Conny Plank used a Scully tape machine with 7.5 ips and 15 ips.
These were very nice sounding machines, indeed.
He had two of these machines. He prefered 7.5 ips.
Now that's interesting. I often heard engineers preferred 15 ips over 30 because of a tighter bass sound but never heard that 7.5 ips is even better. Maybe this is also a matter of personal taste and the particular machine involved.
It was recorded without noise reduction.
All the better. Anyway, thanks for the info.
