Multitrack recording with many mono cassette recorders


Is it possible?


Starting them simultaneously.


Recording each instrument with a close up mic.


Playing back by pressing play simultaneously from the beginning of each cassette. Each musician pressing play to his, her instrument recording.


Pray that they stay in synchronization.


If the musician is not happy they can take their cassette with them.


Advantages:


No cables needed on playback. Each cassette player is self contained with batteries, amp and speaker.


3D effect as each instrument is acutely presented in soace as a real entity.


If needed the tracks can be digitized and mixed or synchronized in a DAW?


Analog tape recording instatenious peak limiting on each track.


Very direct sound as the signal oath us very simple. Just a few transistors from mic to speaker.


Wow and flutter can liven up analog synth tracks furthermore.
