Interesting and humorous posts. I mentioned to Danny a while back that we probably ought to support anyone who is crazy enough to try to get tape out these days. Perhaps that makes me one of the ATR stooges - if so, I want to be Shemp, though my hair is more like Larry's these days...What I can offer to the database is that my bro Paul has tried the ATR Magnetics tape and recently the RMGI 468 as well. He says they are both great.
ATR Magnetics won't be slitting 1/4" for a while yet. They will first make tape for markets with a reasonable volume demand - 2" and 1/2". That should give you guys some time to fume about ATR Magnetics 1/4" for a while yet, and since the RMGI tape is available now it ought to work out for everyone.
Follow Ups:
ATR still has all of the classic threads of being a hoax: The few times someone has claimed to have seen the tape, it's always been through "a friend" or a "friend of a friend". But that much more credible first-hand experience remains elusive.
I have a sample of the tape in my hand as I type this (one handed typing.)
It will probably only be marketed to the filthy rich and famous first. Just like the WE tubes. Ray

ATR will not be making any tapes someone is taking the piss here!
No manufacturing company takes 3 years to sort out teething problems it is a lie a scandal a hoax. For what perpose I wonder only thing I can think of is that someone gets a kick out of it thinking our lives depend on a new manufacturer! GET REAL ATR are never going to be.
I guess they were right,.. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! I forgot that I mentioned ATR Magnetics a while ago and got a negative reaction then as well. I've only been waiting for about a year and I don't do that much recording with tape, at least not yet!
otherwise I'm with you 110% Doc.
