Burl B80 Mothership, a sought-after recording device, was recently revisited in a review update by Larry Crane. The update builds on Marc Alan Goodman’s initial review of the Mothership, emphasizing how this singular piece of equipment has the ability to enhance the overall recording process. Goodman’s original review noted the rarity of finding a piece of gear that can elevate an entire recording setup, underscoring the impact of the Burl B80 Mothership on music production.

Larry Crane, the founder of Tape Op, recently engaged in a book reading event at Powell’s City of Books in Portland. The reading event was a lively affair, with Crane sharing insights from Tape Op’s Book Vol. II. Accompanied by musician Leigh Marble and Ben, the event was a showcase of music and literature, bringing together enthusiasts and professionals in the recording industry. The support from Kevin Sampsell in arranging the event at Powell’s further solidified Tape Op’s presence in the music community.

Pete Droge, a seasoned artist, stumbled upon a cassette tape from the late 90s labeled “Warren Pash at Got Wheels.” The tape contained two original songs by Pash, produced, engineered, and mixed by Droge. The tracks, “Blue River” and “Bones & Stones,” serve as a reminder of the collaborative nature of music production. With tapes like these resurfacing, the nostalgia and craftsmanship of analog recording techniques continue to inspire a new generation of artists.
