The Purpose of the List of Bad Tapes Thread

[Beck]

Why not just buy new tape, get tape that will work and give support to the last tape company out there?

Screw eBay, support RMG or have no tape!

Brilliant! An abstinence only approach! Why didn’t I think of that?

The purpose of the thread is to help members avoid bad tape by sharing knowledge many would otherwise not have because of factors like when they were born, and/or when they started recording.

I always recommend new and sealed tape. However, new-old-stock tape of many varieties is as new and usable as the day it was made, even ten or twenty years old.

There is no shortage of tape, but many people are buying bad tape and passing over perfectly good tape.

Tape selection is a lost art. Tapes have different characteristics suited for different applications, but people that weren’t there wouldn’t know that.

However at least one member I know that says he was there, but was not will probably claim to have known this all along and claim he told me all about it so I could start the bad tape list, but I don't know what user name he'll be using then.

Fine, but can you back up your findings with hard credable data? Any sources?

Is it really "sticky-shed" or something else? Improperly taken care of machines will shed any tape like crazy. How can you be sure these tapes are all sticky shed?

I have 4 reels of tape from early 1990s that have been stored correctly and none have "sticky-shed" at all.

Can the poor storage make this SS happen?

There are many questions that have to be answered before casting a bad reputation on any tape. New tape is all up to you. It is new, and your machine's health and your storage will prove the outcome. You can't know how that tape was stored or how bad a machine it was run on. It is a crapshoot.

Findings do not require back up from a source. Findings ARE the source.
Or have I said this before?

Just ask away and you get "your" answers. Right here , that is.

Wrong again... you know absolutely nothing about it.

With every post and every question you reveal your lack of background about the subject at hand, whatever that may be on this thread, this section of the forum or the Microphone forum, or the Rack... take your pick. You have no experience… you're fudging and guessing, but you’re no good.

The only people you can fool are newbies themselves. When you do post things that are correct you steal them almost verbatim from other members here and other web forums. But they are not your words or your thoughts and you don’t even understand what you have said. This is apparent in other threads when members try to engage you after you have stated something and you can’t continue.

To draw a parallel… it is like if you claimed you were a professional racecar driver and then asked questions like “which pedal is the brake and which is the accelerator?” “Is this the steering wheel?” You don’t realize your questions are on that level because you don’t know what you’re talking about. The professional drivers are looking at each other at this point rolling eyes and motioning to security.

You’re speaking with a Boston accent while claiming to be from Mississippi. Both the people from Boston and the people from Mississippi know you’re a poser. Only people visiting from another country could be taken in by your fraud. In all parts of the world there are recognizable dialects and other nuances that immediately differentiate a local from a visitor... someone that has actually been there from someone that is play-acting.

There is nothing wrong with being new to something… a visitor, unless you set yourself up as an experienced authority as you have and proceed to mislead and misinform people about the culture you claim to represent.

No. Findings are based on a source. Any pHd uses his sources to support his findings.

You are not too smart or have no pHD.

As usual, nothing to add of any substance

Try again.

I am not trying to fool anyone. Look in the mirror.

You have no idea as to my experience. Why do you try to guess?

As usual, no info to share.

ahh.................please answer the question?

OK. Please answer why RMG tape is so bad? I need actual sources to ascertain why I should not buy their tape?

Take your time.

I have plenty of credible resources as to why their tape is very good. I would love to hear your learned response to the issue.

Waiting with baited breath

Andy, Whats up?

No. Findings are based on a source. Any pHd uses his sources to support his findings.

You are not too smart or have no pHD.

Findings are the results of original research. Only when you do a literature search are your findings the research of others. At least that is how we do it here at Oregon Graduate Institute....

No. Findings are using resources to back up what you are trying to prove. No college will ever grant a degree based on "original research". You are clueless.
Without references, you are dead in the water. Wanta challengeme?

Go ahead. I have many friends at MIT that will blow your ascertions into the water.

You have to base your research on materials with references to previous research to be credible. Unless your college bases its degrees upon BS resources, it has not changed.

EDIT: I talked to your Oregon Graduate Institite and they grant degrees based on the research/reference method.

We'll take your word for it on the baited breath because that sounds reasonable.

Your response is another popular troll technique that you have always used… put a string of replies after a post that has hit the nail on the head so it will be buried far enough into the thread that many won’t bother to scroll up and see it.

Leaving it there as the last post makes you feel naked, as it should. Your layering of posts are layers of clothing to hide your shame. Unfortunately for you, this hasty attempt at covering your nakedness requires that you grab whatever is close by as quikly as possible.

In this case your white painted face, red ball nose and floppy oversize shoes are only considered proper attire by other clowns. To everyone else you’re badly dressed, and I might add, quite poorly armed for the occasion.

always do.

I have plenty of credible resources ...

I'm glad that you do

I would love to hear your learned response to the issue.

The only reason I respond to MCI2424 posts on this board IS - fulfilling my duty helping to keep this board being a credible resource for people who are in search for information about actual findings.

There is always a purpose, you see..

Oh, Who did you talk to? Please let me know.

OGI is a research institute not a teaching institute. All scientific knowledge is based on the works of others. We cite those references in our papers. Each and every person who is granted a degree from OGI must do some original research. Their findings are the basis on their research. It must be significant and original.

Buts lets go back to who you talked to here. Please tell me their name.
