I just followed you @nickdawes, because I used to use the Sony reel to reel tape decks for recording, and I worked in a church doing the recordings through a Peavey 16 channel mixer, onto cassettes. This is exactly like the SLR 35 mm cameras vs. the DSLR cameras, and I don't own a DSLR, but an old Minolta XD 11 35 mm. I like the old stuff a lot!
