.#...#...# 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. ..#..#....

....#....# ......#..#
#....#...# 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 .#...#...#
