Something unusual i never knew about Dr. Dre...(regarding recording)

[Rud]

In a fact sheet on Tupac from IMDB...

Recorded much of his vocals of the "All Eyez On Me" album with a Neumann U87 microphone. In addition, entire album was recorded on analog tape. This was considered somewhat archaic by 1995 recording standards, as much of the recording industry had transitioned to digital recording. (However, it should be noted that Dr. Dre, who produced two songs for the album still uses analog tape to record his music, as of late 2006).


Seems like Dre likes to keep somethings the way he's always had them?

Aw that's not that unusual
I thought I was gonna get something along the lines of Dre likes to hop on a rapper's shoulders as he's recording in the booth and whip him like a race horse after every bar

Yeah I remember on the visualism dvd he said music was meant to be on tape not computers or something like that.

Its 2007 and both of them are digital.  Listen to Trauma, shit has digital written all over that.

Big 2 page article in scratch magazine about DJ quik having to go digital, and not wanting to do it.  Many articles on Dre and his Pro Tools setups.

The last producers of Analog Tapes went bankrupt early 2006.  I remember reading it somewhere. 
But there is a Big difference in Digital to Analog.  Its kinda hard to explain but if you listen to a human voice through a microphone before its recorded and then play it back through a computer after its recorded you lose something.. Kinda like its fullness in sound or warmth as some people call it.
