WHAT TYPE OF CASSETTE SHOULD I CHOOSE?
TDS offers three grades of audio cassettes (#3, #2 and #0).

 

FOR HIGH SPEED COPIES   #3

Many of our customers think that our Voice Copy #3 tape is the best copy tape they have ever tried.  It is loaded in a premium 5-screw white shell.  This tape is the perfect choice for high-speed duplication of sermons, seminars, or non-critical music. Normal bias.

FOR RECORDING THE SERMON OR SEMINAR   #2

Our Music & Voice Master #2 tapes are loaded with the top-of-the line BASF stock.  Did you know that BASF (a German company) invented audio tape?   This tape is perfect for making your real-time masters of speech or making music copies.  The #2 is loaded into our master clear shell.  Normal Bias.

FOR CRITICAL MUSIC RECORDING   #0

Our top-of-the-line High Bias #0 Chrome tape is the only choice when recording critical music or creating masters.  It is loaded in a Clear Chrome-notch shell.  The Chrome tape is no longer manufactured due to the declining market and demand for audio cassettes.  We still have quite a few in stock.  Please call to check our inventory.

WHAT LENGTH DO I CHOOSE?

High-speed tape duplicators vary in speed from one position to another.  Therefore, it's possible for one slave position to finish copying a few seconds before another.  If the copy tape finishes before the master tape, you risk losing the last bit of information on Side A and the first few bits of information on Side B (when both sides are duplicated at the same time).

To avoid this from happening, industry standards call for the copy tape to be 2-4 minutes longer than your master.  Example: Use a 62-minute Master grade #2 to record your sermon with, and a 64-minute copy #4 for all of your voice copies.
