Notes From the Editors
Analog Tape is
Back
AES shows seem to move in trends. A year ago, tape was
pretty much declared dead. Well, fuggitaboutit!!! This time around, tape
seems to have made a resurgence; not necessarily in terms of recorders,
but new tape sources. Quantegy showed a full line of studio products,
with GP9, 499, 456 and a range of digital, from DASH to ADAT stock.
Those whose tastes run to Euro flavors were pleased to see RMGI showing your
fave Emtec formulations, beginning with 1/4-inch SM911, and followed
later with SM900 and others. And ATR
Magnetics -- a spinoff of Michael Spitz' ATR Service Corp --
offered a preview of its lines of pro analog tape in all widths that
will begin coming out of a new state-of-the-art facility in the months
to come.
This tape revival is great news, especially for those of us who crave
that fat, sweet sound of analog tape. We are lucky to be in an industry
that can choose from a rich palette of tools -- both new and old -- to
work with. Just don't forget to print alignment tones on the head of
your next project!
