I personally use a few different formats (Vinyl, digital, Cassette). There are different things I like about each format. There are also things that annoy me about each format. Audio is subjective. What I prefer may not be another persons choice. I just find it sad when someone makes a blanket statement such as "Digital can do everything better". Really? By what I have just stated I must infer that they mean "Digital can do everything better.. for them" since they do not speak for me. Forums are about opinions and people love to be right. Consider this: maybe it is okay for another person to like something for their own particular reasoning. It's okay to like stuff. As I get older I am learning to respect the choices of other people and I may even listen to them for a while until they attempt to force feed their views to me. BTW, welcome to Tapeheads Noel.

I still use tapes all the time. Although I've gone digital with some things; it lacks the warmth and depth that a quality tape can provide. Ive found myself using digital formats when I want to make a master recoding because of the low noise level and the extended frequency range. Some recordings I will make a copy on a tape for listening. The tape makes the recording sound more alive and real to me. It adds a little something extra to my listen expearence. Plus, I love watching the wheels go round and round. I really love to watch them roll. (John Lennon).
@OneRoomShed7 жыл бұрын
Çerastes I do a lot of recordings in above 44khz at 32 bit so I'm aware of how digital audio can sound. You must have missed the part where I said I go digital because of the lower shelf noise and higher frequency response.That's why I stated that I make my master recordings using digital formats. I use tape strictly for fun afterwards . I'm sorry but you compared a MP3 to tape as sounding warm because of the lower high freq response and I've never heard anyone say that before. Lmao!! MP3s sound hollow and lack depth because of the low bit rates. I'm gonna respect your option but it's sounds like you don't really have any experience using quality digital or analog equipment. Maybe you just don't understand what I'm talking about because you've never heard a quality tape recording before. If you had than you would know what I'm taking about. Plus when I say tape I'm referring to open reel tape and not cassettes. Sorry I was not specific with that part.

Exactly. It reminds me of vinyl. Like cassette, it takes some knowledge and some effort to get as much out of the format as possible. Somebody playing a record off of a Crosley with a ceramic pickup won't get as much out of it in terms of sound quality compared to playing it off of a Thorens with a decent and properly configured magnetic cartridge.

This video would have you believe cassettes are on the verge of making a huge comeback, and as much as I love the format, they're not coming back big anytime soon. Most manufacturers stopped making them, you can't find them in stores, Sony stopped making the cassette Walkman, you can hardly find new cassette decks / players in any retail outlet, and all the major record labels issue new music mostly on CD and digital download, with the occasional vinyl LP release. Cassettes may have this cool analog sound that some people dig, but much like 8-track tapes, phonograph records and Edison wax cylinders, it's an outdated piece of technology, and just a novelty for a niche group of people.

As much as we'd want it, cassettes will never come back. Compared to records, tapes are ages into the future. It's not very complicated to press new records, or even build tools from scratch since the technology is so archaic. Now imagine the technology for tape, starting from chemical compounds. Even if production is restarted, the machines are old and new replacement parts are non existent, the recording equipment, the heads, motors drives and all that stuff is not and will not be made anymore since it would be too expensive to make it worth. Also the players that we use are not getting younger, yes the belts are still made but there are many other things that wear out. With records it is much cheaper and simpler. It's just too bad. I love tapes.

I am really happy that they made a comeback but where can you buy a nice good quality player/recorder? I have over 10 tape decks and some Walkmans but since tapes are manufactured again, why don't they start making some good quality gear again? Simple answer is because big brands couldn't give a crap about it and they know that there isn't a big market for good but expensive gear, so we are stuck with just maintaining old gear and hoping that they will last yet another year!
@doomermusic78105 жыл бұрын
This deck is being made new in 2018: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8ugZM59yce5gnU.html Quality looks pretty alright. Could be better but the only way that's happening is if the subculture grows significantly. There is still a saturation of old machines that cost a small fortune when they were new, so the quality will naturally be higher. Why buy a new machine for $700 (theoretically for new high quality deck?) when they can just get an old one in perfect condition for $2-300? If people were willing to pay remotely close to the inflation-adjusted price for a new deck they could certainly make new ones to quality standards, better even with modern manufacturing and tech, but everything is based on demand. The best chance we have of seeing really great machines returning is spreading the love of cassettes to more new people.

I am now officially old. I know this because people are getting all nostalgic about something that was surpassed by something better when i was in my teens. I now know how people in their 60's feel when i tell them i like using a typewriter. They look at me like i am crazy because a computer is obviously beeter for writing. Electronic formats are so much easier to produce and distribute. Tapes seem to be about the object and collecting rare releases, which is great. I just dont want to see the 'tape sounds better than xyz format' i remember tapes getting wrapped wp in players or twisting and delaminating. They were a pain in the ass and tape hiss made it sound crap unless you bought expensive noise reduction decks. My question is how many good tape players have been sold? I remember seeing a stat that vinyl sales were massive but the actual record player sales were pretty low, implying that people liked to buy the records but not necessarily listen to them. Buy the vinyl make you collection look nice and the use the download code to get it and listen to it on your phone!

You don't really need Dolby System to sound good on Compact Cassette (and, if you don't know how to record with it correctly, then the playback with it won't sound good because the Dolby circuit wouldn't be able to track it properly). But the use of good quality tape is a must along with the use of good quality equipment and recordings done by people who know what they're doing with the format. Although metal tape is great, using chromium dioxide tape is probably the most ideal way to go as it's a good compromise between performance and economy. That said, you're better off with a high quality normal bias tape than a crummy quality CrO2 tape. That said, online distribution is the most economic way for an independent to get itself out to listeners as the cost of distribution is going to be the lowest because you don't have to concern yourself with an inventory of physical copies. That said, it should be easy to fulfill special orders on Compact Cassette as well as Compact Disc (burning your copies on CD-R as opposed to hiring a manufacturer to do a replication run, of course) whereas it will certainly be an investment if you want to distribute your music on vinyl.

Well, obviously when we're talking about a record company, they did have to pay Dolby for the use of their system and their logos. But what does that have to do with just using Dolby for personal use? And, if you're an independent who's recording cassettes as a band rather than as a record company and especially if you're only recording a very small run of copies for fans with your own equipment rather than placing an order with a duplication company, I don't think Dolby would care if you use their NR with your stuff as that's small potatoes.

"As many people are buying cassettes now as they were in 1987" - why not checking RIAA database? Go to public.tableau.com/shared/JK2B9NDPJ?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link&:embed=y and select cassettes and cassette singles, you will get 415 million pre-recorded cassettes sold in the U.S. in 1987. The last year on the chart is 2008 with about 100K units sold. Even if 2018 number is twice more, well you get 200K - nothing compared to 1987 numbers. All the talk that cassettes are so easy for DIY are misleading - yes, they can be done in small batches or even at home, but CDs can too, and for digital downloads all you need to do is upload it to a site like BandCamp: no producing anything, unless you want extra merch like posters or T-shirts.
