tapeless
Lacking sticky strips
Tapeless describes recording or playback systems that don't use magnetic tape.
The term emerged as digital technology replaced tape-based formats in audio, video, and data storage: tapeless workflow, tapeless camcorder.
A tapeless studio records directly to hard drives or memory cards rather than reel-to-reel or cassette tape.
