Synchroniser

It’s more flexible and easier than ever to blend the compression and warmth of 24-track tape with the features and convenience of the Apple Mac! Joe has installed a "Zeta 3" synchroniser which opens the worlds of analog and digital to two-way communication. Mix and match pure analog sources recorded on tape with overdubs and fixes performed digitally. The studio has never sounded better!
