THIS IS OUR OTARI 2 TRACK ANALOG TAPE RECORDER.

This machine has been used to teach analog tape editing....using splicing tape and razor blades. Now adays studio engineers mostly use computers to do their editing, but for the student who wants to learn some of the "old school" techniques, this is a great machine.

DID YOU KNOW that Michael Jackson's double CD set "HIStory" was mastered from 96 digital tracks to 2 track ANALOG?? Assisting Michael on that mix was Skidmore Alumni: Robert Hoffman '97. Rob's comment on his Skidmore music technology education: "I'm really glad I learned how to cut and splice tapes using Skidmore's Otari 2 track machine. This was a critical skill in my work with Michael Jackson!"
