Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal
Hello everyone, I think I know what's cossing that problem. Air can get in to tite places. air always lieves dust and when it gets on magneted tape, it makes that squilling sound when you try to play it. Removing dust from one of these is a time consuming process. This may sound crazy, but it works. In the open end of the casset, run some water over the tape, but let it set and dry for up to 5 days. Rewind and fastforword just to make sure the tape moves threw the machine without any problem. After that, then try and play the tape. If it runs smoothley and you don't hear the squilling sound any mor, then you have done this successfully. I hope that this tip has been of some help to you, good luck. - Original Message - From: Bob Seed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2007 9:09 PM Subject: Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal Try another cassette in the machine and see what happens.

audio cassette squeel problem
The last thing that you want to do is to amerce your cassette in water. Make sure that anything that comes in contact with the audio tape is clean such as the tape transport, capstan, pinch roller, and record and playback heads. Once that is done, and the tape still squeeks then you may want to try the following. Tape Baking When magnetic recording tapes are being stored, moisture is slowly absorbed by the binder that holds the components of the tape together. Affected tapes will squeak when played back. The squeaking can be heard directly from the tape passing over the playback head and other fixed parts of the player, but is also transmitted electronically through the playback head. Often the tape will also sound dull and distorted. If you hear a tape that is squeaking, stop playing the tape immediately. Continuing to play a squeaking tape can cause permanent damage to the tape, and in some cases damage to the player. This problem can happen to any tape, but is more common in tapes manufactured after the mid 1970s in the USA. The solution to the problem of squeaking tapes is to bake the tapes at very low temperature in an oven. There are as many different opinions about optimum temperature and duration of baking as there are audio engineers. Certainly, do not attempt to bake your own tapes unless you can be certain that the temperature in your oven will not exceed 60 degrees Celsius CD ROM Services Pty Ltd offers a tape baking service, and although we have successfully baked well over a hundred tapes, and haven't damaged one, we will take all care in baking your tapes, but cannot take responsibility for accidental damage.

RE: Eliminating audio tape squeal
Hi Tom, Actually, I don't know why I didn't think of cleaning the head, etc, my brain must be in stand-by this weekend. Would you please remind me what is a safe solution to clean with? And the squeal does come through the speaker and headphones. Other tapes play just fine. I should probably state this is not a huge deal; it regards tape 1 of an NLS audio book I got late last week so I could read it over the long weekend.

Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal
Hello again everyone, There are head cleaning kits that you can get from a full line electronic store such as RadioShack. There ar two kinds of head cleaning kits. There is the dry kind, but I found that that kind doesn't work to well. There is also the wet kind which uses an alcohol baced solution. This does wonders for any tape recorder. But however, cleaning the heads won't get red of the squilling sound that you hear on some old dusty tapes. When dust gets on the tape, it cosses that problem. - Original Message - From: Norma A.

RE: Eliminating audio tape squeal
You can buy at various places (RadioShack, Wal-Mart, etc) a cleaning cassette. The box (that is, the cassette itself) has a small hole in the lower right front into which you can squirt a bit of cleaning solution (iso[propyl alcohol) that comes in the package in a small tube. Put the cassette in the machine, and play. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norma A.

Revox cassette recorder
The Revox cassette recorder that you are probably looking for is the model 710. Nakimichi made two professional cassette recorders in the 70's. The 1000, and the cheaper 700. I personally have the 700 model. It is a solenoid machine with three motors with Dolby, echo, and a oscillator for tape alignment. The thinking here is that there are no two cassettes alike despite how stringent manufacturing might be. By using the tone for alignment you could be assured of a perfect recording all of the time. . The 700 even comes with a wired remote control. This company also made a portable 600 model which was very good for field recording. You may also want to look at Tascam. Tascam is the professional line of Teac. If I had my druthers and wanted to stick with the audio tape format I would much rather use R-dat. The problem here is that R-dat is used professionally, and unfortunately did not catch on with the public as expected. It has been rumoured in the audio file community that CD's are now on the way out in favour of audio being put on flash cards and hard drives. It truly makes sense, as you can now get a 500 GB external hard drive for about 150 bucks. One could virtually have their entire record collection on one portable drive to take anywhere. Most commercial radio stations now have their entire music library on hard drives. [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Fwd: The Creative Zen Stone MP3 player
From: Brian Hartgen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wanted to let people know about a very affordable easy to use portable media player which Anna told me about and which I have just purchased. It is called the Zen Stone player from Creative, and it costs 25 pounds or 40 Us dollars. The player was released on 3 May this year and so is very new and is available just about everywhere you can think of including retail outlets and Amazon. The player is extremely small indeed and weighs less than one ounce and has no screen. It has a mode switch on the side (for cycling between some features such as repeat, play all or shuffle), and a typical wheel: up and down for volume, left and right to skip tracks or within a track, and play/stop in the centre. The mode switch, if pressed and held, will allow you to skip to the next album or folder which is a nice feature. The Zen Stone can accommodate up to 1 GB of storage. The great thing about this player is that no special software is required to transfer regular WMA or MP3 files to it. You can simply copy and paste using Windows Explorer. However, there is software which can be downloaded called Creative Media Light, which allows you to not only rip tracks from audio CD, but in addition once the audio extraction has taken place, the music is automatically transferred to the player. So for a person who does not want to get into the business of copying music to the player, this could be very good. There's a bit of scripting needing to be done with that, but I intend to issue some free JAWS scripts for this if I can get that particular item to work. Apart from that and one or two small issues of labelling buttons which I have done, the software is quite usable. The good thing about the software is that when the player is connected to the computer for charging, the status line will report the percentage of the charging process. Now to the final great feature. This player will allow you to play DRM Windows Media files and Audible content. When playing Audible content (up to format 3 only), and you stop playing the book and move to another folder, your position within the book is retained! I think that the storage capacity of the player, and the fact that the quality of format 3 is quite listenable, makes the use of this format quite acceptable. If anyone would like to know more about the player please let me know. But if you want something really simple on which to listen to music, podcasts and particularly Audible books, this is a very inexpensive option. If it does play DRM content, and I've no reason to doubt the claims made by the manufacturers, then this kind of player could be the start of people moving away from the iTunes music store (thank goodness) and to other music providers who offer DRM content.

Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal
Well that wouldn't be good. I think you would just run it through smoothly. I used to use alcohol and cuetips when I had a job cleaning tapes for the computers for the State of Michigan. These were open reel tapes that ran through a machine where it had blades on it to clean the excess dirt and iron oxide from the tapes. I'd have to use the cuetips after every other time I would clean a tape. I'm sorry if this is straying off topic, but this was some general information about using what I used. I think that maybe using a cuetip to clean a tape head would be a bit harder. - Original Message - From: Dale E. Heltzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC audio discussion list.
