vinyl
I want to press my new music. AAA - I am in the market for a 16 track analog recorder. Is that stupid? It's just such a dying art, and the analog experience is what I grew up with. Am I alone in this? You can have several hundred 12" discs made for under $1500 - colored, too!

Nice. Vinyl is making a comeback. the sales have been increasing the last number of years and I have a few artists who have released limited editions. not sure you can call it a fad, i think people like to have the option , but analog recording, since oyu seem to be an expert in the field of recording ,that be great to snag something, something special about it, I have a big collection of vinyl from way back. 60's to about the 80's I always look for those records when I am at a thrift store. prefer that over cds.
anyways, sounds interesting
good luck

yeah us old guys were lucky to have lived to watch the records spinnin'. I loved 45s. I have one here in front of me that I pick up and hold in my hand when I need a boost.
It's Day Tripper.

I have a 1956 Seaburg Select-0-Matic (home model jukebox) with about 200 original 45's including Beatles, Monkees, Strawberry Alarmclock, Fats Domino, Supremes, Johnny Cash, Hollies, Cream, etc.
It's Great for parties!!

wow that does sound great.
Bryon, all I did was write the lyrics to Quagmire and Jilly came up with the rest. yeah I think it's somewhat Beatleesque or something, what an amazing bit of work she did. I've been pretty lucky having several artists write songs using my lyrics and most of them turned out really good.

Digital is convenient and cheaper but there is no comparison to analog. Due to the natural headroom from analog recording consoles, the sound is sweeter and has a lot more meat to it. I have an analog console(Teac console/Tascam 16 track reel to reel) that I seldom use because my DAW has a lot more tools, effects, plug ins etc. I am old and lazy now and it is so much easier than having to constantly rewire for various recording functions. But I will never sale my old hardware because it has sentimental value for me. I am teaching my 11 year old nephew how to use it so that some day he will not only inherit it but will actually know what value it represents.
Not sure of what has caused the resurgence of vinyl but I suspect that it is a fleeting return for a nostalgic aging public. The only reason it didn't totally disappear years ago is because of the emergence of the rap genre and its undying love of the turn table effect. But sonically, it is clearly an inferior product. Yet, I concede that the public has no true concept of sonics. Look at how popular the MP3 has become. It is totally inferior to wave files but storage capacity has become way more important than sonic clarity. So, there is definitely some renewed hope for vinyl.............

One of the more attractive ideas behind vinyl for me, is the album approach. Listening to a whole side of music and the song to sing flow older albums had born in as a critical part of the album experience. Lately my music is group dependent in that the weight of one song carries more meaning when framed between others. I've noticed lately especially the songs I've been writing can be broken up into 3-5 minute tracks, but the movement is heavier in its 20inute glory.
I haven't really heard a lot of reference to this, and certainly not seeing albums written with this in mind anymore.

with the CD we sorta lost album sides, unfortunately.

Yeah, for sure. I didn't realize how much I missed the vinyl experience until I put my newest studio together last year and started recording. I can't shake it.

On top of that there's the album art. We tried to address that with our DMD, but it didn't catch on too well.
