In Reply to: 15 ips tapes . . . now that's a business model! posted by Bruce from DC on May 8, 2006 at 06:51:42:
Here is a history of the format and some of my experiences. One of the most important things to do is store tapes "tails" out and DO NOT rewind and fast forward unless absolutely necessary.I have had two 2 Track 15 ips copies of master tapes when I owned Aesthetic Audio and nothing equals an analog master tape!
