Calibrating a tape machine may seem daunting, but it can be a breeze with industry pros' tips and tricks. The first and most crucial step is to calibrate the output side of the tape machine first. This is because if someone calls you to calibrate your tape machine, they likely want to transfer over the tape and not necessarily record anything new.
Understanding the different EQ settings needed for different tape speeds is also essential. For example, if you're running at 30 inches per second, you'll need to adjust the high-speed EQ. Run a 10k tone through the machine and adjust it up or down to match.
In conclusion, mastering the art of tape calibration takes time, patience, and practice. But with the right tips and tricks from industry pros, you'll be able to achieve the warm, analog sound that only tape can provide. Remember to calibrate the output side first, write the level number on your track sheet, understand the different EQ settings, and verify the voltage when plugging in external equipment. Follow these steps, and you'll be well on becoming a tape calibration master.
