A recording session, during which the many sepajrate tracks of information on a multi-track tape are processed and combined (that is, mixed down) to form a two or four track program, which is then recorded on a second machine.
"I received th CDs last week. They are fantastic. My wife had 'butchered these recordings as LPs and I had little hope for any more than a scratchy recording. What I got was a recording that was 99.99% clean - approaching the quality of the LP whan it was new. Thanks"
