I remember someone using a VCR tape for audio recording from the radio.
He set the record time to six hours and when recording, would write down
the time in order to locate a desired segment at a later date.

How is the sound quality at such a slow tape speed? Speech may be
acceptable, but would music still be of good enough quality?



If you're using an earlier, linear track only machine, slow speed
audio can be pretty poor.

VHS Hi-Fi, though, can be surprisingly good even at the slowest speed.

I frequently used a VHS Hi-Fi machine for airchecks when producing
large scale field events that would sometimes run two or three days.

The audio was always so good I never had to be embarrassed about the
quality when I presented a recording to a client, or host sponsor.
