I am currently mixing with a MOTU 192HD and simply bouncing to disk and creating CD Masters. I do not have a board and run everything from the micpre straight to the MOTU. I might have the oportunity to get a Nagra stereo deck for good price. What do you think about mixing down this or any other affordable 1/4 deck as opposed to bouncing to disk? When I say affordable I mean under a grand. Are there any other recommendations in this area? |

The IV-SJ is a particularly interesting machine in this way. It is for noise analysis, and will go from uncompressed signal to distortion in no time flat. I'm not sure how they pulled it off but I've heard it and it is written in the manual. [Snip} Again the SJ is particularly bad in this way, but it is nothing Dolby SR can't fix. I'm glad I didn't sell mine. It has a special place in my heart, but it just isn't practical unless I'm doing field recording (rare these days). But man, what a freaking beautiful machine (stroke, stroke, stroke). |

Punkity, is th SJ the machine with the dual concentric knobs for coarse/fine calibration, with the scale in absolute dBs? I've seen a machine like this that the local Environmental police use for measuring outdoor concert levels...bastards! Also, did you ever try the Bryston SR for the IV-S...slings under the body? Awesome unit...15 ips/Nagra Master/SR...crystal...*sigh*...should have bought when we had the chance. Cheers, Tim |
