Hey guys,
I am looking to make ~50 or so mix tapes on cassette.
I was initially going to try getting them professionally duplicated, but now I am thinking I might just buy a tape duplicator (or going direct from computer to tape deck) and do them myself. Then try printing on the tapes and printing the jcards.
Anybody have experience here?
I have been doing research online but any help is appreciated.

You can buy units off eBay that can dub 3 or 4 tapes at a time, some in high speed. That should work for what you're doing.

Yeah I have been eyeing those 4 tape dubbers. I heard the quality isnt great, but doing 50 tapes one by one is going to be a PAINshaneoftheroad wrote:You can buy units off eBay that can dub 3 or 4 tapes at a time, some in high speed. That should work for what you're doing.

I stack 3-4 cassette decks at a time and daisy chain them so they're all recording from the same source. Decks can be cheap at thrift stores. Otherwise there is a pretty solid tape dubbing service in nashville

Re: Help: DIY Cassette Duplication
With 4-5 decks running at a time 50 tapes is surprisingly easy to get done.
