This. There used to be a pair of terrific late night/early morning programs on CBC called Brave New Waves and Night Lines. The host of Night Lines, for the two weekends preceding xmas every year would play alternative tunes of the season. I had five or six sets of cassettes that I made by selecting the tunes as he played them.
- hit record as song starts
- decide whether I want to keep it
- If so, all good
- if not, quickly stop, rewind, find my initial stop and wait for next tune
Made for some interesting mixes and especially transitions between songs.

Taping sessions on John Peel, it was the only way to get hold of that stuff back before they started putting it all out on vinyl... Then when hip-hop started being a thing a mate used to spend HOURS editing his 12s onto cassette, he was very good at it and his mixes were great... He became a video editor, very apt...
