This thread is intended for the sole purpose of summarizing the ground rules for the Global Traveling Tape Race project and for tracking the progress of your team's traveling tapes. If you are part of Team Maxell, I suggest using the "subsrcibe topic" feature so you will be notified up log updates.
Please use this thread only to discuss shipping related progress or issues. Casual conversation about the project should still be posted to the original thread for all members of both projects to see: http://www.boomboxery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5264
Traveling Tape Rules:
- [*:2ibdf2y2]Target recording time limit is 15~17 minutes per participant
[*:2ibdf2y2]Each particpant is expected to use a boombox or recording walkman to record their selections. No high-end portable field recorders or compontent cassette decks should be used.
[*:2ibdf2y2]Please test your boombox's recording and play functions thoroughly before setting up your recording. Let's do our best to make sure we don't use boxes that might eat a tape!
[*:2ibdf2y2]Source device can be whatever you are comfortable with (Phono, Tuner, Cassette Deck, boombox, whatever....) Just make sure you record music.
[*:2ibdf2y2]Record your tracks in series following the person who was ahead of you on the list. Tape 2 should only be used when tape 1 is full.
[*:2ibdf2y2]Please sign both of your team's cassettes with a fine tip permanent marker.
[*:2ibdf2y2]Please add your recording details to the recording log which should be included with the tapes you receive.
[*:2ibdf2y2]Please include the recording log and maybe a postcard, sticker or some other souvenir for the next participant.
[*:2ibdf2y2]It is each member's responsiblity to view this thread and PM the next person on the list to get address info. Do not post phone numbers, physical address or email address information in public forums (for obvious reasons).
[*:2ibdf2y2]Please notify your team when you have received and shipped the tape so we can periodically update this log
[*:2ibdf2y2]And most importantly - HAVE FUN!

) have Dolby or JVC's ANRS and I chose not to use it because I figure not all boxes have it..., and when you're playing back a tape you don't want to have to pay attention and flip that switch back and forth from track to track for "best" results. and not all Dolby circuits work the way they should, either. I typically default away from using Dolby on my home decks, too..
