I'm going to record my band, and I want to get some oh so sweet tape sound. Without going into detail I'm using a Yamaha DM2000, a Digidesign I/O 192 and I have a Teac 80-8 and a Ampex ATR 800 at my disposal.
Now it would be real hip if I tracked on the Teac and mastered it on the Ampex. Buuuut, since everything on the mixer including the mic pres is digital. It seems like it would be too much of a pain in the ass to do everything on tape if it's not a 100% analog signal chain.
So now I'm thinking maybe doing all the tracking on PT, then dumping onto one of the tape machines.
Obviously there are a ton of different ways you could go about this. Finally, here is My question:
What ways have people had the most sucess with tape+digital as far as awesomeness of sound?
