We store master tape with the tales out (ending of tape to the outside of the reel) to keep this effect to a minimum. It's unavoidable but this helps. At least you know you are getting a 100% analog recording.
Sound right before song begins on vinyl, what is it?
I have found on many LP's, that there will be a faint "pre-song" sound. Is this a mistake in the recording process? It is the music starting faintly before the music actually starts. Who understands this better than I do? I know we have some recording guys here. Why do we hear this on a lot of LP's? Thanks,
Bill
