Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:41pm
Krys O.:

If you want to use Type II tapes in coloured Type I shells you have to overcome several challenges:

You need to fool the machine into recording when the tabs are already knocked out. This is easy to do by placing scotch tape over the hole or by a simple modification to your deck to prevent the sensor pin from going down into the hole.
You must have a button to select TYPE II or HIGH BIAS when recording. If you don’t have the button you could drill out a hole on the top spine of the cassette (not really something we recommend). You’ll notice some cassettes are molded with the chrome notch cavity covered by a thin plastic roof. You could try punching out that roof to turn your normal-notch cassettes into chrome-compatible cassettes.
If you use normal-notch cassettes with high bias tape, you need to figure out the record and playback EQ.

Now I'm trying to see if I can remember what Dolby HX was, without checking references.

I think it was just cleverly cutting back on the high-frequency bias applied when there was enough high-frequency energy in the program material to do the job itself.

Now, should I look and see how badly I mucked that up?

Those Cut Worms somehow make the wistfuls fall. Remind me of some '90s bands, Canyon, etc.
