Who else /cassette/ here? Post recent pickups if you can

>>73986772
WHy do you listen on cassette anon? I'm not attacking you, I'm curious.

>>73986772
I got In Utero for 25 cents.

>>73986787
Physical media is nice, and some artists can't afford a major label to release records / CD's. It's also cheaper.

>>73986772
they're so small! they're cute!

>>73986827
Oh. Nice I guess where do you find them?

>>73987077
:(

>>73987090
Online, record stores around me don't carry many tapes.

>>73986772
I liked the form factor of cassette tape releases

That's the only good thing I can say about them

>>73986772
I'm so jealous of that Twin Fantasy tape

I don't pick up tapes that often, so here's my full collection

How's the audio quality on cassettes compared to vinyl or CD?

>>73988385
It entirely depends on the genre. Cassettes warmth sound amazing with lofi pop, dream pop, psych, shoegaze, dirty hip hop, ambient...but a lot of people complain about sound quality because they're expecting a perfect recreation of their favorite digitally produced music ie death grips drones

>>73988366
good stuff

>>73988395
what a non-answer

>>73988385
Not sure about modern cassettes, but the ones in the 80's and 90's were pretty much rivaling hi-fi formats, due to tape material and Dolby noise reduction improvements.

>>73988385
Audio quality is obviously going to be lesser than both formats, but the difference is negligible if you have an average setup. And if you can afford a Hi-Fi stereo system you probably dont need to buy cassettes lol.

>>73988470
P.S.: But only if you have a decent cassette deck, instead of cheap-ass players and Walkman

Bump. I love cassettes. I picked these up recently.

how much xanax do you take in a day and how skinny are your arms

>>73986772
How much did you pay for the twin fantasy cassette? I mean it goes for a lot these days, and sounds like absolute shit.

What's a good portable cassette player?

I collect metal on cassette, typically death or death/black. Will post some of my favorites.

Didn't pay anything for it. Made a bootleg.

>>73989427
oh well

>>73987077
haha you got him!

>>73989387
But lots who release on cassette can't. Especially artists tryung to get their name out (I.E. Will Toledo's Twin Fantasy era albums). I buy a cassette of the album suits the format (gritty lo-fi albums) or if the art is expanded. Like with Pinkerton or AJJ's Knife Man.

>>73989481
trying* if** sorry for all the typos

>>73989427
how does it sound slowed down?

>>73989494
What do you mean????

>>73989501
on your tape deck, play a recording of it slowed down for me
"please"
Don't tell your deck doesn't have a slow down knob.

>>73989528
It doesn't, sorry :-(. What would you do with the recording in the first place man??

>>73990254
It might sound neat.

>>73990313
I'm trying to see if I'm right. Maybe I'm just retarded, but I'm thinking a bootleg of a presumably digital copy on cassette might have skips in it. Can anyone comfirm?

>>73990698
Nope. Mine plays fine. Most will as long as you have decent equipment.
