Tape Wolf
I will attempt to clean tonight.
I have only attempted to record on the first three tracks, so I may have jumped the gun a little.
I am using 3M Scotch 226 Tape. I am really sorry about the spamming, I've literally never used or posted on any forum in my life! Had no idea I was double posting and resurrecting so much! My posts weren't showing and I didn't know what to do! I'm 22 and super tech savvy, but I guess i'm not forum savvy! Sorry about that. Thank you so much for all of your help, just want to start recording is all!
Okay, cool.
Someone else might have to chip in here, but I understand 226 is prone to shedding - if it's covering the heads with muck as it goes through the machine you're not going to have much luck with it.
It would probably be worth getting a brand new reel of RMG SM911 (make sure it's half an inch wide) - that's the most suitable tape for this machine that's currently being made.
