That's generally true. Although weren't there some decent classical
tapes produced?
We tried. We tried really hard, doing realtime duplication (and not with
those awful Kaba machines either) as well as trying to do bin mastering at
lower speeds. We tried all kinds of fancy shells and gadgets that were
supposed to keep the azimuth from drifting and we went crazy trying to keep
duplicator slaves aligned.
I don't miss those days at all.
