The track being recorded nowTracks on tape: brighter when louderHiss: each track's own, modelled loud enough to hearA 24-track machine records each part on its own lane of two-inch tape, so nothing has to be bounced. Noise reduction lifts the quiet parts before the tape and cuts them after it, so the tape's hiss is cut too. Watch runs at half speed; Listen is real speed.
