Dear fellow chiptuners,
Last week my computer broke down due to a faulty harddrive and I've been making music without using it since. It occurred to me that I only use my computer as a recording device. I would like to experiment with recording directly to cassette tape (not the big tapes) but do you think I would need other pieces of gear for this? I normally master my recording by gently compressing and then hard limiting them in ableton; can a tape do something similar for me ,i.e., does tape compression work for this kind of thing? Would I need an extra compressor or limiter to make it sound good?
I'm not really interested in getting that 'tape sound', just interested in moving away from using a laptop at all (except for digitizing recordings maybe), so if there are other options you think I should consider I am all ears.
Thanks!
Vegas
