[sdiy] tape splicing

[Dave Krooshof]

>1. no gaps in the tape use an Edit-all splicer.

>2. you did put the splicing tape on the back, the non oxide side.

>3. diagonal splicing really helps

4. Use a razorblade that is not (yet) magnetic.

5. search for good editing points. It helps cutting *just* before a
transient such as a snaredrum. You've got to hide the dust under
the carpet: An edit should be followed immediatly by something
more interesting then a tape edit.

6. rough endings to a sound are more of a problem then rough attacks.

7. if possible, do the edit befor you apply any reverb

8. use a good sense of timing or a good counter, or a non magnetic
roll-mate, taylor style.

9. etc.
