I bought a new roll of the Recording The Masters tape to use for a recording and noticed it's leaving a lot of residue on the heads and pinch roller wheel. These pictures are from the second time I cleaned it today, and only after about an hour of use. The first time was even dirtier, but I figured it was because it was used for 3 hours and it was brand new.
This isn't normal is it? Does anyone here have any experience with this stuff? I haven't used this tape since it was rebranded as RTM, but it's the same stuff that's been around, only under new ownership. It shouldn't be this dirty after I just cleaned everything this afternoon. Definitely not supposed to be this dirty after only one hour.
On another note, it sounds fine but I wonder if I'll have to clean the heads every hour to avoid losing signal on a track?
