He's wrong. Quadrophonic reel to reel was better. |
Reel to Reel is superior to the digital method they have been using through the 90's. It is analog, but it has tremendous more dynamic range than the limiting 48 khz / 24 bit that eveything was recorded on since 1985 (Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms was the first pure digital recording). Of course Digital is easier to work with so it survived as a recording method for almost 20 years.
Now they are finially getting their act together and recording in 192 khz / 24 bit which is in my book is finially superior to the reel to reel.
