....&....& tape dream .&&...&&&.
.....&...& #### ##### .&&&..&.&&
&.....&... .&.&&...&&
&&.....&.. 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. ..&....&..
...&...&.. ...&....&.
....&...&. ....&....&
&....&...& \\\\\\\\ artifacts \\\\\\\\ &....&....
.&....&... .&....&...
..&....&.. 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 &&&.....&.
