How I record my cassette tapes (The hard way).

A view into how I record my own tapes.
This is by no means a guide on how to do it yourself but purely to give an idea on how many work goes into making a recording the more extensive way.

The music for the tape and the art used on the cards are not mine but come from this gentleman, you can listen and buy his music here: https://posy.bandcamp.com/
Also visit his Youtube channel here: ‪@PosyMusic‬

The cassettes themself are not made to be sold but are used only for my own listening pleasure.
