Re: Every live sound engineer should spend a little time in a recording studio.


I had forgotten about the smell of 2" tape. I always liked it as well. One of my good artist and producer friends in the business used to say, "I always feel like we are really making a record when the 2" machine is rolling." I had several formats available at the time but the high end projects were always cut on 2" tape at 30ips. Several hundred dollars a reel and good for about 17 minutes but man oh man what a sound! Everything always sounded better coming off the tape than it did going in.
