Hi Again Anna, I wasn't really thinking about it till I read again.. If staying with the analog cassette porta studio for the purpose of staying with it as a enthusiasts is another story all together. It's like vintage cars I LOVE them , I hate the every car looks a like and all that way it is today.. Give me VINTAGE! Have you driven a vinatge car lately? Drive to work in the summer in a car with No air conditioner.. No power steering, no power windows, an AM radio and no power brakes.. Np power steering is murder.. I'm not talking about computer confusion recording.. A porta studio is a porta studio and the 8 track Roland ones that they are practically giving away on Ebay now levels any cassette porta studio. And if I remember correctly I always had to mix down to another cassette deck for the proper speed from the master tape in the porta studio. Then you wanna take that tape and bounce it down to CD to load into a computer and then go to Soundforge etc.. Isn't that leaving the analog world to go into digital. Digital does not distort and crumble everytime when it hits red. Actually I have never had to delete a track that peaked on my digital recorder in 5 years (many times) you cant slam it like tape of course.. Cassettes have to be hi bias. Maxwells where I live are $1.49 each I see some 3 packs but the big packs are never around anymore. You can order through catalogs for those silver generic bundles. I always find i need stuff in a hurry and I run to the store. CD's cost me $8.99 for a pack of 50 Like I said if it just to be a purist I'm all for that. As for the concern for the quality and marketing of your music today, the old cassette porta studios are not my first choice. And do not sound better.. former owner of 3 porta studios and I did cherish them then.. But my music is very important to me and i always invest what I can into it.. and fortunatly you can get something better for very cheap.. I'ts depends on what you want and what's is more important quality and the sound of your music or staying with with cassettes,,, Just something to consider ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) peace Sub [This message has been edited by substudio (edited 09-06-2006).]
