Tape
Saturation Explained.
Why is analog still preferred over digital systems by so many recording artists
and professional engineers? The reason is the sound. On the higher end of analog
recording systems, the 24 track 2 inch tape systems, there is a phenomenon called
Tape Saturation, essentially a form of distortion that is extremely pleasing
to
the ear. Digital systems, despite their lower cost and extraordinary flexibility,
do not naturally reproduce this effect.
