Re: OT Cassette 4-Track... Req!
Experience with the pitch shift problem trying to record each side
separately proved to be a real pain in the neck, and awfully uncertain in
terms of results. I could clearly detect sync problems - and this was
with
a tape using a marking tone. In addition, since there are close to fifty
cassettes to go through to remaster - yes, the world will be subjected to
some of it! - I need to do it with a four-track 1-2-3-4 layout, and want
to
have a better tape transport going for it than a standard cassette deck
can
provide. I can't take the chance of any of these fellas getting chewed up
either. To my credit these tapes are probably the best-stored items I
own... :)
