Thread Name: The Death of Recording Tape?
Subject: RE: The Death of Recording Tape?
Dave O,

I have several generations of recording equipment that my father used over the years. Since I'm in the early stages yet of figuring out what all he was doing when he made his recordings, I've kept all of the equipment he used to do it. It sounds like you might be a man to answer some of my questions as I unpack boxes and boxes of cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes and begin listening and transfering them to CD.

I also think there might be a level of redundancy in his equipment that some of it can be set aside as surplus. If this happens, I'll inform the Mudcatter's who still use the old solid state equipment.

I finally got my hands on a good reel-to-reel player this year (Dad's was picked up by another family member when we were dividing up his estate). Now I can listen to his earliest tapes.
