.&.&&...&& &&......&&
&&&.&..&.& 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 .&&&.&..&.
