Very cool history on Sam Phillips / Elvis' sound and slap back echo. I've always wondered what Ampex 350 was about. 

The subject of our next webinar, on aspects of tape and reel-to-reel recorders, is recording using a multitrack tape recorder. From 4 to 24 tracks tape is back in the studio, so we at Reel Resilience thought we'd better talk about it! More information about the webinar, who we are at Reel Resilience and how to book, can be found here.

Hello

Hey all,

The UAD Studer A800 has seen a lot of hype in the last few months and I thought I'd make it easier for people to evaluate its sound by offering a comprehensive set of sound clips. Please listen to 96 sound clips here:

Are any of the "old" reel-to-reel tape recorders, either semi-pro or pro, 4,8,16,24 track being made new? Even if it is in China!
thanks, Shindog.

they say that Terry date who produced successful CDs of limp bizkit,deftones etc... used tape for recording or tracking.

therefore i was interested in tape recording.
but i am absolutely novice about tape recording..therefore i didn't buy any tape recorder...
BTW i found the following link... the element is that magnetic tapes is better store format than burned CD

hi all,
so many questions so little time. .

Im curious as to how good analog tape can sound. i am currently on the look out for a analouge 16 track or 24 track for my studio.

can you guyz suggest some reliable brands,low noise etc & things a analog novice like my self should look out for when purchasing a second hand tape machine?

Hi,
I've just bought a 24 2", and need some suggestions on tapes. Unfortunately I don't have the possibilities to test all different brands, and the only one I've worked with was 456 on a Otari MX80.
I work mostly on rock tunes.

Any suggestion. .bias? calibrated to?
