tape

hey y'all figured I'd put this out there. I been filling in holes in my software for quite some time and I got onto the task of tape sims/saturation plugs. I ended up getting 3, heavy, medium, and subtle. Now I'm not really sure if these sound like tape, and I'm not concerned that they do or...

I've cleaned up hundreds of hours of tape recordings, admittedly the easy stuff like humm, clicks, airplanes overhead, etc. So I'm still a totally nube, but I don't even know exactly what it's called when it's like the microphone is too close to their mouth and there is a reverb harshness to...

A friend of mine called me yesterday... he had been helping a friend of his clean out the house of the friend's father who recently passed. He had called to ask me if I wanted an old R t R tape recorder that they found in a closet. I told him that I absolutely did, that I'd love to see what he...

I have two, 212 Craig tape recorders that ran normal, until I used a 9v ac adaptor on both of them, & took out a component that makes it run in ff mode only, no play or rewind. The rewind goes to ff.

Hello, I've just got my first tape machine, the Tascam TSR-8 and I'm trying to record one very long song in one take. The problem is, when I play it back, it starts out in-time, but then gets faster and faster so that toward the end of the tape it sounds like a chipmunk. Is this a problem...
