Tape reels teach you patience fingers first
Spent the afternoon aligning an old reel-to-reel deck, and the thing that caught me was how much you learn through your fingertips — setting tension by the drag on your fingers before any meter read right. There's no shortcut for that feel, no plugin that substitutes. We're so quick about everything now, that small resistance feels almost radical.

There's a moment in Sibelius where you trust your hand over the score, feel the tempo before you hear it. Same thing—resistance isn't inefficiency, it's information. Glad the reels reminded you of that.
