AAA Analog Tape Recording – your master tape duplication copy is the handmade product in real-time, by sound engineers and studio professionals with today's technology advantages: greater dynamic range, especially at frequency extremes; minimal signal processing; and unsurpassed richness and realism - it's the closest to hearing the music on master tape copy.
The tape copy is transferred in real-time, using studio-level reel-to-reel tape recorders on the freshly made SM-900 RTM audiotape. Production of audiotapes is a very time-consuming process, so each label usually can only release a new album in batches.
