I know, stupid question. However, I have no idea what type of equipment to use to burn CD's to cassette tapes. I will be doing lots of this so I could use a great piece of equipment that will burn fast that will hold hundreds of CD's.
Thanks so much!!!!

Yes, Cassette

Its for prisoners and they can only receive cassettes, no CD's.
So, I would like to find out how to burn the CD's to cassettes.
Any suggestions?
 
Hook a CD Player 'out' to a cassette player 'in'. (Certain 'all in one' boom boxes may already have this integrated - I don't know. I'm used to using the stackable units)
Play the CD and hit the 'record' button on cassette player at the same time.
Pause CD and flip cassette as necessary.

Its all done in real time - so it's a long process to do reproduction this way. If you only need 1 though - it's a breeze.

Good luck.
 
Back in the old days commercial studios used to have a bank of cassette players to record quick tapes for the clients. You'd often see a bunch of Nakamichi cassette recorders in a side room. Kind of the same idea as burning a CD of a session or a temp mix now.

So the most efficient way to do what you are describing would be to buy a number of cassette machines so that you could record several cassette's in a single pass. To do them one at a time would be very time consuming and depending on how many you need to copy, not practical.

The signal flow would be from the output of your CD player (or DAW) to a signal distribution box where the signal would be multed, to the inputs of the cassette machines.

It's a bit of an annoying process because you can't do it untended, you have to watch the machines because of the pause and flip thing.

Incidentally, you don't "burn" cassette's, you record them.
 
This can't possibly be a real question can it? Am I really that old, that there are people on this planet that don't know how to record - er....burn - a tape? Nah. Can't be. Gotta be a joke.
