So I'm doing a quick demo mix for a crossover-y band I'm in, and we're going for a vibey kind of feeling with what we had at our disposal. We quad tracked on Marshall JCM/Mesa Mark III sims, used double tracking and effects on the vocals but the coolest thing we did was run the masters through a cassette tape and then play it back through the interface. In my opinion it gave it a really cool sound, and gave everything a cool glue.
Tell me what you think, it's meant to be a demo rather than a professional sounding product, so don't overthink the quality of the mix. I just figured this was something I haven't seen a lot of and you might be interested in hearing the difference it makes; I've seen plenty of studio tape used but not cassettes. Obviously it's unorthodox but you use what you have.
