A analogue Fostex desk, anlogue effects and 1/4" tape.

Oh, and I ride a bike. Cars are fine if you have a family and don't realy want to go where you have to go (because cars spend most of their time standing still behind other cars). I don't have a family nor do I like standing still. If I had a office job and a family I'd probably get a car as well, this would chip off lots of time that'd otherwise be filled with having to fil in forms or dealing with kids.

for recording, i've been using an akai dps16 for many years. the pre's aren't the best, but it does a great job, and i can record 8-10 tracks at a time, and i can both record individual tracks and mix live while performing all with one unit. unlike some of the other devices, it records uncompressed .wav files, and up to 24/96 at that. having a dedicated recording "computer" with faders instead of kbd is really convienent.

I also found that recording to something you know for sure won't crash makes you feel way better.

well....tape can always break/tangle, anything electronic can crash. perhaps we need wax cylinders with someone to turn the crank (and a backup crank turner in case the first one drops dead).

on the other hand, a crash a day keeps my concentration and saving
discipline alive, never knowning when it occurs.
also it helps not to love computers too much... wich is a good thing imho.
and it reminds me of the "eternal nothingness" of the universe. Wink

Very Happy
I like this one :

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

after all, computers are only machines,
they can`t be more perfect than their constructors ....

The first time I handled 1/4" tape was my freshman year of college. They somehow allowed newbies like me working at the media center desk to be responsible for making cassette copies of reel-to-reel recordings. I ruined an opera singer's only recording. Well, some of it anyway. The tape started to pinch into a tight, thin string. That'll learn 'em. Embarassed
