Introduction to recording
@
Copying

and
recording
of
radio
programmes
is
permissible
only
insofar
as
copyright
or
other
rights
of
third
parties
are
not
thereby
infringed.
@
The
strength
at
which
the
sound
is
recorded
on
the
tape
determines
the
quality
of
the
sound
obtainable
on
playback.
This
‘recording
level’
is
adjusted
via
the
controls
@
and
62
when

and
68)
and
by
the

63
and
@)

all
other

recording
level
is
checked
by
reference
to
the

level
meters

the
level
is
too
high
or

tape
noise,
respec-
tively,
will
be
heard
on

Post-fading
It is possible, during playback, to fade-out and
fade-in parts of the recording. This is particularly
useful when undesired applause, announcements,
background noise, etc. are present on the tape.
Caution should be taken when using the facility,
since incorrect use can spoil the recording. It is
recommended that an old dispensable recording is
used to gain experience of this facility as follows:
@ Play the tape and take note of the start and
duration in seconds of the piece to be faded-out.
