Okay, I sat with it recording You Tube on tape B
Various things including:
Isolation-Joy Division, favorite song of theirs (first one I ever heard while listening to a weak college FM, and in mono)
Rotation-Herb Alpert (original 1980 video) Here I start testing jamming the levels some. The tape took it. The recording is better on my LP and 8-track but the video clip is not doctored with overdubbing...that is the way it was in 1980 and it runs into Rise in the sequencing of the film clip.
Catch Me I'm Falling-Pretty Poison (Hiding Out-Jon Cryer movie soundtrack cut) Kicks ass. Strong as BO and accurate as an angry Klingon.
If that or Rotation didn't give me an idea, Election Day (Long version) by Arcadia made up my mind.
Tape B is a very nice tape for low-noise, high output sound, even into the red zone by 2-4, even occasionally peaking.. You Tube sound can surprise you, even with ols mono 70's clips.
I have all of these songs in various formats including, as I mentioned, in mono on a rescued cassette I made off air taping on.
Deck: Teac V-500X used without and with B NR (DBX not used)
Source: You Tube
Sound to recorder: From Dell Inspiron I1000 sound card
Playback monitoring: Pioneer SE-30 and my stereo TV
Do you want the A tape now?
Is somebody going to guide me as to how to finish the graphics package?
I am stone freaking stuck and lost, seriously.
