I have a lot of used metal tapes that I would like to sell but the market doesn't look that good for them. I'm almost 70 and will never go back to pre CD technology.
I sold my lot (over 500) on Facebook marketplace. There is actually tape collecting forums. I did better than expectedI have a lot of used metal tapes that I would like to sell but the market doesn't look that good for them. I'm almost 70 and will never go back to pre CD technology.
Thanks for this but I have nothing to do with social media.I sold my lot (over 500) on Facebook marketplace. There is actually tape collecting forums. I did better than expected
My still in the shrink wrap pair of TDK MA-XG 90s at current ebay prices would probably pay for a short holiday. Which is nuts, they're only a pair of cassettes at the end of the day.Love cassettes... They are selling for crazy dollars on ebay
Wow, that's amazing. Definitely worth pursuing in multi-track configuration.I recently recorded a track live onto analog cassette. Which means I couldn't remix any of it afterwards: it went from the mixer directly to the tape, in stereo. So any levels etc were stuck as-is. Which sorta sucks as it would have been interesting to mix into 4 channel Involve format.
I may redo another session multitracked. But since it was all patched cables & modular synth it won't be the same. And the tape got eaten by another deck right after I dumped it to the computer

Fwiw here it is, a slice in time, never to be repeated: I called it "Lawn Sprinklers on Venus"
Haha, wow, thanks!Wow, that's amazing. Definitely worth pursuing in multi-track configuration.
Relatedly, I'm going through hundreds of my old band recordings - mostly on cassette, some reels. All 2 mics into the recorder and fingers crossed. I graded them on performance, mix fidelity, energy to find the best takes for a compilation. It's amazing the variance in what is supposed to be the same setup every time. I can tell on the later ones that a sub-mixer and more mics were added on the drums but still live to 2 track always.
Please keep going with this. Cheers
You can thank Philips, and their insistence that all cassette recordings be compatible with all cassette players. The only way you could have recorded in Involve quad would to have had the encoder feeding the recorder; the encoder fed from the output of a multichannel mixing board. Philips blew it on that one; the cassette could have done so much more.
