since then, a \ufffd20 proel. steve's a drummer, and we don't pack very tidily
when we gig (as andy t can attest).


Sling it all in the box, and sort it out later!  :-)  BTW, did you ever
release any of the 'two 'Trons' stuff - regular discs or CD-Rs?


andy- don's right. learn to cut tape. it's the start of a big adventure &
something no computer can replace. imagine cutting a verse out of someone's
opus on 24 track.... and getting paid \ufffd2 an hour for it.... "kids these
days" indeed.


Well, there's a career prospect for you.  :-)  Mind you, I presume you
started doing that?


and actually it's quite a laugh hearing the
400 playing a lump of 1/4" with pretty much anything on it. you suddenly
become aware that the machine IS adding something, the same way only less
subtle as when you put a familiar reel onto someone else's revox.


So (general inquiry here), if I wanted to create a loop in my 'Tron, how
would I go about it? Take the tape frame out and simply insert a loop of
tape around one head, going right round the 'innards'? Not that it's very
likely that I'll try it...
