As the mainstream of the studio and recording industry moves into the future with microphone-to-mastering digital technology, many people are stopping to listen to the remarkably rich and full recorded music from 1970's and 1980's. They realize that the best tools available to recording engineers and studio craftsmen today include those from both mature and well tested analog as well as state-of-the-art digital technolgies. As we all know, the perceived warmth and richness of tube amplifiers is real, and can be clearly explained in terms of the physics and acoustics of music. Similarly, there are qualities to music recorded on magnetic tape that simply aren't available in fully-digital recording environments.
