  Increasingly, musicians are rediscovering the virtues of recording on the analogue gear that everyone disposed of during the 80s digital revolution. By integrating vintage equipment into their studio set-up, they can take advantage of the classic analog warmth and low-end, while still having the ease-of editing that Pro Tools affords. Analog Recording takes readers through setting up a studio and working with the great tape recorders, mixers, outboard gear, monitors and microphones of the 50s, 60s and 70s. As well as teaching you how to use the equipment, you will learn how to recognise bargains and how to maintain them, saving money in the process. Notable bands/artists that record using vintage equipment include: The White Stripes, Lenny Kravitz, Tom Petty, and Slash.
