yellow DOG is centered around a fully analog 32 channel Trident 88 console and a Sony/MCI JH24 2"/24 track analog tape machine coupled with Pro Tools 12 via an Endless Analog CLASP.  A completely analog front end and 2" tape as an option,  with storage, editing and playback through pristine Antelope and Prism converters and digital clocking.  We've utilized the best of both analog and digital domains, and with CLASP we are able to eliminate the heavy expense of magnetic tape from the project budget.
