Abstract:
Although analog tape continues to be a viable format for recording and mixing audio, there is no denying the decline in the manufacture of machines, media and tools for this beloved technology. In order to use analog tape reliably, machines must be maintained and repaired by users armed with technical know-how. This panel will cover topics related to the evaluation, maintenance, repair, and every-day practices to keep this technology functioning to its fullest potential.
