New here, this is my first post. Very nice forum. Would there be any interest in organ and choir recordings in IEC 15ips format? For some years I have been thinking to release analog tapes for audiophile use. I have been in the recording business for 30+ years, and started the work in the analog era. Therefore I am well aware of how to maintain and calibrate tape machines, aswell as how to edit with razor blades. I think it also is much more fun to do. I am thinking about launching newly recorded analog material, but I just wonder if there would be a market for that. I have worked with prominent organists worldwide and where I live (Sweden), there is a tradition of great choir singing. I have no commercial intentions, and I am not out on huge sales, but just enough to fund the costs for keeping these machines roling, or pay the costs for a half inch master recorder in future. My expertise is most in organ, choir and small acoustical jazz trio's and quartets. I have also designed a bit different way of recording, and by means of tape copying in reverse mode, phase faults in the whole recording chain get compensated, and therefore the customer gets a copy that sounds actually better than the original. Just my two analog cents.
