AMPEX 456 TAPE SATURATION

AMPEG 456 TAPE SATURATION Not everyone has had first‑hand experience of magnetic tape recording and other analogue recording technology, of course, but we've all heard and admired the vast back catalogue of classic records made using this technology from the 1950s onwards. There are many factors that combine to create character in recordings, ranging from instruments, musicians and performances, through the rooms and mics used, to the preamps, processors and effects (and the way in which they're used), but when we talk about analogue warmth, we're usually referring to the character that the analogue processing/recording equipment and the recording medium add to the sound. Captured is the analogue warmth of Ampex 456 printed to several coveted tape recorders including the MCI JH24 Multi Track @ 30 IPS ~ TEAC A-6100 MK II @ 30 IPS ~ Revox PR99 MK II @ 15 IPS ~ Ampex AG-440B @ 15 IPS
