I have still an assload of master tapes form my old 4-track machines. Fun to listen to sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: very cool

That's what is in my shoe box. All the 4 track and even some 8 track stuff (from my now dead Yamaha MT8X) from way back when. They are fun to listen too every once and a while.

I even have the original Ampex 456 1/2 (16 track) reel from my first ever EP. We were so broke back then that we ran it at 15 IPS to save tape. I had it re-mastered off to DAT a few years later. Man it sounds like crap. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Man people put up strange web pages.

Reminds me that I have 250 cassettes in a box in my closet that I haven't played in at least 10 years yet I can't part with them. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: very cool

I used to have those TEAC tapes that looked like a small reel to reel. Not the best quality...but looked cool.

Re: very cool

Re: very cool

I currently use these ones for making mix tapes (who DOES that still in this day and age? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) for the tape deck of my car:



The quality is surprisingly good, and I've been doing it for years still. It sounds like an MP3 encoded at 192kbps... because that's what the songs were originally, before I transfered them to tape.

I have a 6-CD changer in the trunk of my car, but I prefer the tape deck because it doesn't skip. Plus, I can swap tapes while driving... the same cannot be said for the CD changer if a particular CD I want to listen to is NOT loaded into the changer. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
