Cassettes are reproduced by bin-loop, where they take the 1/4″ master tape, make several copies, string them together, and use that to feed a cassette-duplication machine. Q: What are the pros and cons of recording a live show?
Pros: You can capture the energy of a live show. Some bands find it difficult to take the live energy and reproduce it in the studio. You can also capture the audience response. There’s less recording time involved, only a few hours on-site. Cons: It can be VERY expensive. You need to pay an engineer, pay for the recording equipment, negotiate with the club, and the like. If you’re just setting up mikes in the audience beware that your tape will be much lower quality than a studio recording.
