[linux-audio-user] Jack Endino on Recording, Bleach, Response curves of tape machines

[Wolfgang Woehl]

First weekend this year we/my band recorded what will be our 
next self-made extravaganza. Don't laugh: We recorded to my 
old half-inch 8 track machine because the A/D unit blew up on 
the second morning. Rock music still damaging things. In the 
aftermath it turned out that one of the Tascam's outputs had 
gone sour. So I download all of the internet looking for 
related stuff and come across

http://www.endino.com/graphs/index.html

which is a page called "The Unpredictable Joys of Analog 
Recording". It has frequency response curves of various tape 
machines and shatters 2 of my private myths about tape.

Only then I realize that this page is part of Jack Endino's 
website, the Seattle man, the engineer that recorded 
Nirvana's "Bleach" and like 2000 other gems and I spend the 
rest of this blessed day with reading his stuff. "Articles & 
Archives" and "FAQ" recommended.
