Opus 3 Records Offers Analogue Copies From Original Analogue Masters!

When Opus 3 Records creates an Analogue tape copy, it is always a One to One Copy where, for example, no analogue sub-master is in between, in order to make it as good as possible with no added distortion, noise and wow and flutter, etc.

The drawback is this process takes a lot of time, because all the tracks have to be copies one by one which is the reason the Analogue Tape are high. Because of the way this is done, production is limited to a maximum of 50 pieces. The upside to this process is you are guaranteed to have the best sounding Analogue Tape Copy.

To become more familiar with Opus 3 Records and the Analogue Tape Copies, consider purchasing this Opus 3 Analogue Tape Copy which samples a nice mix of selections from classical musicians such as Stockholm Guitar Quartet, Erik Westberg Vocal Ensemble, Stefan Lindgren, Mattias Wager Kjell Fageus, and the Omnibus Wind Ensemble. Selections include compositions by Brahms, Albeniz, Chopin, J.S. Bach, Beethoven and more.

** It is standard practice in all recording studios to keep the tape "tail out". This reduces "pre-echo" and it means that the tape should be placed on the right hand side of the recorder, re-wound and then played.
