Frequently Asked Questions

Session FAQ

What's the difference to other studio live recording sessions?

The concept of straight2tape® is that everything is 100% analog and 100% authentic. Each session is being recorded, mixed and captured on ¼“ master tape in real-time. After the last note is played, a song is finished and can be neither edited nor modified afterwards. Our productions might not always be a totally ‘clean & perfect’ but they fully guarantee hontest, outstanding musicianship.

Which tape machines are being used to record the sessions?

This depends on the genre and style. We try to choose the recorders according to the sound ideal of the respective genre. The following machines are available for selection:

  • STUDER C37
  • STUDER 810
  • STUDER A80 MK1
  • STUDER A80-R
  • NAGRA IV-S
How flexible and scalable is the session format?

Flexibility and scalability are both key characteristics of the straight2tape®. The music production format works well in locations from small Jazz clubs up to large scale venues such as concert halls or empty plane hangars. Please do get in touch for more info or a brainstorming call. 

What our Visitors Say

Roland Fischer Universal Music Switzerland

A big compliment to the whole team and the musicians. The visit to the "Ellis Mano Band", was a very nice and exciting experience. Everything was very professionally organized and executed, it was really fun to enjoy the music in the relaxed and familiar atmosphere and to meet the many interesting people.

Rolf Schlup DAS OFFICE

Absolutely top! A great team and event. The concept makes perfect sense. This is how music gets under your skin - great.

Dr. Rüdiger Walscheid Master Tape & Music Lover

Packaging top. Coil: a dream. Really heavy, no treble impact. The engraving absolutely inspiring. The most important thing in conclusion: music: absolutely first class, perfectly controlled (by the way, listen with a Studer A810 or 807). I may summarize: I think [...] I will buy more tapes.
