Just got new reel of tape here at @tree.recordingstudio and seriously, this color looks amazing. Of couse, it sounds good. New tape these days are very reliable and as musical as ever.
Now, I’d like to tell you the story before I swap to this new tape because it was quite an interesting story. I had a mastering gig before I swapped the tape today. It was for an entire album and tape was specifically requested. I still don’t know why but I felt that the “imperfect” old tape was the perfect fit for that album. So I did use it and had to sit there listening to every passes just to make sure that all the songs came back from tape in one piece without any signal loss. To explain why my ass was majestically handed to destiny, 9 out of 10 passes were not usable……That meant I spent one entire afternoon and evening doing tape passes. Thank you, destiny. That’s why I believe in density more than destiny.
Was it to brag that I know how to use tape? HELL NO!! I just want people to understand that shit happens especially with older technologies. I also want you to know that if I say I need few days to master your album, it’s not because I irresponsibly took my sweet time to work on your projects but sometimes, this kind of thing can happen and I need extra time to deal with that.
The album turns out great and I am still happy that I used that old tape. It was perfect for that album. I’d definitely promote this album when it is released.
Thank you for reading and thank you for mastering with me :)
