Скачать или смотреть What TAPE SATURATION Sounds Like

This is a great example of how forgiving recording to tape can be. If you peaked a digital recording this hard, it would not be usable. But with tape, it adds a type of compression and distortion called "tape saturation".

In fact, sometimes recording a little bit too loud can actually be better for some music..

In our song "Ice Winds", I accidentally set the REC level for the acoustic guitar a bit too high. Early in the song when the finger picking is quieter, this was totally okay, but later when I started playing hard it peaked pretty hard in some spots.

But after listening to the first take, I decided it was actually really cool sounding. So I called it a wrap. (in fact, most of that song is comprised of single takes)

Anybody else like to include some tape saturation in their tracks? #shorts
