• In my experience you need a decent deck with a strong and stable drive. Especially when the tapes are old and played a lot. I have a 'boom box' that has a tape player and it's decent but you still get a decent amount of wow and flutter. If it's really sentimental it might be worth having it done in a pro setup. I did a few tapes at one point but it turned out that the tape player was part of the sentiment.

  • Sorry I should have explained better. It's a mix tape. I mainly just want the track listing to recreate with sourced digital versions of the songs.

    I just wondered if me posting / dropping off a tape to someone would be easier than sourcing a tape player then writing down the tracks.

    Having a copy saved digitally would be a nice bonus. Mainly though it's just the track listing.

  • That figures in this day and age. It used to be a lot harder to recreate mix tapes but there's very little you can't get now. I won't get started on the different originals having different qualities! :)

    I'm a bit busy at the moment but could probably do it for you by running it through the tape player and recording it, if it's playable you'd get enough of an idea to put together a track list. There is no way I would lend you the GF 777 though!
