Subject: RE: Cassette 4-Track...
Req!
one caveat- not all cassette four tracks were created equal.
I'm sure you've got the obvious stuff covered- tape speed,
permanently-engaged-noise-reduction, separate track outputs, that sort of
thing.
BUT
I made a load of recordings on a teac/tascam 244 protastudio
that I borrowed.
a few years later, I had very briefly (because it
turned out to be a P.o.C.) a little vestax portastudio, & tried to play
some of these tapes back.
the even-numbered tracks were out-of-phase with
the odd-numbered tracks.
when I replaced the P.o.C with a fostex 160,
everything was alright again.
so.... just something to watch out
for.
