2 inch tape questions
I attend a recording school, and recieved a reel of 2 inch to record a project on. Judging by the amount of labels on the box, I could tell that I was the fourth person to use this reel. God only knows how many times it has been recorded on. When I was mixing down my project I noticed a distinct hiss in the background.

Ampex: 456 vs. . 499 vs. . GP9
What are the sonic differences between these, and other, tape types?
I'm using a 1/2", 8-track, 15 ips format for mostly rock stuff.
(my apologies for posting this in 2 places, but I'm looking for as much feedback as possible)
thanks
McAllister

Basf 900/911, Quantegy 456/499/GP9
Hi,
I've just bought a 24 2", and need some suggestions on tapes. Unfortunately I don't have the possibilities to test all different brands, and the only one I've worked with was 456 on a Otari MX80.
I work mostly on rock tunes.
Any suggestion. .bias? calibrated to?
