Re: [newmellotrongroup] Favorite Tape Frame

2007-12-20 by tronbros@aol.com

One word on 6 track tape sets.  For them to work cleanly, it is  important to 
have the headblock azimuth aligned as you will be hearing two  adjacent 
tracks at any one time.  If the heads are out of alignment this  will cause sonic 
hell.  A sort of phasey soup.  This isn't a sales  plug, just to alert anyone 
thinking of track tapes that a potential problem  exists.  You should all have 
your headblocks aligned anyway but definitely  if you are going the 6 track 
route.
 
Best,
