Hi, i have a couple quick questions about calibrating/aligning a tape machine (in my case a Revox B77 mk2):
- i know i need some kind of tone generator to feed into the tape machine. if i use my computer, do i still need another seperate device to confirm that the tone is being sent at the proper level? or is there some trickery around this that would allow me not to buy another piece of testing gear?
- how does my choice of tape affect how i calibrate the machine? is it only a matter of changing the bias, or are other parts of the calibration affected by the type of tape?
thanks very much for any help!
