Join me in this video as I chat with Sammy from the "Sammy and the Hi8s" YouTube channel about our experiences with analog and digital recording gear. We dive into everything from our personal preferences and how we acquired our equipment to the challenges of maintenance.
We also tackle the topic of audio elitism, sharing our insights on finding affordable used gear and emphasizing the importance of a great source sound over expensive equipment. You'll hear about our preferred Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), with my preference for Logic and Sammy's for Reaper.
Beyond the technical, we explore the joys of YouTube as a creative outlet, hint at potential future collaborations, and express our shared hope for the reissuance of classic tape recording equipment.
