DOWNLOAD: Unusual_Techniques_Sound_Recording_Dorf_1950
The article is primarily concerned with studio-editing applications of the then-novel ‘magnetic tape recording’ technology, with some interesting bits regarding techniques for capturing greater dynamic range in disc-recording.

Is Reeves Sound Studios still in New York City near the UN Bldg.? I worked for them in the 60's and am interested in finding this out. I worked under John V. and I remember many of the persons that worked there then. Thank you for any info.
