I love tapes they made you listen to the whole album, no skipping tracks

When I was young, I recorded myself constantly, like a journal. This is one ideal outlet of many for antisocial children. Never thought about sound quality, but I don't think I could ever record to cassette again. Too much noise.

i took a tape of my guitar playing made decades ago on a cheap little battery-powered mono panasonic recorder, put it in audacity and fucked with ffilters, etc. until they came out sounding like cd tracks. so there are easy ways to eliminate tape hiss. i also remove all surface noise and scratches from old vinyl records, with audacity. i doubt that i could live without audacity. to me the biggest problem with tapes is they break or get eaten by the machine.
I have stuff made years ago on a tascam 4-track recorder that still sounds very good.

I recently converted a bunch of old stuff from 4 track cassettes to CD. It was a pain in the arse. Made me realise that I quite dislike cassettes except for the nostalgia value

i love analog tape. i love casettes. especially old cassettes. i used to always love all the colorful and different styles they used on blank cassette label design when i was a kid in the 80s. if we were in a store that had any kind of selection of different brands of tapes i would literally stand there and pick up each one and really check them out. i would just tune everything out and get lost in the world of different colors and 30's, 60's, A's, B's, I's, and II's.
