That's correct. You have to play your track from your monitors and record it using a tape recorder to get the analog back in. Then send the tape to the record label of your choice.

Tape recorders are okay, but if you really want analogue you should get it pressed to a record and play it back from your gramophone or victrola. Just make sure to use 24-gauge cable and freeze it in liquid nitrogen before doing any recording. And don't keep the file on your hard drive too long, otherwise the bits will rot back into digital.

hehehe

no.. try psp vintage warmer or PSP MixSaturator. 3 types of tube distortions and 3 types of valve distortion, and a digital one.

Actually, I think you have the process round the wrong way. Digital can rot into analog, but not the other way round. You see, over time the nice, sharp edges of the digital bits become worn and smooth, turning them back into analog.
This also happens if your digital recording is immersed in water for any amount of time - the edges slowly soften and you're right back to analog.

Of course, this is the ultimate way to get your recordings sounding more analog, and I believe most of the top trance artists use the 'immersion' processing technique. Once the track has been mixed to to a digital media, ie CD or DAT, it's then dropped into a large bucket of water and left to stand for 1 month.

Fact.

Interesting, that sort of explains why a lot of old tracks sound better than new ones. It's the aging process, they just get more analog over time.
