[ARSCLIST] Azimuth page updated

["Richard L. Hess" <arclists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christie and others -- with some good input from Michael Casey, I've 
updated my Azimuth page.

On the Ampex list, Steve Fuller suggested that you don't need to 
adjust azimuth for every tape. Indeed you do not if they were 
recorded on the same recorder with the same adjustment. In my work, I 
never know that. I have a bunch of 407 Ampex 2-track 1.88 in/s oral 
histories to do. After baking, I'll see how much they vary. Should be 
interesting. I suspect that they'll all be within the range of 
"mindless tweaking" and very far off from the demo at the Web site.

I'd appreciate any feedback or questions, but I'm leaving early 
Friday AM for San Francisco. Yup, I'm d-d-d-driving to the Audio 
Engineering Society conference. I'll be on the Broadcast Engineering 
Radio Panel at noon on Saturday 2006-10-07 and presenting my paper on 
tape degradation on Sunday 2006-10-08 in the 9 AM session P20. I'm 
scheduled to be the third paper, but these things sometimes change.

Cheers,

Richard
