An excerpt from the studio maintenance log

The Sony / MCI JH-24 2" tape machine was not recording properly on track 9.  These are my notes detailing the troubleshooting process, and eventual solution.

Remix complete

MCI JH-24 in action. The tracks were recorded and edited in Samplitude, then transfered to 2" 16 track with EQ via the Toft console.

Reel of 2" ATR Magnetics tape, labelled as per Archive standard practices, of course.

The track sheet. 

Toft ATB16 repair

If only it was always this easy to find the point of failure. Note opamp cracked in two. When (and how!) the frig did that happen? Unfortunately that was not the only bit needing fixing today, and the others were not so easy.

Remix in progress

Recording drums for an upcoming remix project. Note Jon's huge monster kit. Monster I tell you
