FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I'D LIKE TO LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC BEFORE PURCHASING, WHAT CAN I DO?

There is an Audio Sample section in each product page, together with album’s info and tracklist. It activates a download of a .wav file at 96/24 (zipped) directly into your computer. As an alternative, we can prepare a sample tape with about one minute of music per track for €20 plus shipping costs. To ask for the sample, please send an e-mail to samples@analogyrecords.org

WHAT IS ANALOGY RECORDS?

Analogy Records is an audiophile reel to reel record label, we produce contemporary artists in our own recording studio, and distribute albums on 1/4″ magnetic tape reels.

HOW MANY RELEASES ARE PLANNED?

We have planned to release a title every two months, that is six titles a year.

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE MORE RELEASES EACH YEAR?

All the albums produced by Analogy Records are made with the artist and musicians from scratch. The production of high-quality albums needs quite a long time (concept, pre-production, recording, mix, mastering and graphics).

IF I BUY A MASTER TAPE, WILL I BECOME THE OWNER OF ITS CONTENTS?

No. Since each reel is an original master, it will have its own license agreement limited to the Purchaser’s personal use. The copyright of the album is retained by Analogy Records.

I'VE JUST ORDERED A REEL, WHEN WILL IT BE DELIVERED?

Each single reel is produced only upon request, with the related mixdown directly from Zerodieci Studio multi-track system. Materially, the production takes place on Fridays, so the reels are shipped by express courier on the following Mondays. Anyway, when placing an order you will receive an email with the planned mixdown day and spedition.

I DON'T HAVE A REEL TO REEL MACHINE, WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

It’s easy, please contact our Official Technical Partner, Analogplanet, they always have reel to reel machines for sale and are specialists for the care and maintenance of every kind of recorder and analog gear.

DO YOU ALSO PRESS VINYLS?

Not at this moment but maybe in the future. Vinyls require some slightly different mixing techniques compared to the magnetic tape, so it requires time to create a new mix.
