A few months ago, my 23yo reached out to me to ask me help them to make a mixtape.
I. Shit. You. Not.
They and their partner were hitting a dating milestone and it was also going to be Valentine’s Day. I had a voicemail, “Dad. You’re old. I need your help. I want to turn a playlist into a mixtape.”
The child had some old blank 60min cassettes and one of those recorders with the aux/line in. Mono.
So we talked about leader tape, balancing the time on each side, how to set the input levels from the MacBook to ensure balanced volume throughout the recording.
And yes. Putting the pencil into the cogs to get through the leader tape and into the magnetic media.
