Yeah I agree with you, the cool part is allot of the programs out there have “Tape Simulation” that you can use and works not perfect but good. At least you have a choice which is a plus in my book. With the tape sim in Sonar 6 you have a choice of tape speeds 7.5, 15, 30 ips and of course within that there are more controls.Aramism said:as long as good outboard gear is used and an engineer that knows what he is doing i think you can get away with getting it to sound close. there is a warmth that physically incapable of being reproduced digitally that tape saturation adds. its just physics. however it was proven that like digital stuff has high res stuff that tape don't have, but it's the lack of hi res that makes tape warm.
I suspect the last DT album is all digital, just for one reason really. The video that came with the special edition, showed them in the studio and they were using a computer you could see the wave files on the computer, this was while tracking BTW.ytse_jam said:I was wondering if bands which pay so much attention to their tone, like Dream Theater, still record the basic tracks on analog devices and then digitalize it all or if they record straight digitally.
