I don't much, but its good to go back to old tapes and listen to old stuff with a fresh perspective. You think oh that sounds quite good I might go back and work on that or whatever. |

tape as in cassettes? Tapes sound the best! it's vinyl style not all this 0 and 1 nonsense |

I have downloaded stuff I have on tape and it sounds too cold and sterile to the way I remember it. I actually bought Only Built 4 Cuban Linx by Raekwon on CD for my car and it sounds so much worse than the cassette version I know and love. Same with a lot of my old drum and bass stuff I have, it sounds a lot warmer and enveloping than a CD ripped version. |

Yeah cassettes. Its been a while since I put shit to cassette but every now and then I do it. Just in case I loose all my files or a jet falls through the ceiling. |

Fucking quality album. |

Anyone remember Akin from Irdial Discs he was a massive advocate of analogue cassettes/vinyl etc etc? I don't know it can be shitty sometimes when you record to cassette it evens out the frequencies. Its true it does take the sharpness of shit though. |

i ALWAYS do... dude, someone ripped off my mp3 player a few months back, thanks to school i can't buy shit... now i rely on my trusty sony walkman for all my musical needs. |

I'm just listening to a track which I did really in the Drexciya vein. I ought to get the taped version to mp3. |
||||||||
|
|

|
Personally I only see that, Liquid Swords and Enter the 36 chambers as the only really good Wu albums, everything else was either average or shit. Cuban Links was a classic from start to finish though. |

It's just like taking a picture with a digital camera or analog.. maybe the analog is out of focus? maybe the digital has red eye reduction? maybe I should be in bed as I'm pissed out of my brains and I need to get up in a few hours.... but.... Tapes do add something special otherwise BOC wouldn't spend lots of their time playing around with all that |

I got this Ozrics type midi file mix and it sounds groovy. I converted it to an electro type vibe, its sounds totally analogue on tape. |
||||||||
|
|

|
36 chambers is still amazing! |

ecnadniarb, What about Ol' Dirty Bastard, his first record? Man that shit is wicked! Thinking of it I just love to get that shit playing now. I got that on tape. 'Shame on you when you step to the ol' dirty bastard! BROOKLYN ZOO!' |
||||||||
|
|

Still got to check out Liquid Swords... I'm no huge fan of rap, I kinda have 'no room to talk' because I have barely grazed the surface of the genre, but Cuban Linx is still an undeniable classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep...the production was so raw on it, all the little mistakes and roughness is what made it though, and I think when Rza got hold of better equipment he lost some of the charm from his work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's one of my favourite albums! It's funny, it's raw, it's dope and everything. |

There was a time I recall when the Wu Tang were just cool period. Everyone was into them they were just the coolist and freshest rappers. Don't know what the view is now. I remember each new solo project had a lot of buzz about it. |

There was some stuff on ODB's album I really liked. Other parts I thought were a bit weak and stopped it being a classic. I still think Damage with Gza is one of the Wu's shining moments...Rza's music is perfect for their voices and style of rap in that track. |

did you hear the 'gravediggaz' album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
remember those pieces of garbage? LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I have got two of them (I think there was talk of a third I don't know if it was ever released though). 6 Feet Deep and The Pick, The Sickle and The Shovel. I prefered 6 Feet Deep, Prince Paul is a quality producer as well. Did you ever check out the Prince Among Theives album? |
||||||||
|
|

I got Gravediggaz too. |

DeLtoiD, In the future they'll be all the rage. Walkmans will come back into fashion. Its like anything you bet old tapes and shit they're have like premium on them or whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah :D They will get a cult following though. I can see that. |

I still tape to cassette, I enjoy the warmth! Also gotta have some music for the car aswell. |

Tape the pads, rip the hats. heh, sounds like something a heavy metal guy would say. "Dude, lay down the Pads" |

i listen to tape when i am feeling dreamy...just wanna trip out and no dance |
||||||||

yer im recording my stuff on type 2 tapes at the moment .. surprising depth! |
||||||||
|

i've got some pump-organ and slide-guitar recorded to a tape. recorded it last summer, I think. we only had a mixer with tape-recording, so we used that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best is changing the speed of tapes :) me mixer has a wee knob for that purpose - curly style! |
||||||||

I've broken all my tape decks so I can't. Otherwise I would be with the tape still. There's a ncie warm sound to tape at times. But you've got to record it properly. Do it too loud and you get ghost tracks next time you record over it. Too quiet and you get too much fuzz. Man, tapes were great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i record to tape |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

All wu-tang after 1995 is shit. The stuff before that is GOLD DUST |
||||||||
|

i only record on tape, never save my songs on my gear cause i'm only playing i also love to put on some old tapes and listen to the shit i made in the past, it's indeed refreshing sometimes, and it can give me the feelling that i made some progress |
||||||||
|

its not slime.....*hint* |

I make mix tapes all the damn time!! i love makin a good mix tape. |

I always use to tape to record works in progress then I listen to it in bed and see what needs worked on. Tapes rule. I've got loads of 4-track tapes of me with crappy equipment like spoons and half full wine glasses making some mad freeform jazz. I used to smoke a lot of hash. |
||||||||
|

|
|
i have loads of tapes with my guitar ideas on it, that just go to waste because the tape does, otherwise i could have listened to it someday for fun. still good i play guitar and not violin. i once watched a episode miami vice with the music by foreigner, i wanna know what love is, if im correct, that was so terribly out of tune it wasnt funny anymore |
