I really miss these

[Fade]

Way better than the CD, I don't care what anyone says.

i still have a few lingering around. one side of my double cassette is broken though. damn. i might have wanted to dub a tape.

 

[SoberMindedMuzk]

Ahhh yes.

Tapes have a certain sound to them that's for sure, but I'm not sure I'd want to go back to them. As an archivist, tape is really especially vulnerable. Still, lots of good memories (and bad ones!) of tapes.

these were my studio faves! i always looked for these for some reason.. although i had the Sony's as well.. lol

 

[slik da relic]

this was the one i had for the street!!! the 120 was king!! 2hrs of non stop Hip Hop!!! u couldnt beat those! lol

Man, I used a lot of TDK's too. And those 2 hour Sony's were dope as well. But actually, it was the Denon tapes I liked the most, those just seemed smoother. I bought a whole box once and felt like a bad ass LOL.

TDK and Sony were dope, towards the end I used mostly these:

Cheap and most available at stores.

I used to always laugh when I would see Memorex tapes near the pharmacy counter. I just thought they always seemed cheap.

It's interesting, because a lot of artists now release tapes in addition to digital/vinyl releases. Although limited in number, it's kind of cool that they do it. Nostalgia is powerful!

That's true, I just hope they don't start releasing them on 8-track. LOL.

Dude, I used whatever I could get at the dollar store, then when I had the money i rocked TDK or Sony. I LIVED on my 4 track laying down beats and recording my bands. Oh and of course I would dub tapes all the time!

SA's were my shit.
I stuck with 90's, because the 120's didnt take the heat in the car stereo so well.
I might be tripping but im sure there were 100's.

I remember the BASF tapes looked like they were from the future.

Just to update this old thread, here's some other cassettes to bring back some memories:

I loved Denon, don't know why:
