I've tried both and really haven't heard a ton of difference, except hiss and maybe stereo image quality.

There's a show coming up and I can't decide what to run at:

7 1/2 ips with Dolby SR - allows me to completely catch both sets (10 songs each on 2 reels)

15 ips (with or without SR) with a reel change mid set and potential loss of material. (I suck at changing reels) Although there is a cassette running backup.

Is there any good reason I'm missing to run live at 15 ips?
