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

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. http://www.endino.com/index.html -- Wolfgang
