Whats the difference between a 2" master and a 1/4" master

[PCTraitor]

My belief is that 1/4" analog tape will only have 4 separate tracks; no more.
2" tape... I don't know.

You may be right. I know that 2 inch tape could support 24.

Well if that's true, the tape might be OK for RBN so long as the Drums, Guitar, Bass, Vocals are each on their own track.

To answer the topic question: 1 and 3/4 inches

[JasonBooth]

2 inch tape usually holds 24 tracks of audio, and 1/4 inch tape is generally used for a stereo mix (2 tracks). So you'd really want to get access to the 2 inch version and mix down stems.
