That's so cool, shows how much me and many others take DAWs for granted.

The splicing tape trick is, a roll of splicing tape in a tape dispenser, cut it off with the razor blade and tag the tape to the edge of the blade - then using the blade with a strip stuck to it, place it in the edit block slot (much easier to position) and press it in as you peel the end off the blade. (This from a decade of tape editing in the 70's). Nice work!

So glad we don't have to do this anymore. Can't make a mistake.

@@mikebozik but you can. All you gotta do is tape it back up. When I first started I made a ton of mistakes. My first single “feelin free” has an edit during the 2nd verse. I threw the original away in the trash. Then I decided to go back to the original and dug it out of the trash and taped it back on the master!!! lol good times…
