  • Nice tape.

    I wonder if I can use 3m 996 with Nagra 4.2 for recording? (I mean 7" reels). Can I calibrate Nagra 4.2 to use this tape? No way to use another RtR, because I'll record on location.

  • @Vladislaw81 Well, from what I am aware of, Ampex made a few specialized types of tape specifically for Nagra machines. For example, 408 and 480. So, I don't know if you'll be able to use just any kind of tape, regardless of recalibration.

  • How did you get the orange reels instead of gold? Or is that just the tint of the video?

  • @staffcurtis It's just the tint of the video.

  • Nice tape machine :) I just love the way that a good RTR sounds and that can be even heard through the compressed audio here on YT. Btw, when it was made? I couldn't find any information on these machines.

  • @AttilaSVK Early 1980's.

  • I dont have a reel to reel but i would like to get one. I was wondering if most of the old tapes are ruined or if they survived? There are alot on ebay but i am not sure if they would still work.

  • @AttilaSVK u kiddin, otari still makes them, look at the otari page at otari.com under products and audio recorders/editors

  • @iabhornc you could probably call up a local radio station and they'll GIVE it to you. That's what I did! :)

  • thanks . much appreciated
