In Reply to: RE: Tape Woe's posted by grhughes on July 29, 2011 at 16:09:54
I don't know what happened that's why I posted it, hoping someone knew exactly what causes this!!! It's weird because it's about half way throught the tape when it gets bad. The first half is fine then all of a sudden!!! This was new RMGI 468 tape stored upright in a cool enviroment just like my other tape.

USRecording or wherever you bought it, to see if they've ever heard of this or are willing to replace the tape?
Maybe you can send an email to RMGI, see if they have anything to say about it. At the very least, if you bought it from an authorized source, they should replace it.
No I didn't I just threw it away and got another tape.
I'd say not a tape defect. Perhaps your tape deck's speed regulation board failed during the last half of that tape. Or some other transport defect that caused speed error. It's an intermittent defect.
Hi Jay,
From the post you made on the TP forum regarding this issue, I got the impression that the sound was speeding up and slowing down on playback.
I may have just misread your post. I say this because if this issue began with you doing a recording, the tape speed slowing during recording (like from a sticky tape)would result in the playback being too fast in those sections. If the sound was recorded at a "higher" speed than it was played back, the playback would sound slow.
If the tape speed was too high, then it's probably a capstan speed issue (as Tim L suggested) or your source.
Steve,
I am not really sure what you mean, the tape recorded and played back the first three songs just fine. Then some where during the forth song it started to sounding a little funny, and it got progressively worst as the song continued all the way to the end of that tape. I got out another tape and rerecorded it and all is fine, so my feeling was it was a bad tape. I still don't really know for sure but, if it doesn't happen any more it must have been the tape.
Putting the tape on another deck does not rule out the original deck as the problem. The deck's speed control (or something else) temporarily failed during record. It back to working now, which is possible. The tape could be fine and the deck just had a intermittent failure during record.
Well you may be right about it being the deck I don't know, but when I put another tape on and rerecorded it all was fine!!!
The first thing I did was to rule out the deck, by putting the tape on another deck!!! I got the same results it was the tape period.
