To my knowledge, before the use of computers in audio recording, to cut out errors etc. producers had to physically cut the tape from the analogue recorder and glue it back together. Especially the last part I can’t really comprehend. How do you glue together two loose ends of a tape without any overlapping exactly at the right place and without hearing any errors, stutters or something on the final recording?

[this is a great demonstration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkEfo4IVpjk&t=83s) of how an audio engineer would cut up reel-to-reel tape and then glue it back together and make it all sound seamless.
It shows how they’d “scrub” the tape looking for the exact spot to cut, mark it, cut it on an angle, and then tape it back together.
