Answer:
Disadvantage:
Good analogue is expensive
Cheap analogue recording equipment cannot match cheap digital for audio quality(?)
Cheaper analogue tape recorders suffer from distortion, cross-talk, wow and flutter, and high levels of tape noise/hiss (expensive ones too but to a lesser extent)
Tape is expensive and vulnerable to deterioration
Tape is becoming increasingly hard to source
Tape recorders need constant maintenance
Linear format - tape must be wound/rewound to the location of the recording to be heard
Advanced editing of audio, including individual tracks, is difficult if not impossible with tape
High noise floor requires noise reduction systems that degrade hi-frequency sounds
Harder to synchronise
Copying deteriorates sound
The electro acoustic problems with vinyl are vast and there is no way records can reproduce a hi-res studio stereo mix masters (limited bandwidth, poor dynamic range, plenty of distortion)
Advantage:
Once recorded to tape, audio is stored/archived
Analogue 2" 24 track tape is (was?) a world wide standard
Analogue tape has a theoretically better audio bandwidth (this is arguable)
Analogue tape is a tried and tested format
Editing limitations of analogue tape discourage constant tinkering and procrastination
Analogue tape and disc based audio is more difficult for record company executives to mess with!
Analogue tape can be edited with simple splices
There are many classic well loved analogue hardware processors available (EQ, compression etc)
12" vinyl LPs and 45s have nice big sleeves that are a great canvas for artistic expression
Although technically a poor format, folks like the sound of vinyl (not entirely an ergonomic factor!)
Explanation:
Answer:
one advantage is that its easy to handle not expensive, over sensitive .
one disadvantage is that it can't be saved and transmitted under urgency.
