Being born in the mid 70's allowed me to experience music in many forms. Parents had 8 tracks and record. Cassette tapes dominated my early teen life, and cd,s came along about the time I began to drive. As an adult, we now have digital forms of music in streaming services.
Growing up in the hip hop age allowed me to enjoy scratching records. So that's a plus.
When I got into the EDM scene. 90's Florida raves strictly consisted of all the music performed via turntables and records. It was recorded on Cassette tapes and distributed throughout the scene. Maybe it was the drugs, but I could tell a distinct drop-off in the purity of the music from record, Cassette, and cd quality. Records and tapes had a more raw sound to me. Cd had more crisp sound, but lacked the depth of the others.
Am I alone on this island?
I like the convenience of streaming music with every song imaginable avaliable with a quick search.
I miss mix tape style recordings
I miss hearing that record sound
8 tracks seemed odd in their function, but I like the nostalgia.
Bonus question, for recorded music, live or studio?
Live for me all the way.
