Re: [ARSCLIST] To bake or not to bake?

Hi Lou:

Odds are VERY GOOD you WILL need to bake the Ampex 456 and Scotch 226 and VERY GOOD you WILL NOT 
have to bake the Scotch 206 and 207.

Curious -- what record label would master to Scotch 207? I was always told never to use 1 mil tape 
for anything critical like a master.
