hello,
i have been recently recording and get the occasional dropout on track 1 of my Tascam TSR-8. i changed to a newer tape (I use Quantegy 456), which seemed better, but then i still here the odd dropout. When i playback the tape the dropout is always in the same place so i guess the playback head must be fine. The tape has been recorded over approximately 3 times and i've had it about 1 year.
is it common for the outside tracks to wear more quickly, or does it sound like a problem with the record head?
thanks, Ian
