Abstract

Abstract A cutting and recording system comprises a first reproducing magnetic head for reproducing a signal from a magnetic tape. A second reproducing magnetic head is disposed at a position preceding the first reproducing magnetic head in a running direction of the tape. Means are provided for detecting the level of the signal reproduced from the second reproducing head. Means are provided for angle modulating a carrier responsive to a signal reproduced from the first reproducing head. The level of this angle modulated carrier is controlled by the output of the signal from the second head. The output signal from the level controlling means and a direct wave signal are multiplexed. A cutting and recording of the multiplex signal is made on a record disc. The level of the carrier of the angle modulated wave is superposed upon the direct wave signal and cut and recorded on the same sound groove. This level is controlled in response to the level of the direct wave signal.
