ampex 456

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

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?
