How do I know when the speed is correct in my cassette player? snip You either need an alignment tape with timing beeps or one with a tone you can tune to a known tone source or electronic tuner. Tempo is more affected by tape speed error than is pitch, so just getting it in the ballpark isn't good enough. Cassette alignment tapes are still available here and there, but not cheap for a good one. Avoid any fakes, like Noodles' crap...the speed's probably off on those too. A tried and true method that'll get you close, assuming you have a cut on both CD and on cassette, is to play a CD copy and try to synch the tape to it. Then, the tempo difference will become very obvious very quickly. Using a real alignment tape would require you to have a frequency counter or at least an accurate tone source to beat the played back frequency with, so I assume such a tape wouldn't do you much good unless you want to invest in test gear. Try the above method; it usually will get you withing about 2% or the right speed. Rusty, don't listen to desertbob- he's an idiot ! |
