PRINT THRU

(1/5) > >>

QUEEF BAG:
ok...
ATR 102 HALF INCH RUNNING AT 15 IPS.
SET UP AT +6

print a mix, play it back and print thru
on the tape.

RMG 900 tape.  

this should take months or years to happen.
if at all.

WTF ?

anybody else have this problem?

Michael Brebes:
The hotter the signal on tape, the higher the level of print-thru.  It doesn't take months or years to happen.  I remember hearing it on recordings all the time, even in the vinyl days.  It's one of the factors of recording to tape. Always has been and always will.

QUEEF BAG:
the tape is not being slammed, VU peaks at 0dB

tape tension is not excessive, bias is spot on.

this is for sure more than the average print thru...

about on par with that one Zep tune.

zmix:
Do you hear print through after the first pass on virgin tape or is it possible that the erase head is not functioning properly?
