the porta-studio 488, 8 track recorder, made in japan. that's funny, I had the bpm set to 55 lol. Omg yes, the saturation is so yum and that head room, wow! This was recorded on a memorex DBS normal BIAS, 120us EQ, new old stock cassette tape. Made in korea of all places. Probably not the best quality tape I could have used but it's my test tape, so I don't care that much. I'm just stoked how good it sounds without even trying XD. I just recorded another test piece using the pulsar drum. omg so good, though I am in desperate need of a compressor between the mic amp and the deck >.<; not because the deck couldn't take the dynamic range but because my ears can't XD
