Re: [Avid-L2] Re:So you young whippersnappers might know where we're coming from...

I edited my first documentary in 1978 on a TRI-EA5. I don't even
remember the Sony deck model numbers, but they were old top-loaders.

No TC or even any numeric displays -- you parked the 3/4" tapes where
you wanted the insert to happen, then the controller backed the decks
up "approximately" 5 seconds, and you held your breath waiting to see
where the edit actually happened. The record machine stayed in insert
until you pushed a button.

I actually "offlined" the show, then went back and "onlined" it -- all
without TC. I wouldn't even DREAM of trying that today.
