Looks good to me. Simple and with RPM adjustment.

Please tell your friend, if he does this, not to get rid of the old product. The digital version is a great storage medium, but hasn't the sonic quality of the vinyl (analog) version.

Back in the day as a recording engineer, when DAT was the state of the art, when it came to mix time, I would ask the client if they wanted the mix to go to analog or digital. At one point they all would say digital.

I would buy the tape for the analog machine with the understang that if the DAT sounded better I'd eat the cost, and then mult the mix to DAT as well to a Studer half track at 30ips (analog). We would wind up at the mastering room and I would have the client turn their back, have the mastering engineer sync both the analog and digital mixes, then A-B them and have the client choose.

99.9% of the time, the client would pick the analog mix and swear that was the digital 'cause it sounded so much better. "Everyone knows digital is better, right?". Go figure.

"We are living in an analog world, and I am an analog girl" (or something like that).
