doppelganger 3,912 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 So there's this interesting article by the New Yorker on Reel-to-Reel, and among its proponents are Jack White and our very own Gaga. http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/what-lady-gaga-finds-appealing-in-reel-to-reel?currentPage=all Recording in an analog studio demands more from musicians. After each take, the band, engineers, and producer decide whether what they just recorded was the best version, or whether they should record the whole thing over again. Because of the time and cost involved, Mara said that analog recording sessions tend to be more tightly controlled. Decisions have to be made as the session moves along because mistakes cannot simply be fixed in post-production. “People think limitations are a bad thing,” he said, “but it moves the process forward in a good way. You can easily get lost in the process. It’s easier to stick to the plan when you have limitations.” Interesting stuff. Also in the article: “Joanne” is not completely analog, but “at least three songs were recorded to tape,” according to Mark Ronson’s manager. Any ideas on which are the fully analog songs? I don't have the physical copy yet so I haven't seen the song credits for clues on this. My guess is a lot of songs were translated digitally and "post-processed" - and this is where Bloodpop comes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antpats2 4,200 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Not million reasons. Ever noticed at around 0:47 into the song the two vocal takes stitched together...one being slightly louder in volume? It sounds messy and I can never unhear it I personally think Joanne (considering it was done in one take), Just Another Day and maybe Sinners Prayer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The only way to edit tape is by slicing it with a razor and attaching it to another piece of the tape, an irreversible process that restricts after-the-fact manipulation. " edit : or it could just be a key change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
