The Tape Issue: Get pulled in by the magnetic qualities of tape. We travelled to Chicago to find out why Steve Albini still laces up his Studer; dig deep into Sam Smith’s magnetic masterpiece <The Thrill of it All> recorded entirely on tape, in our Mix Masters series; and walk through exactly what you need to know if you’re thinking about incorporating tape into your workflow. We also find out how Bob Clearmountain dragged The Preatures out of their Doldrums studio, and review some tasty tube Sebatron preamps, the super-speedy Presonus Quantum interface and EV’s powerful stick PA.
