@atomicpoet @upmultimedia A Nakamichi is hardly a budget tape player. I'm also mystified by your choice of cassette over cd. I'd argue that devices that can play cds are cheaper, more widely available, and definitely higher sound quality than cassette players. Other advantages include no wind/rewinding, side flipping, tape stretch/wear, no wow/flutter of cheaply made commercial recording cassettes…

Before cds were available I was an enthusiastic user of cassettes. For people born after the mid '80s that want to experience cassettes, or old folks that are nostalgic for them, great!

@atomicpoet @upmultimedia I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make. Yes, open reel tape can be a very high quality choice, particularly the wide types that were used in professional studios. However, you were talking about people being surprised that cassettes are still being made…

Recording directly to cd is trivial these days. It's no more difficult than dubbing cassettes.

In any case, I'm not going back to cassettes. Been there, done that, good riddance.

Nice!

@killyourfm There’s no melodics integration AFAIK.

@killyourfm On the off chance that you haven’t seen it, drumeo has 100 of their songs available for free (you do have to give them your email address though). They’re mostly classic tracks, and they have full notation, speed control, looping, drum removal, etc., same functionality as their paid version.

I discovered it today while researching drumeo & considering if I should pay the extra $50 to get access to the songs on melodics.

I recommend checking it out if you’re not allergic to standard notation: https://www.drumeo.com/100-songs

@killyourfm That was me. I’m not a hero, but I did sleep on the couch last night. (Next to my drums) ?

I’m happy that you’re enjoying your new kit!
