I’ve started to recording some new mix tapes again and bought myself a new deck just for fun.
I'm digitizing this recording to CD also for my mom.
These recordings of the Jerry Garcia Band are kind of lore in the cassette world. Imagine a concert where the first rows are just filled with people and their recording gear. Which they called the taper section.
What I like about cassette recordings are they aren't perfect. I was having this conversation just yesterday with nostr:nprofile1qqsv025hmnjh5mml40stydgh9lhwse83z2mxlqpf7xmfk3mvp5fvsyqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0mcktn9. Each recording has an imprint of the person doing the recording. Tape hiss or no, EQ going in, how hot of a level etc...
It's more like handwriting whereas digital is like a printer.
Also, this tape is over 40 years old and sounds amazing.
Anyway, maybe I should do a short article on this for the next issue as to justify putting the music on there 😀
