Hi! My journey started 45 years ago when I bought some bootleg LPs and was like.....I can make a better recording than this, and started buying Sony recorders....WA-66, D-6 then D-5, evolving into DAT and now digital recorders. I run schoeps and DPA mics. A lot of my past activity is up on archive dot org, just search Pooneil I like recording LPs to cassette, like we did in the 80s......so I dont have to get up and flip a record every 20mins lol I also like working on old gear......Walkman players, turntables, cassette decks, boomboxes, radios etc......they are like jigsaw puzzles for me Cheers! Mike
Welcome to the forum! I've been to hundreds, if not thousands of concerts/shows, unfortunately I didn't have a setup to record any of them and never embraced holding up a phone. Plus it would be too hard with suds in my other hand. Please post your war stories! That was the time that cassettes were new and we couldn't get enough of taping noises or concerts. We used to have a local record shop called Go Johnny Go, the owner used to be a local music rep and had a ton of music connections. On one of my last visits he had gotten two big tape collections, one was mono-microcassettes with a ton of bootlegged shows, I think they were mostly punk rock? the other was band out-takes, he said one had Stevie Nicks running around a Milwaukee Studio begging everyone for a doobie. Before I had a chance to go back and listen, he closed up shop and sold his 125,000+ albums and tapes.
