- "UR" Going to be very happy to use this for voice recording
As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" as well as an avid music collector, and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write about and or discuss various recording tapes.

Maxell's stellar reputation for cassettes and VHS tapes has been a staple of the industry for decades.

The Maxell UR is not meant for music. You can record your favorite songs but the optimum way to hear the playback is on a cassette that is referred to as Chrome or Position 2. The UR is a normal bias (Position 1). These are used to record voice. It may be advantageous for interviewing somebody, for notes to be transcribed, recording a sporting event and or a talk show from the radio.

For music recordings use Maxell's excellent XL2 or XL2S. They offer tremendous quality and longevity.

Please make sure the tape deck has clean heads or the great recording tape will not make a difference and you will get results that sound muddy.

Please stick with 60, 90, or 100-minute blank tapes. Anything higher the tape is thin and more susceptible to breakage.

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

- A Good General Tape.
Well, I wouldn't record "EXODUS'S" 'Tempo of the Damned' on the Maxell UR. But UR is a good choice for recording music that is not so over the top. For the reasonable price of UR, it is really versatile. As well as not too intense music, it is a good tape for recording from the radio, as well as general voice recordings. A previous reviewer was quite right by pointing out that for high intensity recordings, you are better off with Maxell XL II.

- Maxell UR-90 cassette
The Maxell UR-90 is a normal bias cassette (a popular comparable model would be the TDK D-90). Given the limited dynamic range and frequency range of these cassettes, they are not a good choice for hi-fi recording. For high-quality recordings, go with the Maxell XL-II or TDK SA series cassettes, or, if even greater performance is required, step up to the XL-IIS or SA-X. The Maxell UR-90 is well-suited to "workhorse" applications such as recordings made for use in a standard car deck, walkman, or cheap home stereo deck. Not only do these devices have limited capabilities in terms of both dynamic range and frequency range, but they are also much more prone to "eating" tapes, which is a risk that is best undertaken by a duplicate copy recorded on an affordable UR cassette. I had several treasured master recordings ruined by my car deck before I learned that using the high-bias tapes were simply not worth it for such applications. The UR-90 is perfect for everyday duties, and is also good for voice transcriptions since the speaking voice resides squarely in the midrange of the audible frequency spectrum and will not benefit substantially from the use of high-bias cassettes. I am a college student and the UR-90 is great for recording professor's lectures (especially since I cannot afford a micro-cassette recorder). The 90-minute length is also beneficial, since longer cassettes put more strain on tape motors and also break more easily due to the fact that they have thinner ribbon on the reel to yield the extra length. Thus, in conclusion, I'd give the Maxell UR-90 five stars for value, and an overall rating of 3 stars, since it is not suited to high-quality recording but performs its intended purpose well.

- Great Tapes
I use these tapes for all my recording. They are great all around tapes. The sound quality is very good, and they are not too expensive!
