Hi, new to this forum...
I recently purchased a Tascam 244 4-track and was wondering whether I'd be able to use Type 1 blank cassettes to record with (most likely C-60 tapes). People usually recommend Type 2 High Bias cassettes but these are quite expensive and can only be ordered online. I certainly don't want to damage my machine as it's in quite good condition (especially since most 244's are worn out/damaged 90% of the time). On the other hand I don't want to spend a small fortune every time I want to record 10-15 songs. Also I don't mind the 'lo-fi' sound at all which is what's appealing to me about the Type 1 tapes.
Has anyone had any experience with the 244? What advice would you give in regards to what tapes to use, maintenance, workflow, etc.
Thanks
