Abstract
A magnetic tape recording apparatus having an ordinary recording mode and an editing mode in which an information signal is recorded additionally to information already stored in previously formed oblique tracks is provided in which a high degree of accuracy is assured for tracking servoing upon editing by forming on the tape a track area for tracking in an area at a predetermined position of every other one of the oblique tracks. After the recording apparatus forms a tracking area in a particular oblique track, the recording apparatus prevents its rotary head apparatus from forming another tracking area in an adjacent oblique track.
