<DIV><FONT size=4>As I mentioned before, I did lots of insert and assemble edits
on various</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>AMPEX machines: 1200's, 2000's, 2000B's, AVR-1's, AVR-2's and
AVR-3's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>A lot of those edits were done by "stretching" between
machines to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>roll the source and the destination tapes
simultaneously!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Then we had remote buttons to roll the machine that was
beyond</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>"stretch" range.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>But... the AVR-3's were the ultimate in
machine-to-machine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>standalone editing. Rolling the record machine would
also roll</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>the source machine with no "stretching" involved. The
AVR-3</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>editor was time code based and it was not unusual to
be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>doing edits on cut shots to correct a control room
error.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I did a lot of PM Magazine shows, using three AVR-3's.
The</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>middle machine was the recorder and the two outside machines
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>held the source material. When the control room
blew a transition</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I would take control of the source machine, find my cut
point</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>on the record machine, find the matching point on the
source</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>machine and do a preview. When the audio phased up, I
knew we </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>were ready to go!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Good times!!</FONT></DIV>
