The Yamaha MT8x2. This thing sounds clean as heck. With the DBX turned ON (Yes I'm breaking all the rules), it sounds super duper clean. Drums sound punchy, there is almost no audible hiss, phantom power makes my u87 clone sound super pristine. It's kind of almost like recording to digital. With analog features. It's like an anlog digital hybrid.

Because you don't get a super amount of sponginess. As you will notice, it does not compress the way a tascam 388 compresses, or how a squashed portastudio compresses. BUT it has more of an analog vibe than a lame plugin. Those plugins never sound right to my ears. This thing has a really interesting sound. It's not as colored as a tascam portastudio.

You might argue that there's no point in using this machine, because in Today's age if you are recording to tape you want to get real legit colored analog sounds. You might be right. But historically speaking this is a pretty impressive engineering feat for an analog cassette machine. This must have been really impressive at the time. It sounds straight up crystal clear. Dawless, Braless, and flawless. Not bad, Yamaha!

If this machine was fully functional, I would be WAY more jazzed about it. But this has got one of the most messed up intermittent temperamental motors I've ever dealt with. It messed my pocket all up. Recording was difficult because the pocket and rhythm drove me crazy.

What do you think?
