A large amount of 1980's popular/rock and other music was recorded on this machine and it's Sony cousins. Albums that sounded fabulous in terms of fidelity. Music that was enjoyed for such.
It's a neat machine, and just a better all around workflow compared to something like DAT or ADAT. We got it for archiving reasons since our studio has about 200 or more recordings from the Sony machine they had here in the late 80s early 90s. Our studio was started in the late 1940 and we have reels going back to the 1950s from Artist like the Stanley brothers, Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe and many other local musicians. Now we can finally archive our entire collection. The studio mainly used 2 MCI JH24s locked to SMPTE with mix downs to a MCI JH-110 or later a Otari MX5050. Thanks for watching!! Cheers!
DASH alone isn't really a DAW but the younger generation of kids who never grew up around a tape machines consoles or even cassettes think everything that can record audio is a DAW 🤣😂 That is why I put it in the title of the video! Thanks for watching!!
Very nice. 48 tracks on that. I did tape splicing on a 1/2 inch reel to reel. 2 channels at college in 1997. This 12 years earlier and digital. There was a machine fromm 1981 or so. Used better quality VHS tapes to record digital 2 but 48 chennsls. Proberly 2. Stereo recorder. See a video, forgot exactly what it was. That one impressive bit of kit you got there to record that still goes.
It was purchased so we could archive about 15 years worth of recordings made at our studio in the late 1980s and early 1990s the original Sony machine was dead when I bought the studio and since our studio has recordings going back to the early 1950s on tape I've been on a mission to archive it all. I picked up this machine from a television station who was going to throw it away and luckily a friend who works there called me to ask if I wanted it. So I drove 150 miles with 3 reels to to test it to see if it still worked and to my surprise it was in perfect working condition. Its a neat machine and VERY HEAVY!! Thanks for watching and have a great day!!
@@joesalyers they made you pay and where going to throw away. Tight lot. 😀. My Sound engineering stuff. Reel to reel and DAT tape. Ok 2 tape there. Was put to cassette. My mate at hospital radio. Had the to me unplayable things for years. In the roof. Loft Worse place to leave anything. All gone and cassettes. Draws off tidy up. Throw away. And that one No college stuff from 1997_8 left.
@@DanielGlover I had to pay them $1 for it so they could use it for their tax purposes so I technically paid for it. LOL The studio has a climate controlled storage room they built in the late 70s for archiving its all concrete floors and walls. We have close to 8000 reels of tape plus countless ADAT/DAT tapes and I store all of our hard drives there as well.
It's amazing they could build heads that could record and playback all of those tracks on only 1/2" tape.
It's digital so it is only writing data, but you can splice and cut it like analog tape. It was a good machine for its time. Cheers!!!
@@joesalyers Still incredibly impressive. 52 tracks on 1/2' tape, that's less than .01" per track, not including guard bands.

@@joesalyers cool stuff and history 👍
DASH itself is not even remotely a DAW, just a multirack tape machine, but when paired with Sony OXF-R3 it was much like DAW.
