One option would be to post a graphic of some kind — maybe just a generic "New Track Tuesday" image — then paste the song list in the alt text, since alt text has a 2000-character limit. 😃

Zen on macOS with DuckDuckGo for search. I set my tabs (minimized to icons-only) on the left and make use of Multi-Account Containers. Occasionally an update breaks some key feature I’m using, so I just update as infrequently as possible. 😊

This is the first I'm hearing about the Ink & Dagger reunion. I had a few of their records and saw them in Atlanta in the late '90s. Going to have to revisit some of their music and see if it still holds up!

Thank you for this article — it expresses what so many of us have been feeling. (As an aside, I couldn't find where to report this to the editors, but is there a typo or missing word in this sentence? "Kirk was smart enough to ask his father for a check when wanted to found Turning Point.")

Does Buzzsprout give you a list of places where they distribute your show, and give you the option to opt out of particular ones? That's how it is with most of the music distributors — not sure about the podcast equivalent.

I demagnetize each unit that comes through as part of routine maintenance, but the cassette usually does not succumb to the same magnetization issues as 2" tape and other similar formats. I don't know that I've ever repaired a machine where demagnetization solved a particular problem.

Based on the "new releases," this ad is from 1979 or 1980. Apparently Nashvillians were paying $39 in 2025 dollars to rent a movie for 24 hours? 😳 (And yes, there's gotta be some kind of typos in those blank tape prices!)

My first hunch is a bad cassette, as I've heard that same kind of popping before. From the angle of the camera, I'm having a hard time making out the brand — Radio Shack? I'd suggest trying another brand of cassette if you have one on hand, and let us know if the problem is still happening.

Next time you do one of these, please consider cross-streaming the event to a service that doesn't require a login. (YouTube, perhaps?) Some of us don't have Tiktok accounts by choice, and it was a shame to have no way to watch.

Just checked and Interestingly, it's wrong on Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music, but correct on Qobuz (which is what I use). Odd, since they all likely got the audio and metadata from your (one) distributor — right?

What is the brand/model of the CD player? I operate a business repairing 4-track cassette recorders, so I have accumulated a number of good sources for finding rare service manuals. I may — I stress may — be able to track down the manual for you, if there is one.

How do you feel about using previously-used Type II tapes? I have a few places where I source previously-recorded Type IIs in good quantities — including many Maxell XLII — which I then fully FW in each direction and run over my industrial bulk-eraser. Like new! (In my opinion, at least. 😁)

Recursive Delete Audio/Visual @recdel.com · 23/05/2025
Do you generally use Type I tapes instead of Type II, or was this just a investigative shootout? In your opinion, does the sound quality of the RTM tape justify its cost vs other options?

Forget launching your new album on vinyl or cassette or as hand written sheet music - why not release it as it was meant to be heard - playing on a tinny telephone line as you wait 30 minutes for a call centre to put you through to the right department

Testing another USB-powered field setup in the garden, and it might be my new fave. Midi keys into Ableton Move; Portastudio 414 for tape textures, loops, pedal Send & return and overall mixer, all being captured (along with environment) by DR-40.

Just sent you a response. 👍 Been focused on getting work out the door so have neglected correspondence a bit the past week or so. The recdel.com domain has been down sporadically as I moved servers, but email is hosted on its own server so none gets bounced if there's a web outage.

As is common with the Tascam 424mkII, there was a very minor crack extending outward from one of the PCB screw holes — in this case it prevented tracks 2 & 3 from recording/playing back consistently. I probed the broken signal paths and installed four jumper wires to correct the problem. #recdel

Agreed. Pre-2022, blue checkmarks on Twitter were legit but seemingly only celebrities had them — and post-2022, only complete trolls wanted them. Bluesky, on the other hand, appears to be approaching this with the right intentions.
