I never went the multitrack cassette route.
That was where I started. I loved it.
But then, I once loved tea and I haven't drunk it since I was 7....
I'm stuck in the past with cassette decks for recording music.

A good metal tape on a direct drive cassette deck with Dolby S is a charm to listen
If you make music you're happy with and cassette supports your workflow, then that's where you should be.
I know the technology has gotten much better since cassette. What are you guys using to record your music and store it?
I loved my 8-track cassette portastudio. I only liked the 4-track portastudio for a short while. I was lucky enough to discover its limitations very early on in the game. And even though experts told me not to go the 8-track cassette route, I ignored them because in 1992, cassette recording was what I knew. I used to mix in real time, direct to a CD.
12 years and 10 albums on, I was finding 8 tracks limiting. So I looked into computers and in the course of my research, discovered standalone DAWs. The first one I had was a Zoom MRS1266, which was brilliant in every way imaginable except 2 ~ there was no varispeed and there appeared to be no way of monitoring other tracks while bouncing. No good for me. So I did extensive research and found the Akai DPS12i in 2005 or 6 and I've been using it ever since. It's a 12-track with 238 virtual tracks, varispeed {crucial to my workflow and ideas}, and a whole lot more. It's now ancient technology, but I have 4 of them. When I'm mixing, I go from one machine to the other and mix in sections, then join the bits together. Then I transfer in real time to a CD, back up on a CD, computer, and hard drive. I back the projects up onto a CD via SCSI. I listen to each song on a couple of stereos, the car, the iPod, the computer, sometimes a laptop, a boombox, and the TV.
I love the DPS12i and I don't care that it's something that the cavemen of yesteryear wouldn't touch nowadays. For me, it's the perfect halfway house between computer power and technology and portastudio simplicity. My motto here used to be "Digital is my razorblade."
I feel I should heartily hug whoever came up with the idea of the undo button !
