I understand saturation...but was would 'smear' be?
(and thank you!)

lot's of views, but no opinions or experiences to share?.....Will I be sad that I said "OK" to the higher bias tape?

My machine is set for RMG 911....the retail place is out of it. They are offering RMG900-----which is listed as 'high output' I think the RMG911 is more like 456Ampex..as opposedto 'high output' So, if I don't do *any*thing to my machine, and use the high-output 900...what sort of difference should ...

thanks to the awesome tapeop crowd for info and such. I'm trying one each of the RMG911 and the ATR....so's I can see w hat works for me. And I'm trying it from tapes.com ---so wish me luck.

thank you Drumsound....and , embarassed by my ignorance...but would that make it like or unlike 456...and ...if my machine is adjusted for 456...would it ....be ok to use?....how would it be different ...if it would be...

I believe the equivalent to 456 in RMG's world is 911,

What is the equivalent to 456 in ATR?

thanks for the help!

and (sad face)...my email to quategy.com bounced.

I ask this every year or so....as my supply runs out...
I used to use Ampex/Quantegy456 1/2"...and then resorted to RMG911.......where can I get the equivalents? best deal? most reliable?........thank you!

I'm completely ignorant of digital recording. I'm just starting the business of sifting through websites, talking to knowledgeable friends, visiting music stores, etc. to learn about it. I've been recording onto a Tascam 80-8 1/2" tape machine for about 10 years with fairly good success. I've got a ...

Isn't that odd though?
Every other type of "tape recorder" that I've ever had has an input level control.
Anyone else think this is odd?
Am I still missing something?

I have read the manual. I've been over it and over it. You know, most recorders have somewhere where you set the level as the music comes in----I can't find such a thing here. I read where you can change the level of an existing and saved track....but not where you can set the level as stuff comes i...

Thanks.
I'm going to try that spice-it company.

I know this question's been asked before, but I also know, things have been changing back and forth like the wind. What's the best source these days for a substitute for Ampex/Quantegy 456-----I'm looking specifically for 1/2". MANY THANKS for any info. (and thanks for your patience....like I said, ...

Hello ! I have a situation similar to yours, I have an 80-8 (still doing the 1/2" tape) and I mix it to a stand-alone cdr deck. (this mixdown I can send to be mastered or whatever). My recent problem is that stand-alone CD-burning decks are becoming less popular and there are fewer choices in the ne...

There actually aren't too many being made right now it seems. Strange, because for what I use it for, it seems there would be plenty o' others who would buy/use it for the same stuff----quick, cheap and easily distributed rehearsal tapes when your band is practicing and wants to remember the arrange...
