If you don't subscribe, you should absolutely head over to and sign up for a free subscription to TapeOp
magazine. It's an incredible mag which is offered to anyone who wants it for
free, because they make all of their dough through advertising. Tons of
useful information about recording techniques and devices as well as great
interviews with knowledgeable engineers and producers.
