Yeah,Knute, we gain and we lose. A few years back we were recording a band on 24 track two inch. I couldn't convince them to count their songs off, and sure enough, they had a song that needed an overdub right from the get-go.

The band thought they'd have to play the song again and count it until I showed them the trick. We put the tape in upside down so it ran backwards. I recorded a track clicking drumsticks in time with the backwards music and kept going for a while after the music stopped. We turned the tape over and had a click to count us in.

Can't do that on an ADAT...but wait, the ADAT is obsolete!

All the Best,
Mike
