I've got a TASCAM Porta5 4-track.

I'm looking for three things.

1) Advice on how to use it to my best advantage -- that is, tricks from anyone
   who is familiar with the device.

2) Advice on whether I should trade it in and buy a different unit which is
   much better.

but MOST IMPORTANTLY:

3) What cassette tape is the *best* for least dropouts and least problems
   with this unit? It employs DBX and it runs at variable tape-normal speed.
