    running drums through it and then bury the tapes in the windowsill herb goarden, of course.

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

    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 couldn't tell.

    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 havent done so since the 90's when the HMV on 86th used to stock blank cassettes.

    But I keep my player in very good condition.

    If i did still make tapes it would be strictly Slow Jams.

    Once I changed the cassette player in my car for a CD player witha n MP3 input, it was all over for cassettes at my place.

    I still have a good handful of Old School Hip Hop on tape.

    I aint never givin them thangs up.

    Fusk convertin'.

  • 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 record my band's stuff to cassette tape when we're writing songs; sounds better than the "studio" recordings half the time.

    Anybody record and edit their music on computer, record it to cassette, then record it back into the computer for some good ol' tape saturation?

    ?

    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.

    My girlfriend has a tape player in the car so I use them on the regular.

    My vehicle has a tape player, so I always bump them while driving.
