Digital kind of mood…

Back in the before times there were these things called DAT (Digital Audio Tape) machines… it was a great format that got hindered by endless lawsuits and Sony’s inability to market anything properly at the time (ex. MiniDisc)…

The format was technically superior to CD and at the time much easier to work with than CD…

Alas time has mostly forgotten the DAT, with expensive studio machines that once cost thousands barely commanding hundreds online… picked one up to play some old DAT tapes I had… a Sony PCM-7030… a very heavy 3 motor DAT machine originally designed for mixing down movie sound tracks… also has some nice back lit buttons!
