- Anyone care to either point out a website / book that explains tape splicing or explain it yourself? I need to splice leader tape for my own use and for mastering. I guess I'll be using the block provided on the top of my ATR102 (or is it better to buy a separate block?)

- Not sure if I'm printing test tones correctly. I've been using the tone generator out of Samplitude through my Benchmark DAC into the ATR102. One mastering engineer told me to adjust the level (in manual mode on the ATR) on the ATR so that in REPRO mode the level shows 0db on the VU (and I have had to adjust it for each frequency recorded as they are showing up as different values), is that correct? (instead of adjusting in INPUT mode). Or do I not want to touch the levels on the ATR at all?

Thanks for any help you tape freaks
