This is my small little project studio. It is all analog and mostly tube. I primarily use high-end cassette decks for analog sound and natural tape compression but on an extreme budget. I can run any of your audio files through my equipment to give it vintage sound. If you'd like to come by and record some tracks, please be in touch. I have a strong knowledge of current and vintage gear, and have at times made a living buying and re-selling it.Gear list is as follows:Rogers 4 piece drum set with vintage Slingerland heads, hi-hat and ride cymbolFender Coronado II bass guitarWarmoth custom 1959 baritone Strat1970s Minimoog Model DRoland TR-808 with midiSequential Pro OneRoland MKS-7 (Juno 106)Moog Etherwave Theremin Tascam 488 MkII 8-track cassette Tascam porta 02 4-track cassetteDenon 770-R stereo cassetteRCA 44bx ribbon microphoneShure sm57, 58Shure 55 original and re-issueAmpex MX 10 stereo tube mixer for mic-preElectro-Harmonix Big Muff π Op Amp v4Mutron Phaser IIElectro-Harmonix Poly-Chorus 1970sElectro-Harmonix Electric Mistress 1980sRAT distortionMutron Octave pedal 1970sFender Dual Showman 1968 with RCA tubesAmpeg B-15 1970s hybrid bass amp2x Technics 1200 MkII turntablesDigital Performer 9Pro Tools 9Amadeus II
