Hi. I am thinking about getting one of those in the future. I am sure I would want Studer but they are too expensive for me. I want the deck to be able to record on 7.5 and 15 and to play on 3.75, 7.5 and 15, both half-track and quater-track tapes. I would be recording from vinyl making compilations and listening to studio recordings whenever I could get them. I would be prepared to pay to have it properly cleaned aligned and calibrated. I actually never delt with RTR, but in my heart I am a tape man not vinyl man. What would your recommendations and advice be? I would appreciate any input based on knowledge and experience.
Yes Atmasphere, 1/2" was great to work with, not to mention the sonics. Wouldn't mind haVing a deck in my home. Even though I'm only in my 50s, I grew up in the analogue world of 1 inch 24/48 track recording. If I had my way, studio sessions would still be recording to 1" tape. What a wonderful sound. There are a few engineers who have returned to analogue recording/digital mastering.
