I tracked onto magnetic tape for the first time in forever yesterday on a well maintained but disused Studer A800.

It's really magic.

I took the input and repro feeds straight into the computer and a/b-ing the two was ear opening (as was the relative gain-staging)/

But more than a third of the 24 tracks weren't working for some reason or another and a couple more went funny while tracking.

No real point here, other than I think I want an 8 / 16 track and I probably shouldn't get one.
