About Karetaker

I've been playing bass since 1978. I've been in a band all but two months of that time.

I became interested in recording about 20 years ago. I bought a Tascam 38 8-track and a Ramsa WR-8816 board. I'm still using both to this very day. I've just recently decided to take my recording more seriously and hope to open a studio in the next few years. I prefer analog recording over digital. Although both formats have their advantages and disadvantages. My next big purchase will be a 24 track 2" reel to reel. Of late I've been buying quite a bit of outboard gear. I guess I better start booking more bands to record... this is getting to be a real expensive hobby.
