Re: Tape Poll
I fly out tomorrow to pick up my Otari MTR90 mkII and Soundcraft 1624. I have already bought one reel of GP4 and one reel of 499. I'm stoked to get it up and running.

Re: Tape Poll
Once in a blue moon. I'm mainly Protools these days, but occasionally I'll do a project that uses 2" 24-track (not at my place, though) or 1/2" 8-track.

Re: Tape Poll
1/2" 8 track here, plus two 1/4" 2 tracks and one new/old 1/4" mono. we don't even have a way to do digital here at all and have to borrow a masterlink or something whenever a real project comes through.

Re: Tape Poll
I use a 1/2" 8 track as of a couple of months ago. I've got 4 reels of one pass 456 tape lying around to get me through the cold spell.

Maxell ADAT tapes, but I guess those don't count. Ask me about IDE drives!

Re: Tape Poll
I tracked the current project on GP9 2". Overdubs have been done in Pro Tools and I was planning on transferring the mixes to 1/2" analog, but that seems to be put on hold. The sad part here is that I may go a different mastering route with this knowing that the fabulous 1/2" machine at the Mastering Lab won't be part of the sound on this...

Re: Tape Poll
I still do a decent amount of analog at my place. Clients still request it a lot.
Have them bounce through it in real time as part of the signal chain! I've done that with Jeff at Peerless on some stuff and it works quite well...Jeff Robinson wrote:I tracked the current project on GP9 2".

Re: Tape Poll
1/4" 8 track, 4 track cassette, 8 track cassette and bog-standard stereo cassette (tracking live to that). Also 1/2" 8 track (pete's T-30 -?-). Mostly 4 track and stereo cassette though. For the fun, convenience, perversity and hell of it. Computers still scare me, and I don't give a shit what anyone says, they DO add several extra layers of difficulty and complexity. The mechanical realm is more fuck. Reasonable, maybe. More "there." Ah bollocks I dunno. I suppose I just missed the boat. The respective gradients of the learning curves are probably pretty much the same for PC based stuff and for tape based crap. Whatever.

Re: Tape Poll
1/4" 8 track (on a Tascam 388) and cassette (a Yamaha home hi-fi seperate).
I'm making contingency plans to move up to 1/2" (8 or 16 track) should ATR or a revived Quantegy fail to come out with anything like 457.
