Tascam 424-S C-60 Cassette Tape- 60 Minute Recording Time, High Bias Type II

I picked up this Tascam Type II cassette to compare against some modern Type I tapes I had been using, and the difference was immediately noticeable. I am recording from a computer through an audio interface into a Sony TC WR635S deck, and this tape handled dynamic material beautifully. On Type I, quiet sections of songs would sometimes hover close to the noise floor, which made intros and softer passages feel thin or slightly unstable. With the Tascam Type II, those same sections sound clean, stable, and present. The headroom is noticeably better, and the overall playback feels very close to the original source. High frequencies remain clear without sounding harsh, and low end stays controlled without getting muddy. Vocals, especially in softer openings, sound natural and solid instead of grainy. After calibration, this tape delivered what feels like a one to one transfer of my recordings. If you are recording modern, dynamic material and want a reliable, high quality Type II option, this Tascam tape performs exactly as it should. Highly recommended.

Only new type 2 tape available If you don’t want tapes that are made 20 plus years. Adjust you bias they play ok.

The compilation I recorded on this tape came out perfectly, and my parents and I enjoyed it very much.

There are some negative reviews about these cassettes, and while I respect those opinions, I have not had that kind of experience. I bought a couple of these and compared against some other, similar spec’d cassettes, using a Tascam Porta07 and a Yamaha MT4x. To my ears, they sound very good, no problems with hiss or other extraneous noises. Good quality.
