• NAGRA IV-S

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 honest, outstanding musicianship.

Our shipping costs consist of a small, negligible packaging fee and the International Parcel shipping rates offered by Swiss Post. If you find a better offer for the latter, please let us know!
