I restrained myself from mentioning Springsteen's "Nebraska"-
until now! Did pretty good (sold millions) for a "cassette" album.

Seriously, I think a 424 type portastudio is "good enough" to
indicate songwriting and/or performance talent to a competent
publisher or record producer. The when you're signed, use the 2"
reel to reel for the record. :)

BTW, 30 ips wasn't widely used until the early 70's for rock recordings, so Sgt. Pepper was at 15 ips.
A number of engineers prefer 15 ips on rock recordings due to the fuller bottom end versus 30 ips.

Edited to say that I hadn't looked at your profile before I posted that shit about Analog Airlines and Southwest. Hell of a coincidence.

I fly out of CPS and SAR. Mostly SAR because it's close to home and the rates are cheap.

So where ya at?

No kidding, what a co-in-ki-dink!!!!

I work at DFW Tracon, a laff a minute! Sorry, I'm not familiar with CPS or SAR...it must be more than 45 miles away from DFW! If you're ever in the area, we'll have to hook up....I've been a'vectoring here for about 10 years, "Calling approach, say again, I was on a landline!!"

My Beatles/Sgt. Pepper comment drew some very educational responses, from my point of view. Again, I'm just starting out with this stuff, and every little snippet is something new, new information. The more, the better! I'm forcing myself, reluctantly, not to play with the machine until I get my manual. But, I don't think that will last very long.

I understand that a cassette format will not yeild, generally, marketable results. That's fine, I'm not looking to market. I just want to play with some toys. As a guitar player, sounds, and putting them together seems rather intriguing to me, and I just want to see what happens.

Anyway, it's nice to see that knowledgeable folks read and respond to the NEWBIE thread. Thanks in advance, and I'll probably be back here 2 days after I get my user manual!!!

With a million questions!!!!

See y'all!
