How much is the cost disparity for investing in cassette hobby rather then vinyl in general?
I'm quite interested because I'm poor.
>>65451022
Tapes are cheap. Basically if anyone is selling a tape for over $5 they're ripping you off
>>65451022
If you're poor then you should be looking into cassettes and cds. CD players are everywhere and cds are available cheaply from libraries for rent, thrift stores, or used from ebay for dirt cheap ( <5$).
I have nevery seen a cassette player that works from a thrift store or ebay. Get a 30 dollar one from ebay and get cassettes from ebay and thrift stores
Source: collected almost 100 albums this year with under 30 bucks
I made this album full of scary drone music and released it on cassette. I only have a few copies left.

Check it out if you want, download is free. If you buy a tape tonight I'll throw in some random tapes I have laying around

Cassestes sounds really fun to collect imo. CD's are a bore, even though I know it has vastly superior sound quality.
What's the best way to duplicate tapes?
deja fucking vu this thread is the exact same posts as the last time
>>65452096
really showcases the popularity of the music form
a buddy of mine from /daily/ is starting up a cassette label. I'm pretty thankful to be his first addition with copies coming out soon.

Any other labelmates lurking?
>>65451999
get a tape deck that does that
>>65452224
what are the logistics of setting up a cassette label? How much profit is there per tape?
>>65452290
>How much profit is there per tape?
If you sell for $5, then about $2 or $3
Where to buy tapes from places that don't fuck you over for the "le so retro" price bump meme?

how to record tapes from pc? google has been surprisingly unhelpful, delivering results for the process in reverse.
just wanting to record and distro some of my own tapes myself. hipster or not, cassette is a cool ass format.
>>65452816
damn this looks dope
>>65452926
what kind of tape deck do you have? You need one that allows recording.
>>65452926
Plug your audio out into the audio in of a cassette player and hit record

>buying CDs
>>65453177
alright that's easy enough, cheers.
i'll just have to hope i can get the right cord cause my tape deck has a l/r input.
>>65453147
That does. I used the violet colored tapes from there and they look very nice.
>>65453242
Get a 1/8" male to RCA male cord (red is right channel, white is the left)
Is it worth buying a duplicator?

Are you high?
>CD's are a bore, even though I know it has vastly superior sound quality.
Yep, you are.
What's a good tape player? I already have several personal cassette players but I want something to play them aloud. Also I fucking hate Guardians of the Galaxy and they ruined the prices of personal cassette players.
>>65458619
I want a sony cassette player but it costs too much because of that fucking movie
>>65458688
Every shitty chinese fakes of that sony player are supposedly worth more than 20 bucks, at the max. Fuck that film.
>>65451134

>>65459185

>>65455905
Nah no problem. You're actually my 2nd Aussie purchase. I'm very big down there.
>>65451134
8.72€ for shipping
>mfw it costs more than the tape itself
>>65460236
Take that up with the USPS. That's what it costs me :(
>>65460266
I know, I'm not trying to get it for free or anything, I'm just angry.
>>65460528
International shipping is ridiculous
