording by plugging it from the di out of each input to channel 5-8 on my 002r!

so please let me buy the right mixer :p

hey, i was wondering if it would be possible to buy 4 channel analog mixer with direct outputs?

then I could plug mic's into the mixer and use it as preamps, then connect the direct outs for each channel to input 5-8 on the back of my 002 rack and mix the session in pro tools?

Hi, well I wanted to try out the analog tape experiment, so I went out and bought a Tascam 32 1/4" reel-to-reel mastering analog tape machine and started experimenting. Oh my god it's so perfect! In all my 4 or 5 years of experience recording in the digital domain I've never EVER come across this type of sound, it's like having human ears as a recording system, I couldn't understand it!

Heres a Question?
I have been recently moving toward using more outboard gear when tracking.

Hello all,

Hello,

These look promising:

Countryman E6

I'm buying a 24channel 8 bus console in 2 weeks and I'm running Cubase sx, untill now i have just used a 8 channel mixer with the stereo out running into my soundcard.
