The formulation for the tape is the same. Reel to reel tape may actually have 8 tracks on it, although it usually has 4. There are many different magnetic coating formulations for magnetic tape, so it is important to use the type designated for your machine. Some more advanced reel players can change their bias and equalization to accommodate different tape types.
