No zoom, they are generally very aggressive.
The Sony, yes, but as I don't intend to make another PCM collection, I'm considering purchasing a Tascam and that's it.
I like airy PCM recordings.
If YouTube recordings sound good, why do commercial digital releases sound so bad.

When I use the term airy from PCM I am referring to this video for example.

I find there is a harshness to the sound, It is also present on your recordings of your system playing tapes.
Did you listen to the Zoom H6 video I posted above, no harshness and much better than the Sony recorder.
I don't like zoom, it gives priority to low frequencies, the rest is average.
Then there is another factor that is no less important, the choice of headphones and even the amplifier we use to listen to these files.
the most important thing, our ears, nothing to do.
This video is not recorded in the same conditions as mine, they are recorded in a studio with real instruments, mine are via room which in my case are conventional, and via equipment and speakers.

This thread is for posting videos that sound better than commercially released music. If you have any, please post here.
Thanks Hopkins, I'm thinking about opening a topic dedicated to my videos.Something like this
That way, anyone who's really interested can see it.
I saw him live in a bar in Toronto some years ago and it was fun, but the sound was terrible!
The two videos you mentioned have very different sound - one being recorded live with a lot of room reverb. Apples and oranges.

Yes, that's a nice recording, with a good balance between the four instruments. I find the sax player utterly unoriginal and predictable, but that's another story.
