CDs =/= overproduction.

Tapes have bad sound quality that will worsen what you recorded when copying to tapes.

Tapes suck. I know because I used them as a kid.

1. Hard to break just by using it.
2. Better quality without even touching a soundboard.
3. Longer lasting
4. Larger inserts
5. Outs you as a classist.

They came out in the 80s. I said they got cheap in the 90s .

I'm just saying tapes suck. They might have been convenient.

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

The barrier of entry is much, much, much lower for CDs and more feasible to actually produce with a home studio.

I agree with this, since CD's are more directly compatible with the equipment that's easiest to acquire. Getting you're MP3's or WAV files onto a CD: Easy. Onto a tape? ****, I wouldn't know how.

Plus, digital recording and editing has a low barrier of entry and is convenient.

Do you not remember the entire 90s (I guess you don't actually)? Cause CDs were by far the primary format throughout the decade and even past filesharing in the 00s. It's only really in the last decade or so that they've become less relevant.

Hook your cassette recorders input up to an output on the source, press record on the cassette recorder, then press play on the source. You have to time it right with the song lengths so you don't clip a tune or have too much blank space. I used to do this with 8-Tracks too. I had an 8-Track player/recorder.
