Based on the success of Digital Audio Tape in professional environments, both companies saw a market for a new consumer-oriented digital audio recording system that would be less expensive and perhaps less fragile.

An ADAT XT 8-channel digital audio recorderAlesis Digital Audio Tape or ADAT is a magnetic tape format used for the simultaneous digital recording of eight analog audio or digital audio tracks at once, onto a Super VHS tape that is used by consumer VCRs.

* In 1991 Alesis Digital Audio Tape or ADAT is a tape format used for simultaneously recording eight tracks of digital audio at once, onto Super VHS magnetic tape-a format similar to that used by consumer VCRs.

She has since made a further series of recordings for Master Tape, variously entitled Luk tung sa on and Mor lam sa on, each on VCD, CD and audio tape formats (" sa on " in the Isan language meaning roughly " enjoyable ").

* Digital Audio Tape ( or DAT ) is the most well-known, and had some success as an audio storage format among professionals and " prosumers " before the prices of hard drive and solid-state flash memory-based digital recording devices dropped in the late 1990s.

Stockham's developments and contributions to digital audio paved the way for later digital audio technologies, such as the audio compact disc and DAT ( Digital Audio Tape ).

The arrival of the DAT ( Digital Audio Tape ) in the 1980s introduced a new level of audio recording fidelity with extended frequency response and low self noise.

Each tape file must be described by Tape File Specifications, produced by Aj.

" The band produced a 17-track demo at Fort Apache soon afterwards, known to fans as " The Purple Tape " because of the tape cover's purple background.

Tape bias is the term for two phenomena, DC bias and AC bias, that improve the fidelity of analogue magnetic tape sound recordings.

Tape drives are used with autoloaders and tape libraries which automatically load, unload, and store multiple tapes, increasing the volume of data which can be stored without manual intervention.

Tape relay, sometimes informally called " torn tape operation " was commonplace during much of the 20th century.

In 1930, Drew developed a transparent tape based on cellophane, called Scotch Tape.

Because the previously used generic term " duck tape " had fallen out of use, he was able to trademark the brand " Duck Tape " and market his product complete with a yellow cartoon duck logo.

After profiting from Scotch Tape in the 1930s, 3M produced military materiel during WWII, and by 1946 had developed the first practical vinyl electrical tape.

The TX-2 Tape System was a block addressable 1 / 2 " tape developed for the TX-2 by Tom Stockebrand which evolved into LINCtape and DECtape.

* Tape lace ; makes the tape in the lace as it is worked, or uses a machine-or hand-made textile strip formed into a design, then joined and embellished with needle or bobbin lace.

The first tape cartridge designed for general consumer use, including music reproduction, was the Sound Tape or Magazine Loading Cartridge ( RCA tape cartridge ), introduced in 1958 by RCA.

Avon is the headquarters of Duck Products, a division of Henkel, who hold the Duck Tape trademark for their brand of duct tape.

The Yellow Tape is the Barenaked Ladies ' third indie tape release, after Buck Naked in 1989 with just Ed Robertson and Steven Page, then Barenaked Lunch ( also known as the Pink Tape ) in 1990, with bassist Jim Creeggan and percussionist Andy Creeggan.

# The 3 ' OH of the 5 ' exon triggers the second transesterification at the 3 ' splice site thereby joining the exons together.

* Electrical splice, the joining of wires in electrical wiring

* Optical splice, the joining of optical fibers:

This is a splice joint and is an alternative to scarfing when joining shorter members end to end.

* figure-eight " splice " knot-A splice-like bend knot used for joining two ropes.

Marker, an aspiring recording engineer, was learning how to splice audio tape.

In fact, part of this de-spooling tone can be heard at the leader splice of some pre-recorded audio cassettes, as a very low-frequency arpeggiated rumbling, but as an actual tone when played back at a higher speed.

The clear leader spreads the shock load to a long stretch of tape instead of to the microscopic splice.

Unlike the Stereo-Pak, the Stereo 8 could switch between tracks automatically, with the use of a small length of conductive foil at the splice joint on the tape, which would cause the player to change tracks as it passed the head assembly.

The cartridges have an audible pause due to the presence of a length of metallic foil, which a sensor detects and signals the end of the tape and acts as a splice for the loop.

Failing that, another solution was to open the cartridge, cut the tape at the splice, and relieve the excess tension by manually unwinding one or two sections from the outer edge of tape ( loop length ) while keeping the reel stationary, then re-splicing the tape, with a fresh piece of foil ( since the old foil was usually caked with built-up graphite reducing conductivity and making it difficult to change tracks ).

In response, he invented a modification which concealed the splice by using extremely narrow but strongly adhesive strips of special polyester-silicone tape.

The tape ends in a Stereo-Pak are not connected by a splice made of a conductive material — as are the later " automatic " switching 8-track cartridges.

The 1 / 2 " loop of tape in the duplicator usually will have a segment of clear leader spliced in between the beginning and end of the program ( with some duplicators using a metal foil splice instead ).

This clear leader splice is read by an optical sensor ( or in the case of a foil splice, coming in contact with electrical contacts in the tape path ) in the loop bin duplicator, which triggers a cue tone that is recorded to the reel of 1 / 8 " pancake tape.

This cue tone tells the loader to stop and cut the tape from the pancake and splice it to the other length of leader in the cassette shell ( a process called " de-spooling ").
