mix tape pookie

Anybody up for another round?

Count me in.

So are we dong this or not?

Yes we are. How do people feel about allowing CDs? I really like the idea of tapes only as it always was but if somebody is really unable to get access to a tape recorder then should they be excluded?

I've been without a tape player for a while but recently picked one up in a charity shop for under £10. Just putting the idea out there folks.

I'm not thinking of any dates at the moment. I thought we'd wait and see how many people show an interest.

I would prefer to receive a tape. I intensely dislike CDs. And I will do a tape not a CD but maybe we could just make sure that only people who are receptive to getting CDs get them.

So, yeah, as far as I'm concerned, no CDs. LOL!

Pookie--you need to step up to the plate and get this thing going! How do we do this, anyway? I'm trying to remember how it worked.

Dammit!

I would like to get in on this... I have some really interesting tapes made up and ready to go.

I really enjoy working with tapes, and overdubbing/collage style edits. I have several mixed artists ones (I make a mixtape for each year), an Ariel Pink best of one with some hamdmade oscillator effects mixed inbetween the tracks, and some originals ambient/noise style.

But yeah someone enlighten us a bit on the process here for us who havent traded here before. Any other rules?

Ha ha. Sorry. I just wanted to give him a hard time. What are the instructions, anyway? Are we to make a tape and then send to Pookie?

my cassette deck died today, maybe when I get a new one I might join in...

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I've been using those Harmon Kardon "sound stick" transparent bubble computer speakers that utilize my RCA tape-out jacks instead of real speaker jacks. This makes tape dubbing impossible, and hampers my masterful mixtape skills. I need to get some normal speakers, as I've actually bought a few cassettes I can't even listen to yet. If I get this together, I will participate, otherwise no. Do we chose who we want to trade with, or is it random?

You people do know that you can just stick some good tunes on a C90 right?

Nothing fancy necessary.

I feel guilty about owning 3 decks in excellent shape that I don't use: a Nakamichi CR-3a, a Denon 500, and a Denon 550. I'd be willing to sell the 550 for $100 and the CR3a for $200. The 550 is practically brand new. The CR3a has to go for more because it's a 3-head deck, and of course, because it's Nakamichi.

I like Maxell best, especially the Type II high bias, although it is very difficult to find. I usually just see Type I.

BTW, my current deck of choice is a Yamaha K-960 from 1982.
