Considering buying a used tape machine off eBay or Craigslist? This meeting will tell you what to watch out for, questions to ask, and the care and feeding of your machine after you bring it home. Hosted by AES Nashville. Panelists will be Kerry Kopp, former director of Engineering for Emerald Studios. Randy Blevins, MCI. Terry Palmer, Otari. Steve Smith, Studer. I will be discussing tape suppliers, tape baking and other archival issues.

This would be a great time for those who have used tape machines in the past and would like a refresher course in alignment and theory.

Where is the Quonset Hut? Entrance is on the alley behind the Curb Building (formerly Sony Music, formerly CBS Records and Studios) on 16th Avenue South (34 Music Square East). There is no signage. Entrance is the nondescript door in the middle of that building.
