	analog audio tape cassette nostalgia - tapedeck.org
		Tapedeck.org is a project of neckcns.com, built to showcase the amazing beauty and (sometimes) weirdness found in the designs of the common audio tape cassette.
		Although there were other magnetic tape cartridge systems at the time, the Compact Cassette became dominant as a result of Philips' decision (in the face of pressure from Sony) to license the format free of charge.
		It went on to become a popular (and re-recordable) alternative to the vinyl record deck during the 1970s.

	Tape recorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It records a fluctuating signal by moving a strip of magnetic tape across a tape head.
		Current flowing in the coils of the electromagnet causes the magnetic material on the tape to align in a manner proportional to the original signal.
		The signal can be reproduced by running the tape back across the tape head, where the reverse process occurs - the magnetic imprint on the tape induces a small current in the read head which approximates the original signal.

		The controls for the Audio Tape Deck can be confusing, because the Audio Tape Deck is connected throught the [Graphic Equalizer].

	Analog Tape
		The basic electronic requirements for a tape deck are an amplifier and bias oscillator for recording and a preamplifier for playback.
		Tape echo is developed by the distance between the record and play heads on a tape deck.
		Since the tape has a certain amount of noise built in, the basic quandry is to get the signal as hot as possible (to be louder than the noise) but not distorted due to tape saturation.

	The Phish.Net - How to Trade Tapes - Before You Trade
		Before answering this question, let me explain what a tape head is: a magnetized piece of metal in your tape deck that interacts with the metal particles on the tape in some scary way devised by electrical engineers.
		The erase head, astoundingly, erases the tape that travels by it when activated by the tape deck before it is recorded onto.
		Next comes one of the most important features of a three head deck: the tape passes by the play head where the music that was just recorded onto the tape is played.

		That means that if you’re coating a Rhode Island-sized amount of tape with each second of music on a compact cassette, you’re coating an Alaska-sized amount of tape with each second of music on a videocassette.
		Taping from a VCR is the same process as taping from a CD player.
		You’ll find that taking a level and cueing the tape is slightly less convenient, but no different than using a dual-well cassette deck.

	cassette deck buying guide
		For example, you don’t have to turn over a tape to play (or record on some decks) side B on a deck with auto-reverse, but the sound quality in the reverse direction will be considerably poorer than it is in the forward direction.
		At the point where cassette decks and CD recorders converge in price, a cassette deck is still a valid purchase if you have an investment in blank or pre-recorded cassettes.
		Tapes recorded with Dolby S® or Dolby B® can sound OK when played back on a car unit or portable player without a decoder, but you’ll lose the benefits.

	Cassette deck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tape width was just 0.125 inches (3.2 mm) and tape speed was 1.875 inches (4.76 cm) per second, which meant that sound quality was appropriate only for voice or dictation use at the time with high end response dropping off beyond 10 KHz and high noise levels.
		By the late 1980s, thanks to such improvements in the electronics, the tape material and manufacturing techniques, as well as dramatic improvements to the precision of the cassette shell, tape heads and transport mechanics, sound fidelity on equipment from the top manufacturers far surpassed the levels originally expected of the medium.
		Cassette equipment needs regular maintenance, as cassette tape is a magnetic medium which is in physical contact with the tape head and other metallic parts of the recorder/player mechanism.

		James Boyk - owner of and producer at Performance Recordings in Los Angeles; concert pianist; and director of the music lab, pianist-in-residence and lecturer in music in the department of electrical engineering at Caltech, in Pasadena - is such a person.
		That first spec is as good a number as any manufacturer has ever claimed for a commercial tape deck, even a modern servo type.
		But the relevant thing is not the width of the tape; it's the width of the track.

		The tapes regardless of what kind, do not play at the right speed, in other words they play slower then other tape decks.
		Therefore with the JVC TD-W209 Dual Cassette Deck, it is not that easy to be able to put beats and music together like you want them to be, when you are trying to make your remixes on a cassette tape, with the JVC TD-W209 Dual Cassette Deck.
		I personally prefer to get cassette decks that have the regular analog manual keys, where you press down on the keys, because you have more control over the keys, when you are trying to record.

	Tape Deck Counter to Time Converter For the HP-67/97
		This program converts from the non-linear reading of a mechanical video or audio tape deck counter to elapsed time, and vice versa.
		Or, if the counter reading is 325 and a 4 minute 25 second track is to be recorded, the program computes that the counter reading will be 396 at the end of the passage.
		Program displays "error" if counter or time reading are greater than allowed by tape deck-tape combination (e.g., input 53 minutes for a 46 minute tape will give an error).

		Clean the Heads Use cotton swabs and tape-head cleaner to clean your deck’s playback head, as well as its capstan and pinch roller (the spinning pin and rubber roller that work together to grip the tape and move it across the heads).
		The tape becomes just sticky enough to adhere to the tape deck’s heads, emitting a squeal.
		But many older decks don’t, and if you own one of these, you’ll need to set its front-panel switches to correspond to the type of tape you’re restoring.

		I've heard mixed results with the transmitters, I assume connecting through the tape deck isn't as complicated and produces more consistent results...
		I'm using the transmitter simply because my tape deck is broken, and I'm pretty happy with the iTrip, but if push came to shove, I'd be happier with a cassette adapter since you don't have to deal with static or interference from other FM stations (or other people's FM transmitters!).
		I got a tape adapter and I am very pleased with the results...

		People tend to devalue a tape in their mind if part of the message is missing.

	How To Adjust Tape Speed and Heads w/ Pics
		If your deck doesn't have an outboard adjustment for changing the playback speed you can still generally do it (unless its an incredibly cheap/cheesy deck) by opening up the cover and finding an adjustable resister for the tape take-up motor.
		Well I'm not going to give a how-to demo on adjusting tape heads since you can probably Google several sites that show you how to do that already but, I thought I'd show you at least where to look for the head adjustment screw (there may be more than one on your deck).
		The record head usually only pops-up into the tape path after you hit the record button, so that'll give you a good idea of which is which.
