Yeah there’s a distinct lack of reel tape in that set up :face_with_monocle:

Did bid on a giant Otari, didn’t win though, but its probably only a matter of time before I get another huge thing I’ll never use.

You basically need to just get one of these. And then another one because two is better than one reasons.

No use for any more than two tracks, but yes, one of those in two track 1/4" please. MTR-10 etc.

And two will let me dub all the tapes @Mrs_Maureen_OPinion is going to sell.

ALL the VU meters.

ALL of them.

Indeed, pre-recorded 1/4" tape is far too easy to source :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Do you think it comes with a technician whose only job is to change the pea bulbs in all those meters. And if there’s a sudden loud burst of music and all the meters move right, does the whole deck move left if the castor brakes aren’t on ?

I was thinking, if I build giant horns and go active, but wanted to stay all analogue, I could tape my albums to 8 tracks and do all the delays that way. @coco sensible huh.
