basically i wont get it for a few weeks but i want to hear some examples of beats going through a more consumer type reel to reel, ive been using cassette tape alot lately which already sounds raw and interesting, i hope this wont sound too clean, really not sure what to expect as ive never used one before.

ill deff post before and after examples when i get it, ill compare it to cassette tape and maybe even vhs tape. make a big shoot out over it.
i go to thailand in 2 weeks so got to save money till im back. so it'll be a while till its done.

grabbed this last spring for super cheap, got it looked at and all the belts seem to be intact/working, still gotta get a power cord for it as well as some tape though (have a line on some cheap used reels for initial tests) so its just been sitting in a box in my room taking up some much needed record space, definitely still looking forward to messing with it though

^^^ that looks nice, let us know when you start recording on it.

im selling one from 1980 along w/ a mixer #lemmeknow!
the key is having a mixer...
w/ more channels[4+] you can place more sounds/instrument layers on the tape giving it almost a warmer compressed sound... LIKE TAPE-lls
but i guess that would be real analogue
