Hello Everyone,
I have two questions. I recently obtained an MRL calibration tape for my Fostex E-16. I calibrated the machine according to steps in the service manual. No problem. I also have a Fostex E-22 2-track master deck. Now, my questions:
After recording on the 16 track is complete an it comes time to mixdown to the 2-track, do I record the tones from my 16-track calibration tape onto the beginning of my 2-track tape so the mastering person can align their machine accordingly?
My next question is: do I have to obtain a calibration tape for the 2-track as well, or do I calibrate it to 0 db(just like I did the 16) when I record the tones from my 16 track calibration tape onto the 2-track?
Sorry if it's a little confusing.
Thanks for any and all help.
