The maintenance and time wasted calibrating analog gear makes your
comments
mind-bogglingly stupid. You would be earning much more money per year just
by the time saved. Add up the hours wasted per year at a successful
commercial recording studio calibrating the damn machine for tape brand X
at
+3, next client brings in brand Y at +6... it is such an archaic way of
doing things that it won't take long for the dinosaurs to be long gone.

There ain't no brand Y no more. It's Quantegy or the highway. A wretched
situation for those of us who liked other tape brands, but it makes the
alignment issue easier.

Also: re-alignment for a client's preferred tape can be billable.

Peace,
