Which MCI machines are the newer ones?

I've been recording myself and others through an m-audio interface for a few years now and I want to start transitioning to working in actually studios. I'm not in a rush and want to learn from the bottom up.

Which make/model of tape machine is best for learning?

Thanks!

blues especially. I like to hear jazz combos too though.

So, I've got a list of great music stores to go to. What about live music Sunday - Thursday? Any hidden treasures and "must see" things happening? May 18-23

Thanks

what is "voicing" a piano?

bad pitch often makes me squirm...this past week I recorded 12 songs of vocals with a friend of mine. He writes really great songs and has a good voice but his ear just consistently hears things a few cents under. I believe he hears flat as "cool tone" maybe. Like when you play a bass that is down a...

I know what I said sounds ridiculous but listen to "Heartbreaker" and try to imagine those songs with no "tape hiss/noise" underneath them. It would sound like it was recorded in a vaccum and very unnatural, at least to me. And the recordings themselves don't sound anemic, they have depth. This hiss...

I've just talked to a studio I'm cutting drums at soon and they said they'd hook me up. I'm recording a project that is going for an Ethan Johns sound and everything we've tracked sounds good but a bit anemic without that hiss underneath it. I would love to work with tape but I don't have the money ...

As for plugins, all I have is Vinyl and it doesn't come close. I'll check out Freesound. If not I guess I can bug the studio I'm recording at soon to just make me like a 20 second loop or something.

I'd really like to add a track of tape hiss to some digital recordings I'm doing but every sample of tape hiss I can find off of CD's that I have won't loop right. I've seriously tried every crossfade setting and they are all audible. Does anyone have long .WAV's of pure tape hiss samples that they ...

is there anyway of acurately measuring an average level? Someone mentioned monitoring pink noise above....is there like a set procedure or anything? I know it doesn't have to be exact but why not get really close to that 85db range.

heck start one...maybe start a magazine too. haha

I really want to ask you guys some other questions but I just feel like we are hi-jacking the tapeop forums. Maybe they can start us a new Forums called "People who read Tape Op and like to take pictures but are unsatisfied with most other photography forums online and would rather talk to audio peo...

My mom's old pentax MG. It's an SLR and I've been trying different types of film. Currently I'm shooting Kodak Tri-x 400 B&W. I haven't tried developing myself but that is in the future. I'm like brand new at all this so that's about all I can tell you about my "rig." I'd just like to be on a forum ...

i shoot on film and so i don't know if that's really the place for me.
