A. Yes. Stereo cassette recorders have been used professionally for sync sound field recording since the early ’70’s with excellent results. Normally, one of the stereo channels is reserved for recording the 60hz. sync signal from either the camera (if it is set up for cable sync) of from a crystal sync generator. This leaves the other stereo channel for the microphone signal. If the cassette recorder has been so modified, it can also be used to resolve (see “What is a resolver…”) the field audio tapes to either magnetic film or videocassette. Otherwise, a sound lab can be used to accomplish these transfers.
