Review on Imation SA 90L2 High Audio Cassette by Jay Chenier

That's 7.29 for 2 including shipping so about 3.65 per band. hard home build analog 4 track tape recorders have to pay exorbitant prices for OLD sold out 90's Hi-Bias cassettes as the only brand name cassettes you can buy in a store like Walgreens are 5 packs cheaper Maxell with normal bias (even they are increasingly popular). hard to find). This is the case with Revain and eBay - all I can find is overpriced stock, still sealed high-bias cartridges that average five dollars each plus shipping (again, they're a little cheaper). Neither TDK nor Maxell make Hi-Bias anymore so we only have old holdovers and these vendors are taking advantage of that fact. I'm not sure if cassette tapes degrade over time (please comment if anyone knows), but I still can't remember paying those prices when they were new! anyone making new hi-bias cartridges. If anyone knows this, please comment!. although I unfortunately doubt it. Anyway, it's very discouraging. The homemade cassette was the result of love and sound that you can't get digitally. Still a die-hard analog home-build recorder, I use an 8-channel analog Tascam 4-track, one of the finest 4-track models made with Shure studio mics, and I'm often more likely to master to a CD Recorder than on a PC (depending on what I'm working on). The tracks only become mp3 when I copy the master disc to my computer. This makes it increasingly difficult to do so. Now I mainly use my 4track for solo recordings, but I've also used it to record full band demos (including drums) and have been able to produce near-pro quality recordings! Sublime's "Robbin' in the Hood" was recorded entirely on analog 4-track disc like the others. Doubtful, but are any of the sellers reading this? Your 10-15 year old hi-bias tapes aren't gold, assholes. Finally, on a more positive note, this is probably the best price I've found so far.
