Cutting Tape

2002-02-17 by fdoddy@aol.com

Hi folks,
   Although I don't cut tape anymore,  the training and PATIENCE it taught me 
are invaluable.  At work we are all computerized, with just a single 24-track 
machine for library stuff.  Kids these days indeed!  I can't tell you how 
many times I have had to ask younger studio rats to redo an edited piece 
because of shoddy work done on a computer!  Cutting tape is like building a 
watch, you just don't know if it'll work until it's all together, so you 
better do it right the first time. It will drive you to drink though.
