I do it on the regular. Still have a Cassette-Walkman and a Boombox for outdoor listening. I also like the pressure you have when recording a mix on tape. No errors allowed or you have to start the whole side from scratch. Once in a while I feel like making a spontaneous mix without preselection on tape and mostly these mixes result better then those on disk.
i recently tried to record a mix onto tape, only to find my recorder chewing the tape up when i finished recording, luckily i recorded it on my PC too.
I used to use a cassette 4 track for guitar ideas all the time. Mine broke. Now that my Digital setup is down. I've been trolling Craigslist and the pawn shops for a new one. I love recording to casette tape.
I meant just in general. Either if you mix down a track to cassette or you record your favorite songs to cassette. A friend of mine actually puts songs on cassette just so he can sell the vinyl to get money.
i do. i just made a mix on sunday. my neighbor came over and said i was probably the only person in n. america making a mixtape that day.
i laughed but considered it a possibility.
my cd player got stolen twice so i said F*ck it and put the factory tape player back in. i highly doubt that is going to get stolen. so i make tape mixes for my car and bathroom stereo. can't take a shower without musica.
sidenote: i have a cd burner so i can make cd mixes too.
I record music onto cassette tape almost every day. I use tapes as demo "scratch pads" for beats I'm working on. I have Pro-Tools and all, but I prefer the simplicity of just pressing record without loading the software up and synching a bunch of midi.
yeah! when i bought a car in November with a cassette deck only, i said the hell with paying for another CD player. Everyone i've had seemed to mess up my CDs anyway. I made several mix tapes after years of retirement and it was a lot of fun. Stirred up some old memories...............then my sister bought me an ipod and tape deck converter.
I just digitized a 60 min. tape I recorded some time ago. Some Golden Age and some around 2000 rap.
Still like to listen to tapes in the kitchen or cassette walkman. I think I will start digitizing all my old tapes. Especially those from the early nineties. Listening to them is like opening a time capsule.

Well..for a buddy that does not have a cd player.Older cat

my girlfriend had never heard the Misfits, so I rounded up a cassette a couple weeks ago. Sounds like shit, even for the Misfits.
