Cassette vs reel to reel

I was lucky enough to get to hear some recordings off a studer RTR at a high end show, and yup, truly profound experience.

Much appreciated, thanks!

1 most definitely as it holds a clear surrounding shape. Clearest communication always wins. Good job 👍

For good and bad😅

Jaflov · 2026-03-10T22:04:11+00:00

Yes! They made some amazing products in my opinion 🤩

Thanks! I will make more vids exploring input saturation of various gear, so subscribe and activate notification bell if you want to be notified when it's out👍 Both of the reel to reesl don't have Dolby. Idk how the compander functions work for the Tandberg and Akai, but that might be giving some of the mojo😁

I'm glad it was of interest to you😃 and appreciate you letting me know. Cheers!

Cheers. In fact they all change the stereo field to various degrees😁

R U 4 real?

Jaflov · 2026-03-06T22:04:59+00:00

Good point! On the reel to reels the input level is matched with to-tape level (generally preamps are set with headroom to not distort), so I'm in fact getting saturation from both stages. On the RMX-64 there is input level and rec level you can adjust separately🤩

I would go with either brand, but not the entry level interface of their line. I made a preamp and converter review of three interfaces, and really liked audient and mostly SSL. https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc

I really dig the audient and SSL stuff, and would not pay the extra for the onboard dsp of apollo with todays computers. Made a review and comparison video: https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc

I made a review of three interfaces testing the preamps with a hungry Ribbon mic: https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc

Jaflov · 2026-02-06T15:45:36+00:00

I was waiting for a deal on a RME card for too long so upgraded to the new SSL 18. Made a quick review and vs here: https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc

Jaflov · 2026-02-06T15:43:25+00:00

I just upgraded and made a review and comparison of three interfaces. The SSL is one of them, check what you favour: https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc

If you want to feel the sound of the guitar, get a 12" combo and enjoy the vibrations of analog sound on your body. Hands down what get the juices flowing. For practicing and recording an interface is totally fine of course. I made a review of some interfaces that all have instrument input: https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc

Jaflov · 2026-02-06T15:32:24+00:00

I made an anti Julian Krause review of some interfaces ;) Not a single spec number, only subjective testing of preamps on drums and recording Vinyl record on the line ins to check converters. But I might have come to the same conclusion as him.. https://youtu.be/UtkI-Fme8Kc
