Nagra 4.2

The Nagra 4.2 tape recorder is a portable, monaural full track 6.35-mm (¼ inch) analogue tape recorder coming with tape speeds of 3,75, 7,5 and 15 ips, designed for radio, cinema and television applications.

While most modern productions now use digital equipment, there are still analog purists who insist that vintage Nagra gear is superior. Whatever the truth, these machines are outstanding examples of excellent audio engineering for exceptional, punchy sound.

Two Options to run Reel to Reel 2006 © V2007

To run Reel to Reel 2006 © you must either have the licensed Access software installed, or you can download Access Runtime in the current version (in 2022 it is Runtime 2016) from the Microsoft website for free and install on your computer. Since Access Runtime can be freely re-distributed, other websites like "The Access Man" distribute also some older versions of Access Runtime, currently back to Access Runtime 2007.
Should you use the licensed Microsoft Access software make sure you have also the latest Service Pack (SP) installed on your computer.

Microsoft Office Access 20xx Runtime is free Microsoft software that does not require a license. Access 20xx Runtime enables application developers to distribute Access applications to users who do not have the full version of Access installed on their computers.
Important: Do not install Access 20xx Runtime as long as another licensed Microsoft Access software version is installed on your computer! Otherwise, serious software conflicts may occur.

There are a couple of minor issues related with Access Runtime, which set Runtime apart from the licensed Access software. Two major differences however are that Runtime has no User Interface, which therefore must be provided by the application (such one like Reel to Reel 2006 ©), and that handling of errors in the VBA code and macros gives the user no option to stop an action in case of an error. If for example the user erroneously writes a duplicate value in a primary key field (e.g. a Tape No, or a Cassette-ID), Access Runtime shuts down if such error is not trapped by the code of the application. Reel to Reel 2006 © was tested for any such situations that could make Runtime shut down. Currently known errors that can't be trapped and handled by the database are 1) when you would try to save a duplicate of an existing Cassette-ID, 2) when you would try to lock/unlock a new, still empty dataset (record archive, open reel archive and cassette archive), and 3) when you would copy incomplete song details (with any empty field) from the Record Archive to a dataset in the Open Reel Archive. In all such cases Access Runtime shuts down due to error.
