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.


Gotcha. The calibration problem is still there however. Not every studio
will operate at the same level.
So get out that little tool and calibrate like there ain't no tomorrow
(because there probably won't be one soon).


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


I'm sure that doesn't sit well with clients.
