the humble forgotten cassette tape is fast becoming a dying format,.. but despite critisism, I think it still has its uses,.. most of which I will now list * - quick recording most stereo systems have tape decks, most of them with the "record function" and most people have their sound coming through their stereo (people that are anal about sound quality anyway) so,. if you were playing online/normal radio and they had a special on AFX or something,. Tape It!,.. it's a lot easier than setting up a minidisc player or getting a profram to record on you comp, * - Avaliability let face it,. we all have a tape player somewhere, whether we wanted it or not,. most cd players in cars still have a tape deck, and every living room stereo has a tape deck,. * - blackouts cheap tape players run on batteries and are readily avaliable ,.. I suggest you buy one in case of unwanted blackouts,. * - sampling ever wanted to show your friend a tune but his internet was down, he was ground from leaving his house,. and you didn't have a cd burner (extreme circumstances I know) well just play the song,.. tape it ,. and cart the cassette over to his loft, * - theft ever had an anal friend that didn't want you to take any of his music? well just pop the tape into his player and hit record,.. tell him to play the song you want to play,. and retreive it when he goes to the loo or something,. * - unbreakable cassette are like minidiscs,. you can use them as shuriekns and they'll still play,. * - disposable people have spare tapes lying around all the time,. just ask if you can have all the tapes they don't want,. and there you go,.. more tapes for use umm,.. there was more but I can't think of them now,. but basically tapes rule,.. |

I try to put everything I own to good use,. that means that they break eventually from constant usage,.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aah the good times. i remember i used to "tapemix" songs. i taped one bit from a cd and taped another one....rec-pause-rec-pause-rec-pause... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ever found an old set of tapes you had forgotten about and listened to it through,.. nostalgia lo-fi style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i have loads of tapes filled with rave classics and other cool stuff. i also found an unreleased aphex track which is now known as "random bullities". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I stumbled across and old tape of my brothers,... gabber baby |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got lots of old hardcore tapes Plus who used to make tapes when they were kids? Like recording stuff off the radio and pissing about recording yourself trying to be funny etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still make tapes, for my car's stereo (I would like a cd player in my car but I ain't got money) but.......... tapes fears the sun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why did you start another thread about tapes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love tapes. so small, they feel good, so nice. i just like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i have none now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I used to do that.. I would make my own radioshows.. and indeed, tried to be funny (and failed miserably..).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, i used to do that and make little intrro music by banging stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"I suggest you buy one in case of unwanted blackouts" i don't want to ! |
||||||||

Tapes are great. I still use them a lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
used a tape yesterday, it was raining and it blacked out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My car stereo only has a tape player so i record an album on each side of the tape everyday so i have something new in the car. Tapes are very useful for quick and easy recording which i like and the can be used tons of times. The only thing that i don't like is when a certain player eats them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had a vcr that ate my tapes, and now my camcorder's gettin hungry too.... its a consperacy i tell you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if they designed the new systems to spit out all the old formats on you, kinda like the same way windows works nowadays, boasting backward compatibilty, but only barely managing to do so.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm gonna record my pselodux stuff to tape before i mp3 it.. for that lo-fi touch.. i also have 2 tapes worth of stuff that i lost in a hd crash.. from like '99 or something.. i used to love making mixtapes also, but now i cant be fucked, i just burn mp3cds for my mp3 discman thing.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. i´ve sung the praises of the aul TDK here before. i recorded my first ever tunes to tape (as opposed to wav file) cos i couldn´t figure out how to stream to disk so i just plugged my recordable walman in. i love them tunes! i like the undigital hiss too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|
