Topic: FF 800 to 16 track tape machine
i have a friend who recorded 16 tracks to tape. i am going to mix the album, but it turns out i'm also going to have to handle the conversion from tape to digital. at first i thought we'd run 8 channels at a time into the analog ins on my FF. so i'd have to manually synch the 2 sets of 8 tracks for mixing. we'd add a transient at the track beginning and ends to help out. then i thought...will the tape machine really play back at the exact same speed? with this cause phase issues? i don't know.
now, if i am right about that...and i'm not sure i am. then i should try and pick up another 8 tracks of comparable analog line in. any suggestions there?
thx
