Buggy Whips [was]Re: [sdiy] Should I repair my Fostex, or should I go HD recording?

[James Patchell]

         You know, this thread has been cracking me up in some ways.  It 
never ceases to amaze me just how conservative musicians can be.

         "Don't use something new, because 40 years ago so-and-so used 
something else."

         40 years ago, the Beatles used a 4 track deck to record on because 
that was the state of the art then.  I can imagine them in their studio asking:

         "Gee, should we use this four track?....after all, Jan and Dean 
used a mono-recorder to record the "Little old Lady From Pasadena" and look 
how good that turned out!"

         Don't be intimidated by new technology.  Grab it by the 
horns.  Hell, you might actually discover you can make innovative sound 
with innovative technology.
