That's how I do it. When the machine eats it and if the tape is not totally chowed, you can alternately pull the tape from either side until is gets sucked back into the cartridge. I have had over 8ft of tape out of the cartridge and managed to get it to suck back in that way

The Who - Quadrophenia - Vinyl Sourced

So you took a 2 channel input and made a 4 channel output?

Housework break....Northwinds inspired.

Led Zeppelin II

Elvis Costello - This Years Model
(1978, Columbia) -1C/-1C; Promo label, timing strip/stamp on back cover

Too bad someone apparently spilled coffee on the cover, but it did it's job in keeping the record in NM- shape. Thunderous bass and drums. This was a bright spot for me when it released in the late 70s.

Nancy Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood - Nancy & Lee Again
(1972, RCA)

"oh..suffer along Jerry Reed because Hazlewood's pickin' tonight" More fun from Nancy & Lee.

Derek And The Dominos ‎– Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
(1970, Atco) '72 Polydor issue; STERLING in the deadwax

This record is a great listen through all four sides. Although Layla is one of those played to death classic songs, it's a track which always sounds interesting and new to my ears.

So you took a 2 channel input and made a 4 channel output?

I made a mistake there. The program wasn't registering the quadraphonic signal. So I used SQ decode to make a 4 channel digital sound file and then sent each channel to the 4 channels of my soundcard which outputs 2 channels per amp, 2 amps. Now it seems to be working fine but it is questionable how well the SQ quadraphonic decoding works as I have never heard quad before so not sure how its supposed to sound. Saying that though, the front and rear speakers sound totally different so I think I may be 80% there.

Hookay...

The Pretty Things - S. F. Sorrow
(1968, Columbia) 2014 German pressing on Madfish

Sounds great with clearly defined bass and other instruments, but I don't have an original to compare to.
