And a calibrated test tape and lots of time. I remember aligning 
24-track machines. It's done after everyone's gone to the bar or
diner and you're left alone to get you studio ready for the next
day, hoping to get some sleep before it starts. It's no fun,
certainly not compared to recording or mixing some nice music.
