My band is looking to record an album on good ol' fashioned tape. Would anybody suggest any good garage punk studios that use 8 track, analog technology, etc.? BTW I live in upstate NY but would be willing to travel 3-5 hours (example, NYC, NJ)

Well. I know this studio in my neck of the woods that has an Otari 1/2". I know the fidelity would not be the same as a 1" but maybe that would be alright considering we are blues-punk-garage-rock. It would just be nice to have the option of 8 tracks on 1 inch tape.

I live in Westchester and can rent you my 4 track :)

Too bad you can't travel a little further. I highly recommend Fidelitorium Studio in North Carolina. 24 track on 2" tape mixed to 1/4" . We just recorded there. Sounds like a million bucks.

I don't think too many studios have the 1/2 inch and 1 inch machines anymore. You're best bet might be to find a protools set up with the latest plug ins...People say they sound pretty good.
