    recording 2 grand pianos in 1 room

    Well, I haven't been around here much recently, but I'm looking for advice. I'll be making a recording of some two-piano arrangements, and this will be in a fairly small music room. The two pianos are wing to wing on opposite (long) walls of the room, so that the performers face each other...

    Computer DAT tapes in an audio DAT machine?

    oxide shedding from 1/4" tape - cure?

    A friend has some recordings (circa 1983-87) on 1/2 track 1/4" tape. He hasn't played these for years, as his reel to reel machine has been out of order (for at least 10 years!). I offered to transcribe them from tape to CD, and while I was checking the tapes, noticed that the highs has all...
