I am finding lots of pre-recorded tapes with nothing on them about what bias or eq they were recorded at or what type of tape was used. Do any of you folks have any "rules of thumb" for unmarked tapes? I'm guessing there must be some based on year recorded, recording company, type of music, etc?
Thanks
Vince
