Stumbled over another thread and got curious. Only in a very hypothetical phase right now since I don’t even have an album ready, nor do I sell my music anywhere. But still, cassettes. 
To those of you who are aleaady doing this, which parts of the work do you do yourself vs leave to services?
- Buying tapes
- Buying a tape deck recorder
- Buying cassettes
- Doing artwork
- DYI printing of inlets, adhesive labels on the cassette itself etc
What’s the quality bar to settle at, generally? Are 3-head decks a requirement or just snobbery? Do listeners even listen to the cassette or is that more of a thing to put on a shelf as a token? Lots of questions.
Oh, and I’m totally expecting this in the end, just so you don’t think I haven’t already imagined the finish line here:
