[QUOTE=Thomas W. Bethe;
This same student told me that he could align a tape deck so I wheeled out our MTR-10 deck, got him a test tape and the necessary test equipment to do the alignment and told him to go at it. I also gave him the manual. He started sweating and then said "well I never really did the alignment of a tape deck but I watched the instructor do it" [/QUOTE]

Haha, these days if someone came in saying they could align a tape deck, I'd wheel one of ours out, too, and say: "Great! Can you remind me how to do it? I haven't done that in 10 years! And by the way, why the heck are they teaching you that? What's your ProTools skillset?"

(chuckle).
