The Gold Standard of Cassette Recording

TASCAM's 424-S Blank Studio Cassette Tape was designed for unparalleled audio clarity in studio and home recording scenarios. Its high-bias cobalt tape provides a louder output than standard Type II cassettes, which amounts to an impeccably clear recording experience with little to no additional noise. Although calibrated and intended for use with TASCAM's Portastudio cassette recorders, the 424-S Studio tape is a perfect option for tape-to-tape dubbing and MP3-to-tape conversion in tandem with several cassette recorder and deck models. Recording with cassettes may be uncommon in today's digital world, but when the time comes, Sweetwater studio professionals recommend using a TASCAM 424-S Studio Tape.

TASCAM 424-S High Bias Blank Studio Cassette Tape Features:

  • Type II (cobalt) high-bias blank cassette tape
  • 60 minutes of recording time (30 minutes on each side)
  • 540 Oe coercivity
  • 1700 gauss retentivity
  • For studio and home recording applications

Extremely noisy with dropouts

These are shockingly low quality tapes. Recently did some 4 tracking using one of these in a 424 mk3 and I thought something was wrong with the machine. Extreme hiss, uneven levels, uneven frequency response, click noises similar to a punch in everywhere, all on a brand new unused tape. Then I swapped the 424-s for an XLII. All these problems went away. Since then I've tried two more of these Tascam branded cassettes. One was barely maybe OKish, but quite noisy. The other exhibited all the problems described above. Obviously one expects a lofi sound when using a 4 track, but if you want it to sound like you left the tape in your pocket when you washed your pants, just buy an old used cassette. Don't buy these.

Trash

This tape is hot garbage. The plastic reels don't spin correctly in a Tascam 238. It sounds like dirt. The hiss is off the chain. Better off buying old chromes cause all of the tapes being manufactured today are horrible.
