A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to record rhythm tracks to analog tape. This isn’t something we do often; the ease of Pro Tools so often trumps the vibe of good ol’ magnetic tape. However, this session was a little different. Chris Estes of Endless Analog (www.endlessanalog.com) was kind enough to bring a little box he calls C.L.A.S.P., or a Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor. We recorded to a Studer 24-Track analog tape machine while simultaneously recording into Pro-Tools HD in the A room at Nashville’s own Quad Studios on Music Row.
The technology was truly amazing. It worked effortlessly with playing along to tracks already in Pro Tools and even Quick Punch worked perfectly. Missed a punch, just drag it back, just like using an all-digital rig. It was a lot of fun and a truly impressive box and the tracks came out great.
We recorded the band Like Candy Red (www.facebook.com/likecandyred), a seriously talented band with three fantastic female vocalists backed by the ZodLounge music production team (www.zodlounge.com). Be sure to check out a couple of the tunes we cut at the band’s Facebook page.
