Analog vs. Digital Tapes: Music Production

Hi! My name is Larry Hammel, singer, songwriter, engineer and producer of Deep Waves Studio here in New York City and on behalf of Expert Village, I would like to welcome you to how to produce a recording artist. We all love the sound of tape. It's the sound we grew up with as kids; kids of records that we fell in love with. Now digital has finally come in to its own. I believe we finally got to the point where digital sounds as good if not better than tape without the inherent noise, characteristics and everything else. In digital it is very very important to remember that when you record you cannot exceed 0 DB full scale which is very very important because you have to set yourself up say on a converter like this to provide the headroom needed to not exceed that because it sounds awful. Make sure that when you are recording and generally my rule of thumb is to stay at peak at -10. Minus 10 is a good point because some of the peaks if they get through, you will have enough headroom that you will allow yourself not to clip and cause that ugly digital artifact known as distortion.
