[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 757938, member: 746"] I am good friends with Maurice Gawronsky, the drummer, who is still playing at sessions, mainly at the Winchester Hotel on Sunday mornings. He also used to play at some concerts at the Nassau Centre in Newlands and I recorded quite a few concerts there. When I stopped making recordings, I gave the microphones, cables and mixer to a church group who play at the church and also at concerts at old age homes. The tapes (a whole box) went to the Nuthouse Recording Studio and he passed some on to friends Some of the tracks recorded at the Winchester are on one of the CDs issued by MG, he must have at least 500 copies left and I could scrounge some from him if needed The problem with recording at 15 i/s is that even using a 10.5" reel (2400 feet) of long play tape, you could only get 32 mins out of it. The tape was fairly expensive too. One big bonus of using a DAT tape was that in England, a DAT cassette only cost ?9.50 and would last 2 hours. Editing a DAT tape is infinitely easier than an analogue tape and with a recording studio, time is money. You can even correct bum notes on a digital tape. [/QUOTE]
