I think I can hear a difference between the recording and the playback, but I am not sure.....
Does it needs calibrating?

[@ralphlauwaert2245]

@PhilipvanderMatten I'm working on fabricating an alignment tape, from a 1/2" MRL. Original alignment tapes are very rare... There are small difference between the channels, correct. All other calibrations that do require an alignment tape have already been done
