The ideal storage method would be to keep the tapes "tails out" if they are unidirectional recordings such as 2 track stereo or 4 track quad (or multitrack masters for that matter). Play the tape onto a take up reel, and store the reel played. When you want to listen to the reel, you rewind it onto a supply reel and when done listening, you will have a evenly wound tape again on a take up reel. Then just store the reel as such.
Reel tapes recommendations
Anyone know of a good source for good quality reel tapes?
I have already subscribed to the Tape project catalogue but would like to expand the library.
Any specific tapes that is worthwhile getting?
I am only interested classical and jazz.
