Is anyone still mixing to 1/4" analog tape
Saw a Revox B77 somebody is selling.
Looking to turn it around. Is there still a market for these things, or is everyone now mixing to digital? -A. |

There are still people who will use something like that as a signal processor, but I think that most of the shootouts mixing to tape and through a digital chain have been fought and the conclusion now is that you might as well use digital. There will always be a couple of holdouts, but they'll be more likely to look for an Ampex ATR-102 with 1/2" stereo heads to mix to rather than a Revox B77. -- For a good time, visit http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

I don't know if the B77 exactly counts. I would urge you to avoid the B77 because there are a number of common failure parts that are no longer obtainable, like the switch assembly. But I am seeing prices on Ampex machines rising up again. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Some years ago, on TV, they conducted and experiment, maybe with (6) participants, to see if people could tell the difference between analog and digital recordings, same music/songs, just different recorded formats. Average, 50% of the time the participants were correct!!! In other words, no, human hearing isn't that accurate! Jack |
