Re: Which Tape Machine is Best?
What kind of tape? There are a lot of variations...
I am not aware of a low maintenance 2 track machine, there area quite a few mid to high maintenance tape machines.
"Best" is going to be tough, everyone has their favorites from 1" 2 track ATR Service mastering decks to some kind of Tascam unit and everything in between.
I don't think there are any places that have readily accessible parts, ATR might because they service and repair tape decks and even they have to fabricate custom parts. Not cheap and not fast.
IMO, it might be ALOT cheaper to get a saturation plug that emulates different decks like McDSP Analog Channel.
Happy Hunting!
