Timeless classic for a reason

Run tracks over tape instead of bouncing digitally, to declutter sessions, and when this procedure is repeated find a whole new vista opening, where a few cuts here and there to help instruments sit together is all it takes. Granted, it may have taken hours to get there, but now the cohesion and solidity is unquastionable. Very much a part of the way I work.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

15 IPS, new tape from ATR, weekly calibration
