Recording to cassette tape
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have a local DJ that plays a few of my songs at a club every weekend (I really should get out of the house and do some shows) but that’s besides the point. Anyway this local DJ has requested that I record my next few tracks to him on cassette. I have an old Tascam 424mkiii... I’ve never really used. Anyway I opened it up, all the belts are good, none of the pots or knobs crackle do to oxidization.</p> <p>Tomorrow I’m going go out and get some solution to clean the heads. I’m not used to using cassettes as a medium to record. But due to the nature of the cassette, it does hiss when I playback a cassette I had laying around. I know this is normal. I can turn on dbx (which totally eliminates the hiss) but the sounds aren’t as crisp.</p> <p>Hopefully cleaning the heads will reduce a little of the hissing (but I have a feeling this hiss is normal)? Also I’m curious why this DJ wants a cassette... are they coming back? I kinda live in a little bubble... lol</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/momodig"> /u/momodig </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/cwpo4n/recording_to_cassette_tape/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/cwpo4n/recording_to_cassette_tape/">[comments]</a></span>
