"The Sensible Sound" (Fall 85) mentions that video tapes shed small amounts of oxide, with better tapes shedding less. The tape will provide better performance on 2nd, 3rd & 4th play because of it being smoother and the cassette mechanism loosened up. They recommend using the best grade tape & breaking it in first to make the best recordings. However, they caution not to use a tape that has been used for special effects because this can damage a tape. -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Paul Blumstein "I deny this reality!"
