Many of them said they loved the time they had to think during rewind times, to take a breath and consider the next take or what to do next. I was expecting them to talk about the sound of the tape, the crush or warmth but I did not expect one recurring theme. I recall asking a group of engineers and producers what they loved most about working with tape. Even when I have to wait a while, I sometimes use that time to grab a coffee, take lunch or just watch silly videos on YouTube. If I’m honest, even using a 5-year-old 6 core Mac Pro ‘Trash Can’ I rarely think that and I use it for all sorts of stuff including some data-intensive video rendering work.

Let me ask you a question, and this is irrespective of what computer you own, when did you last sit in front of your computer and think ‘hurry up!’ or ‘I could do more things with a different computer that I can’t do now.”? As soon as the new Apple Mac Pro was released the internet lit up with some placing orders, some considering a purchase and some wishing they had the money to make such a move.
