[BC] Article in RW Workbench--Question?

[Dana Puopolo]

No, you are NOT comparing the record to the playback-you are comparing the
OSCILLATOR to the playback! Let's say the recorder is running slow-it would
record the tone slow and pay it back slow-COMPARED TO THE OSCILLATOR! Same
thing if it was running fast. You are using the OSCILLATOR as your
standard-and as long as that standard isn't changed during and after the
recording, the standard can be ANY frequency!

'Scuse me, Tom...

As I understand your explanation below, this method would only work if the
recording were made at the proper 1 7/8's IPS but allowed speed adjustment
during playback.  If the recording took place at some other speed, that
other speed would be required to play it back properly.
