Two. Hundred. Tapes. New word, y'all... Omaroasted.

45. As a long-time audio/video production professional & musician ...

... I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me what format these "tapes" were recorded on.

Microcassette?

Call it a pet peeve of mine, but the media keeps talking about "tapes" & yet I haven't used tape (analog, yes there's still DLT for data backup) in years, unless I want to dip into my virgin supply of Ampex 456 1/4" & use it for mastering an album to get that old school tape compression/distortion sound.

So ... "tapes?" Exactly what kind of tapes? It's relevant because it determines how easily the recording could have been made. Ever try to record a phone call on tape on a Studer A800? Uh ... no. Not believable. Tell me the tape format & the recorder used & I can make an informed judgement about how plausible the claim is.

Sorry about the rant, but as someone who records audio on an almost-daily basis, I'm tired of our media saying "tape" when they mean "recording."

Ok ... rant off.
