And I mean like two weeks ago, and they're new, not never even heard of a zerostat It's never been demagnetized. Remember, I opened the offenders recently, too. Maybe they were manufactured somewhere else and somehow they accumulated charge. One interesting thing I'd like to point out though is that the difference between these problematic Maxell URs from all my other modern Maxell URs is that the tape appears slightly lighter in color, is slightly more transparent, and sounds a little duller. The slip sheets stopped sticking to the shell, but it did not eliminate the ticks. I used a generic glass cleaning solution and wiped all large parts of the cassette, including the reels. And then if I FF/REW and play again, those ticks might move somewhere else on the reel. For instance, a few songs are clean now, but the rest have those ticking static sounds. It turns out that I am able to move the ticks to some position the reel somehow but I cannot eliminate them. You guys recall when I said I managed to "improve the situation significantly"? Yeah, well I lied. Some of the antistatic sprays like those used to clean and/or treat antistatic/ESD work mats are slimy & stay that way. Yes the VinylEx, ArmorAll and carnauba car wax can be & will be slippery, they are NOT slimy when applied right. You also need to verify that it WON'T damage the plastic and/or the printing on the shell. That said some of these are quite slimy & stay that way. That said you can still get antistatic or static dissipating sprays. BUT I SUGGEST that you FIRST try it on a tape that you DON'T care IF it gets erased or otherwise damaged audibly from it's use on the cassette. The use of a Zero Stat record antistatic tool is a good idea. Which it does help dissipate the static & fend it off longer, but it does need to be redone from time to time. I use some carnauba car wax on my 26" CRT TV from time to time to help keep dust off due to static cling & attraction. You could also try using some car wax on the shell to help dissipate the static. Usually any liquid cleaner (at least those safe for plastics), and even something like VinylEx or ArmorAll can be used. amplifies it and you have the irritating clicking or popping. Your tape deck is the perfect path for a discharge all of that metal and then on top of that the high gain circuitry in the tape head amp. The charge needs a path or return to neutral or to be dissipated over a conductive surface. We used to use aluminum foil on circuit boards before shipping when the boss was to cheap to buy anti-static bags. Sitting here brain storming you may want to try winding the tape to one end, wrap the tape in aluminum foil and see if that discharges the shell or returns it to neutral ground. You had to use a thin film of liquid dish soap on the face of the meter to get rid of the static electricity to restore proper operation. Now in the old days when test equipment had meters with plastic covers the needle on the meter would be affected by static electricity and the needle or indicator would not return to zero. 24 bits : DVD-Audio, which can support up to 24-bit audio.If you can find it 409 is a liquid cleaner. 96,000 Hz : DVD-Audio, some LPCM DVD tracks, BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc) audio tracks, HD DVD (High-Definition DVD) audio tracks.īit depth: 16 Bits (?) More : In digital audio, bit depth describes the number of bits of information recorded for each sample. 48,000 Hz : The standard used by professional digital video equipment such as tape recorders, video servers, vision mixers and so on. Sampling Rate: 48,000 Hz (?) Search : Defines the number of samples per seconds taken from a continuous signal to make a discrete signal. It can not, for example, be used to sound an image taken outdoors. There is sometimes a little wind, some rumors, etc.Ī " indoor" sound usually contains a strong reverb. Used, for example, in virtual reality.Ĭonditions: Studio (?) A " studio" sound has been recorded in a reverb-free place.Īn " outdoor" sound contains disruptive elements. Ambisonic : aims to create a multi-channel sound space. Stereophonic : Is a method of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of directionality and audible perspective. Typically there is only one microphone, one loudspeaker. Click to display the full UCS list.Ĭhannels: Monophonic (?) - Monophonic : Is single-channel. This sound library meets the UCS 8.2 categorization. It provides consistency in a filename structure to make naming and categorizing easier for anyone who maintains their own personal or professional library. This is a list of fixed and consistent categories for classifying sound effects. UCS Category: COMAv (?) The UCS, for "Universal Category System", is a public domain initiative by Tim Nielsen, Justin Drury and Kai Paquin, among others.
