Hi, just wondering if anyone knew if it's possible to erase reels of 1/4" tape using a hand-held head demagnetizer?
cheers

Och well, at least our colonial legacy is quaint and in the past tense. But there's no need to feel left out, my stateside chums. Why not start 'Orange Day?'. You could put on orange overalls, shackle your hands and feet and get wheeled around on trolleys like all those cute foreign guys that you ab...

I've done this. i didn't have it hard up against the cloth, maybe about 10 inches off it, so I couldn't comment about extreme spl handling. The nicest way you could describe the sound would be 'transparent', though 'piss-thin' or 'fizzy' might be closer to the truth. It did give harmonics and feedba...

His death was probably eclipsed by that of Hunter S Thompson.
There's a thread about him.

This mod wouldn't involve selling the alesis to some idiot on Ebay by using the words 'industry standard' several times in the advert, then putting the proceeds towards getting a dbx166, by any chance?

they're nearly as entertaining as the territorial types

Goddammit, that'll teach me to try and be clever. I've just done a quick googling of the matter. The figure of 90% of the speed of light seems to be quoted. I'd always assumed that it was all down to electrons, but now it seems they are dancing to the beat of an electronmagnetic wave, which would li...

The sound coming out of the DI is going immediately (speed of light, anyway) to the console. I hate to split hairs, but i'm fairly sure it's not the speed of light. I once recieved a stern talking to by a physics teacher for suggesting that electrons moved at the speed of light through a cable. It'...

Do Prolapse count? They should. I thought Bis were amazing until they signed proper record deals. They never did anything truly great after that. I like most of the bands on this list. Two of the guys from Bis are now doing a screaming-over-keyboards-techno-thing called Dirty Hospital. Played a gig...

You can get a behringer SHARK for cheap. You could tweek the phase using its delay feature, which is designed to cure feedback problems. I've never used one. Going by my experience of behringers 'affordable range of compressors' i think it's fairly safe to say that it'll be totally unreliable and so...
