Use good high-bias (chrome / CR02) tape. Like Maxell UDXL II if you can still get them. Try these guys: http://thetapecompany.com/

Clean the heads on your deck.

Make sure you are recording at a good level and that your bias setting is right for the tapes you're using.

Use Dolby if you have it.

Are you talking about making a "pause tape" or recording a dj mix on to cassette tape?
(i guess because this is djforums you mean a dj mix)

Also, make sure the record levels are set correctly on your tape deck.
(too low is not good and too high is not good)
