......&.&& .&....&...
........&& for storing music on. also data but ..&....&..
........&. at this point in time that's not ...&....&.
.......... really important i think. ....&....&

..&....... ;;;;;;;; types of tape ;;;;;;;; .&&....&..
...&...... .&&&....&.
....&..... class i - "bad" iron .&.&&....&
&....&.... class ii - good chromium ...&&&....
.&....&... class iii - bad iron part two ...&.&&...
..&....&.. class iv - dangerous metals .....&&&..
...&....&. &....&.&&.
....&....& rumors exist about a secret class v tape &&.....&&&
&....&.... that is actually useful. &&&....&.&
&&....&... &.&&.....&
.&&....&.. ;; bias ;; ..&&&....&
.&&&....&. ..&.&&....
.&.&&....& class i uses one hundred and twenty ....&&&...
...&&&.... micro-something while the others all &...&.&&..
...&.&&... use seventy of the same unit. &&....&&&.
.....&&&.. .&&...&.&&
&....&.&&. .&&&....&&
&&.....&&& ^^^^^^^^^ aha and ^^^^^^^^^ .&.&&...&.
&&&....&.& ...&&&....
&.&&.....& class iv is apparently too strong to &..&.&&...
..&&&....& be used on class i players. it will .&...&&&..
..&.&&.... sound too lound and it cannot be ..&..&.&&.
....&&&... completely erased. this is very well. ...&...&&&
&...&.&&.. maybe some wonderful blending effects &...&..&.&
&&....&&&. could be achieved? .&...&...&
.&&...&.&& ..&...&..&
.&&&....&& they also gnaw at the tape heads a bit ...&...&..
.&.&&...&. better than earlier tape types. &...&...&.

...&...&&& good tapes are decent and have a good ...&&&...&
&...&..&.& high frequency presence, bad tapes are ...&.&&...
.&...&...& lofi if not outright bad. idk, i kinda .....&&&..
..&...&..& like it. .....&.&&.
...&...&.. .......&&&
&...&...&. bias loss: if you forget the bias who &......&.&
&&...&...& knows whats even on there anymore &&.......&
.&&...&... &&&......&
.&&&...&.. flutter: kinda quick pitch variations. &.&&......
.&.&&...&. beautiful, wonderful, extraordinary. ..&&&.....
...&&&...& ..&.&&....
...&.&&... wow: a slower flutter, usually several ....&&&...
.....&&&.. seconds long. what up. both of these ....&.&&..
.....&.&&. increase when tape speed decreases. ......&&&.
.......&&& ......&.&&
&......&.& print through: tapes rub sound on each ........&&
&&.......& other if theyre alone for too long ........&.
