When I was a kid, in order to save money on mix tapes, I would dub records and radio to to the left and right channels separately and listen to them on my stereo with the right or left channel mixer knob. Did anyone else do this?

No way would I trust one of those things with one of my limited release cassettes in a hot car today ~Coxy posted:That's hilarious! My dad had an Akai tower stereo set with a JVC tape deck and speakers from about 1980 or so. It was possible to mix stuff on the pre-amp to left and right from either the record play/radio or tape deck and really I found the left/right channel thing by accident because I had recorded Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon onto tape and it sounded like poo poo on (I think) the right channel. After that I found that it was possible to use the mono out from the pre-amp to go to the tape recorder and record both L/R from the record to the tape. I had a late 80's Sony Boombox with a mixer/channel slider and when I played it back, it sounded acceptable but not very good. You could hear a little bit of bleedover from the other channel very faintly. Also, playing it in anything else was awful.

Tapes are actually surprisingly good when they're high quality. poo poo tapes are poo poo though but the same goes for LPs.
