Anyone have a reccomendation for blank tapes to use with the 424? I'm assuming there has to be something higher quality than my best buy tapes I used to to use with my old porta01. Also, I'm looking to buy a standalone cd recorder to make the masters, and was wondering what some of you might reccomend. I'm looking at consumer models right now (I found a cheap $!99 KLH at best buy). Honestly, I'm not after anything too high tech...I just like to make recordings of my songs for friends to pass around. Thanks.
