I'm talking about how the term was used in the studios I was exposed to.

Even in that article, the two definitions are very, very close to being the same thing, and in the studios I was familiar with, both of the tapes the article defines would have been referred to as "gaffer's tape". They're just different varieties of gaffer's tape.

It's all just slang, though, so I'm not surprised that the definition varies from crowd to crowd.




Just ask KaTe Bush.


Or her Usenet fan group.

Damn, that neuron hasn't lit up since about 1992.
