    New Master Tape Company with 30 live recordings WOW

Meanwhile...

    Rainer‘s roof studio: working on high end tape sound and listening room

    I have my PR99 (Mk II) in a flightcase to carry it anywhere and make live (or project) recordings with it. After "cutting" (= cueing) with the M15A I receive an excellent master tape, rated with an "A" by German reviewers for every copy.

    Hello from Bottrop, Germany!

    Opus3, Sweden (my organ recordings sound better), STS, Netherlands (Fritz de With is a friend of mine) and Fonè, Italy (unreachable). Some more with Rock or Pop (what is not my profession). I forgot: only those who copy their own recordings! Which is valid for those four. There are a lot of...
