Christian, be well aware that 1 1/4 tape is just 20 minutes of material.On a normal production that means 4 tapes a day ( 80 minutes : 7 or 8 EU per tape, if found)If you use the Nagra say 150 days a year.....600 tapes a year..I think you should dro…
There is a difference... :D
But as you say the hassle of managing analog Vs the outcome.
Need to make some tests.
Step one read Nagra manual, step two get hold of tape stock.
Thanxs for the input.

Thanks for the compliments! That's an older picture, so I don't use that monitor anymore. I've got an LCD screen now (Sharp Aquos), but soon that will be replaced by a projector with a perforated screen. Dorrough meters are extremely accurate and th…

Wow, I wasn't aware that M. Night Shyamalan did "Lady in the Water" on analog and a flatbed. Did he do a traditional film mix too? (Who has the hell still has a full-up film dubbing operation left?).
While I spent a long part of my career wo…
If your goal is just to get the "warmth" from analog tape, you could try doing what many music producers do.
Record the session (dialog, in your case) to digital, and use those for post. For the final mix, bounce the entire dialog mix to analog tap…
I agree on most of your thoughts... But this is why since none of us used the nagra (and the sr module) I would like to get some input of experienced Nagra users.
Yes 96k is a good thing! :D but in a "big" production it´s a lot of data and takes bi…
Hi,
I'm not sure if what I got in post went through the prism converter, but I've gotten plenty of tape-recorded dailies in my time. I'm just saying that when it comes to dialog, there are many more reasons to stay digital than to to use the Nagra.…
Hi Niel,
So u have hands on experience of the Nagra IVs and dolby SR?
And the post chain with prism converter?
And all my tube amps (yes I have 3 :) stay in the studio... Will not bring them on location.
Hmm... and what about all those thousand o…
Hey Christian,
As a post guy, in my nearly all digital world I wouldn't want to get dialog recorded with a Nagra IV. First, you get tape hiss which you have to kill using some kind of NR plugin, and that can induce artifacting, which is a problem i…
Transformerless circuitry... not always the best sellingpoint... :)
Different anyway... :)
lol, yes too true but by the same token how can it be worse?
Can have something to do with my collection of analog... :D
Tube mices... tube mice preamps. Analog console... Hmm?
Digital is a copy of analog. How can that be better?
:D
Hi Christian,
Pretty much, yes. It is certainly more hassle and whether you ultimately get something better or not is open to debate. In terms of specs, there is no question that Digital is better, however on the flip side some Musician friends of m…
Hi Marc!
My company is based here in Sweden (far away from LA or NYC :)
The knowhow here is all based on digital workflow.
We do all the audio post inhouse (small post house here in sweden)
The plan I had was to transfer 1/4"
using the same machine…
Why is of course not easy to answer.
The main reason would be to get something different (and hopfully better) in the dialogtrack.
I guess from your question that you do not think it´s worth the hussle or that digital is better :D ??
