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.

get a double cassette deck. it's only tape don't sweat it.

i'll sell you my old technics deck for a hundie.

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 PAIN

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

With 4-5 decks running at a time 50 tapes is surprisingly easy to get done.
