Magnetic Tape Noises

It's a line-recording of a compact cassete. There is a buzzing sound, then a click, and silence.

I didn't have longer buzz sample. It was the end of a side.

Raw (unprocessed) recording.

Signal path:

Technics RS-B505 → Beheringer Xenyx 805 → Zoom H2

Recorded at 48kHz/24-bit. Edited and converted to FLAC using Ardour 2.
