The requirement for a new Tape Machine has become more urgent in the past year, firstly, the Studer A827 would be compatible with our other 2" Tape Machine which is currently housed in Studio 3 (currently the only one) so students/staff and professionals would be able to transfer work between the two machines. Secondly, our current 1" Tape Machines are malfunctioning/unravelling to the detriment of students work and can no longer be used as reliable recording machines with consistency. Adding urgency to this decision, our 1" Tape stock is now old and beginning to degrade over time, rather than purchase expensive new Tape for the 1" Machines which are decidedly nearing the end of their lifetimes, purchasing a refurbished 2" tape machine would allow for greater use of our existing 2" tape stock as well as securing the ability to record to tape in a professional capacity in the New Adelphi Studios for years to come.

In the past year engagement with tape from students has increased 4-fold (if not more) thanks to Tape Recording now being included as an option in L5 ASLR Recording assignments and student demand to be taught in the use of tape recording and analogue methods, as both have seen a particular resurgence in the current popular music scene. Giving our students the ability to have 2 studios available to them where they can use the same size Tape will also resolve the overcrowding/unavailability of Studio 3 as was seen towards the end of last semester.

Serviced and refurbished Tape Machine models in this good condition like the one cited here do not often become available on the market and as such this is an opportunity that may not recur in the near future. We are currently in talks with ProAudio Europe to learn more about the history of the machine and see if they will hold it for us, pending the release of potential funding.

  • Replacement of all Studio iMacs [Either iMac Pros or Mac Pros depending on Apple Developments] - £40,000
  • Buy USB-C audio interfaces for location recording - 5000
