Daptone Records video

Here's an MTV video visit to a bastion of analog recording in Brooklyn. Time to play, name that machine.
BTW the sidebar has some other nice videos of artists and more nuts and bolts from Daptone.

3M 2 track and MR70 based 8 track?
I like this ! :-)

I'm always happy to see interest in producing good soul and gospel music. I think it's been badly neglected by the major labels. Of course, I grew up in the south where that kind of music was everywhere.

BTW, don't forget about the machine in their basement studio.

Otari!
I love it when people get good results without being hung up on having the _very_best_ equipment.
He did say he had some Radio Shack condenser mics (made by Shure - I have some too) laying around.
Though if those were MR70 electronics in the 8 channel Ampex that is pretty unbeatable.
