If tapes have been exposed to magnetic fields then HF loss is a possibility and in extreme circumstances can lead to total erasure of the complete recording but I have rarely encountered this and it equally applies to pre-recorded tapes and ones that you record yourself.
I personally imported over 150 pre-recorded tapes from the USA, eBay purchases, about 15 years ago and these were all 4 track stereo - some were recorded at 3&3/4 and some 7&1/2 IPS - and I have to say that the quality of these were generally very good and usually as good if not better than the identical LP's with the 7&1/2 ones being slightly better than the lower speed ones, as you would expect. The speed of these tapes were almost always 3&3/4 IPS and the quality of playback was extremely variable, even more so 50 years later I have some good ones but most aren't. Pre-recorded tapes that were sold in GB were almost always described as twin track mono which meant that you played the tape in one direction and then turned it over to play the other side. You can not play 4 track tapes on a 2 track machine, but as you have not got a 2 track machine that is not going to be a problem for you. You can play a 2 track stereo tape on a 4 track machine but may need to adjust the balance control on your amp to compensate for the recorded tracks not being correctly aligned with the replay head, mono 2 track tapes will be no problem except that there will only be audio output from one channel of the recorder, some machines have an output selector switch which allows a mono signal to be output on both channels of the deck, unfortunately your Sony does not. Sorry I am a bit late to the party but here are my thoughts on the subject based on my experiences gained over the last 49 years of owning and using these machines I currently own 17 machines and in excess of 300 tapes. There are a few high quality reel to reel recordings but the price is £350 to £500 per recording.

On solid state recording desks (DAW) you can get various software plug-ins including a module for the revox sound Your own recordings on modern tape should sound very good.Quite a few people I know use CD or Vinyl as a master, and due to the flaws in the recording process like Bias and Equalisation can make the tape sound very analogue.(The Revox Sound). When I was into reel to reel we never rated the pre-recorded material as being very good, and quite a lot of it was for music clubs like Readers Digest etc Head alignment can be an issue, since most of the recordings were done on a bulk recording machine, and the tape was then cut up into 5 inch or 7 inch spools afterwards.

Unless go for the latest pro recording the tape speed is 3.75 ips. The OP may also find the quality of pre-recorded tapes to be somewhat lacking, given the age there could be a loss of HF, print through, and oxide shed. For the slower tape speeds Dolby was introduced, but that's another story. The wider the recording on the tape will give a better signal to noise ratio.

I think the confusion is over the tracks as used on pro-machines.īetter is to think of it as 1/4 inch tape recorded as either Full Track (Quite rare), Half Track (used by pre-recorded tapes), or Quarter Track (most popular for the home as it gives Stereo and you can turn the tape over to use again, thus halving the running costs.).
