Tape Op Aug/Sep 2024 No. 162

What are the personal rewards of making and recording music? Or, maybe more tellingly, what are the rewards of recording other people’s music? Featuring interviews from: Lance SkiiiwalkerSteve EvettsBruce BrubakerAlynda SegarraBrittany DavisDan ReederKhruangbinPoint of Memory…and more! Tape Op’s original subtitle still probably says it best: The Creative Music Recording Magazine. Tape Op is about learning how to make great recordings with whatever tools you have access to. They interview engineers, producers and musicians who are making great recordings, sitting down and talk with them at length and then run long, in-depth interviews. The reader becomes, in essence, the “tape op” hanging out in the studio and learning the trade from the seasoned vets working in the studio. Unlike most recording magazines, Tape Op’s primary focus is not on reviewing equipment. They want to discuss making art.
