Then again, they probably bought shitty tape from some drug store to record their garage band while professional producers would buy actual good quality stuff.
That is another good question. I have never looked into trying to do a digital transfer from a reel. I sent off some Laserdiscs for replication because they were really hard to find, and I wanted to have Digital to Digital recordings of whatever was on there (as opposed to grabbing audio from a VHS).
