Old Demo Cassettes - new global technology


Revisiting some old demo cassettes - yes, cassettes(!) that I'm dubbing after years of being packed away. Some really great memories; can't believe they haven't disintegrated!


I remember the days when doing an 8 track demo cost about $500!  Now I can do a demo with my Mac, a midi interface and a headphone amp.  It all fits in a roller bag!  And best of all, I can collaborate with musicians around the world by just emailing the digital music file back and forth.....so cool.

Remember Dolby?


Converted some old cassettes to digital today! They sounded AWFUL, and I was disappointed that I'd waited so long to dub them, then realized that the 'Dolby' was on....it's been so long since I used a cassette deck, I forgot about Dolby! Surprisingly, everything still sounds great!
