head with several thicknesses of smooth paper, recording tape or any smooth insulating material of sufficient thickness to separate the tape I being recorded) from the range of the erase signal. Tests will determine just how much insulation is required to achieve the desired result. This insulation is placed along the tape channel and is secured in position by means of Scotch or splicing tape at each side of the head. Securing the insulation at the 'lead in' side of the head only will usually suffice for recording but rewinding will usually dislodge the insulation from position. ALWAYS dub the voice onto (or over ) the music track, NOT vice versa. Make some tests of dubbing on some separately recorded music tracks since sometimes the recording signal of the voice as it is dubbed over the music will have a slight erasing effect on the music track. These tests will enable you to determine proper microphone placement and recording level before you make the actual dubbing onto the master music track. SHOPPING • Continued from Page 386 f :3.8.

Califor ROME • Continued from Page 381 mated, the Arch of Septimus Severus, together with other points in this area will give you an excellent opportunity to film some of the history of Rome. Near the southwest entrance to the Forum (your exit point) is the Palatine Hill. Your entrance ticket to the Forum includes the Palatine. This hill was the first center of ancient Rome. The foundation of the city, which was the fusion of three small villages, is attributed to Romulus about 754 B.C. After struggles with the peoples of the neighboring hills and the eventual union, the Palatine merged into the city, which now consisted of seven hills. Under Augustus the Palatine became the imperial seat. Aristocratic families vied with each other in the building of magnificent palaces and monuments. Today, the Palatine is a collection of gardens, temples and palaces, of which suggestive remains can be seen. The cradle of early Rome, this is one place that should play an important part in your movies. Returning from the Palatine, you leave the Forum by the Arch of Titus.
