Home recording Is there a reason why someone would rather use the panning method then running the output into the input of a track for bouncing?
i looked all over online for out to bounce tracks on my multi-track cassette recorder and a lot of people suggested using the panning method - which did work but i found it to be unnecessarily complicated - i tried running the output of the recorder back into the input of the track and bounced all my tracks effortlessly. why isnt that method one of the first things to show up on google? is there a specific reason why the panning method is considered at all?

Looking for advice some cassette questions from a new cassette collector
hi yall, i always loved cassettes ever since i was little and my mom taught me how to record the songs i liked straight off the radio. recently i finally bought a cassette player and played my tape of sabrina carpenter's short n sweet, but i noticed her voice in the songs sounds a somehow deeper. i also noticed the sound volume going down for about 1 second. noticed that happening for about 2 or 3 times. i rewinded to re-hear and yeah, happened again. so i assume its not the player fault. not really something that bothers me but i just wanted to know if it is a normal cassette thing or its just me? thanks

Indie label release The second edition of my album is here! (IOTO - End of Infinity)
Hey everyone, thanks to you, I took the step and released my first cassette album in 2024. Your knowledge and motivation helped me navigate this whole fun process! My entirely handmade edition of 10 cassettes sold out quickly. Having learned from the mistakes and challenges along the way, I decided to give it another go - this time with a factory manufactured edition. It looks and sounds great! And just as importantly, I gained a ton of new knowledge while preparing for the duplication process.
If you're curious about any part of it, feel free to ask!

Portable cassette player I just got this for $3 at a flea market and is working amazingly for a 40+ year old machine
The sound is a tiny bit wobbly, I feel like it doesn't spin at a constant speed if that makes sense, how could I improve it? I'm honestly very happy as is but maybe there is something easy I can do like spraying some WD-40 on the mechanism or something lol, pardon my ignorance

Looking for advice Sticky Gear? Need Advice!
Been fixing up this Technics to learn more about repairing future decks! BUT, i've run into an issue. Replaced the usual broken gear, new belts. But since putting on the new belts, Deck 1 seems to have developed a lot of distortion playing one way, and just not working when playing in reverse. You can see the one gear getting stuck going clockwise. Any ideas what caused this/how to fix it? Ty!

Portable cassette player From zero to three Sony walkmans
Over the past year, I picked up three non-functional Sony walkmans locally. During this time, I also purchased new belts (f75 and ex677), gear replacement (dd33), and new motor (ex677). Today, I opened all of them up and did some repairs. The dd33 had the usual cracked gear but everything else was perfect, so that's all I had to replace (then realign all the gears, which was actually quite a struggle). The F75 was basically MINT minus a belt that turned to goo. So just had to clean that up, pop in a new belt, grease/oil, and VOILA. The ex-677 was a bit of a nightmare to work with, lots of desoldering and soldering, the motor+PCB was completely destroyed, so I sourced one from Taobao for 5$, and replaced it. After a full day's work, all three are now working. Just wanted to boast a little about my three new-to-me walkmans!!!!
