How would you perform the calibration?

The same way you ALWAYS have to do it with cassettes that have no tones
on them... by ear.

It is sad and annoying. And it is never quite right.

You DON'T have a cassette calibration tape ?

It's futile, because the tapes being transcribed were never recorded with
correct calibration. What's worse, plenty of them vary in physical alignment
from one end of the tape to the other, since most cassette transports are
pretty sloppy.

If folks actually calibrated machines and laid tones down, 90% of the
transcription problems would be gone.
