Tape Tech / How to Align Otari MX 5050 BII
« on: July 18, 2018, 06:38:39 AM »
My question is how do I go about aligning my deck while having the direct head wiring out to my tape pre? Since I have the deck setup this way I have lost the meter functions, so I need advice on how to align???

Tape Project Machines / Otari 5050 BII With Flux Magnetic Head
« on: May 20, 2017, 09:30:47 AM »
Ok just curious because I can't remember which tape pre sounds better with this setup? Does anyone know the deHavilland vs the Tube Repro? I notice that the induction is quite different between the stock heads and the flux head, wondering what effect this would have on either tape pre?

Raw Tape / Tape Woes
« on: July 27, 2011, 04:19:00 PM »
Well this is the second time I can remember this happing to me, so it's time to find out why!!! Today I was making a recording on my Studer I had made one tape A and was happy with the results. I started on the B tape when I got finished I rewound it for playback to check the recording as I normally do, well it was during this playback I noticed the tape start to sound funny!!! Anyway after the first three songs the tape started sounding like my deck was slowing down and picking up speed (YIKES)!!! I just about went into a panic the first tape was fine this sounded like it was be drug through the heads fighting all the way!!! I check everything all looked and was working properly as far as I could tell. I put on another tape to be sure of what was going on and it sounded perfect!!! Hmm!!! Next I put the B tape on my Otari deck to be sure it wasn't the Studer, and sure enough the tape played like it was in slow motion. anyone else ever had this happen to them??? So what I am saying is it was the tape that was bad about half way through, I can't explain and don't what would cause this!!! Other than the tape formula itself any ideas???

General Discussion / Tape Packing
« on: July 26, 2010, 04:34:43 PM »
Hi Guys,
What would cause uneven packing of the tape when rewinding it to play? After rewinding one of my TP tapes earlier today the packing was all uneven, and I had a hard time getting it back to a nice tidy pack.
No problems with any other tapes I played today on the same deck.
