This is primarily aimed at R2R users but I guess cassette enthusiasts have a legitimate claim to participate too given the crazy high prices of NOS blank cassettes these days!
I'm curious what content you record onto tape and why? For example:
Do you record from analogue sources such as vinyl and other tape machines to preserve the 'all-analogue chain'?
Do you record digital content that was originally mastered on tape to get the music 'back where it belongs'?
Do record sterile-sounding all-digital productions to add some 'tape warmth' to the sound?
Or do you fill yer boots and record anything and everything to tape because you just can't get enough of it?!
(I did consider running this as a poll but I'd much rather read comments than count scores, and I'm hoping I might learn a thing or two ).
