whether it is a technician who flanges the tape
using a
screwdriver, some dude patching countless XLR cables or if it's a geek
using a Terminal: same difference.
it is not the same difference
flanging has an immediate perceived value for the client in that the
resulting sound is produced as the tech is resting thumb against reel
flange - client is impressed
xruns or other tech problems arise causing the client to wait around
while the engineer twiddles around under the hood chasing down the
problem - perceived value? none or deferred -- client is frustrated and
if the problem reoccurs often enough is off to another studio
been working in or around pro studios since 1976 -- sorry but been
there, seen all that
