Have you ever considered that just because something is new—whether it’s the next big thing or the latest technology—that it’s not always better? Maybe you were around when analogue was the only way music was produced, and reel to reel tape recorders were the professional standard.

Maybe you just remember the good ol’ days and don’t feel like learning how to record music on your computer. Or maybe you’re just interested in making good music, and you’d like to discover how reel to reel recording works. If any of these describe you, then you’re in the right place.
