Gettin' Nostalgic Again For My Good Ol' Days...
Got "nostalgic" this time of evening, re-listening to the digital conversions I've done of the old "Tape and Record Show Enterprises" fake radio series made in the 1980's. Now that they are digitized, and won't lose anything fidelity wise being copied, like the original cassettes did, and I have those copies on multiple drives, no fear of wearing them out in my lifetime.
Currently listening to the first episode of the short lived "An Album In Thirty Minutes" series from 1984. It featured songs from "Madness" debut album, which I bought on cassette from Columbia House during my short lived cassette album buying phase. The digitization sounds surprisingly good considering the "broadcast" copy it is sourced from that cassette dubbed to another cassette with my opening narration, run through digital sound cleaning software. The software didn't exist when the "broadcast" tape was made from the original cassette in 1984. I dubbed it with two cassette decks with a Radio Shack mixer between them, with Dolby B turned on.
Technology has improved a LOT in the past four decades.
