Hey Gospodin, I just found this dusty reel‑to‑reel from the 1950s and I’m dying to know how those early engineers planned their recording sessions without the conveniences we have today. What do you think was the most strategic decision they had to make when they pressed that tape?

Back then the biggest decision was how to slice that raw tape – you had to pick the speed, decide whether to go mono or stereo, and lay out every track in one go because there was no editing later. The engineer had to know exactly how many minutes the piece would need, line up the tape reels, and lock in the groove before the machine even ran. One wrong choice and you had to start over.
