Probably a dumb question 16 track 1" tape to 8 track
1Hello, tape machine wise men, here's a question. I want some 1" tape to record on a Brenell mini 8. There's a possibility that I could lay my hands on some second hand 1" tape that was used to record on a 16 track 1" machine (old sessions by my old band). The stuff that's on there could be archived to 1/4" and I could then theoretically use this to record some stuff on the brenell (if I erase it). NOW will the fact that it's been used to record on a 16 track have any detrimental affect on it's use on the 8 track? Like will their be twice as much chance of noise being left on any one track? If this is an idiotic question then I'm very sorry.. (also eliya the machine will be back in the studio here in a few weeks and I'll take the pic's/ measurements you wanted no problems)
