well, I hate to say this but this is why tape is dead. I have tons of stuff
I've recorded over the years archived on quarter-inch reel to reel tape and a
lot of it has deteriorated over the years just sitting in storage

I've tried the fast forward and Rewind, but it didn't change anything. I had
recorded this tape in 2007, but I hadn't listened to it but maybe once or twice
since then.

Annabel,
This is more likely due to your tape having stretched or being wound loosely,
causing the variance in volume. Have you done a fast-forward and rewind a
couple times, to "settle" the tape?
If it still has volume variance, then it could be an old tape.
I have a demagnetizer cassette for my standard-size cassette, but have never
seen one for a micro cassette. You may have to take your player to a repair
shop and have someone use a hand-held demagnetizer. Just be sure they know what
they're doing, or you can really mess up or damage your playback heads, if not
done properly.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
I'm wondering, what's the best way for a blind customer like me to
demagnetize a Microcassette Recorder? The reason why is because I want to
convert one of my microcassettes to a digital recording in Sonar, and I don't
want it to sound like the volume keeps going up and down all the time. Anybody
have any suggestions for me?
