Tapes for Tascam DA78

anonymous 5 March 2005

Is is better to use Hi-8ME rather than Hi-8MP? Also I've got some at home except they say on them 'video'. Does that mean I need to get ones dedicated for audio or could I use the ones I have?

Cheers!

Check the manual and go with Tascam's suggestions... One might be more abrasive than the other, leading to shorter head life.

They pretty much all say "video" on them - Hi8 is a video standard (just like ADAT is an SVHS video tape).

Tascam just says Hi-8MP/ME. I want to make sure cos these things

Get the Fuji Metal Particle tapes (DPD-xxMP). They are the recommended tapes for 24 bit work. Never had a problem with them... Other DTRS tapes may be ok for 16 bit operation, but I'd only trust the Fuji's for 24 bit.
