Playing with Fire - remastered from a 30 year old 4 track cassette

I found a huge box full of my old 2 and 4 track cassettes!
 
This song was one of the first I'd written ( I was 18 at the time) and recorded. I had two Sony cassette decks, and had to bounce from one to the other for each new "track". playing along or singing to the first deck and recording both into the second, then visa-versa. What you printed is what you got! How many of us cut our teeth on this method?
 
So nice to have Sonar to run it through 30 years later. I'll post the original cassette recording if anyone wants.
 
30 years later I can say that kid had heart! And the fight to record it this way made the songs so much more I think.

Thanks Starise.
 
I remember spending so much time getting the sound as "right" as I could, and not accepting any take unless I was very sure of it. And I loved EVERY minute of it. I don't think anything I've done digitally has every had the heart I put into these songs.

Sounds really good to me.
 
Sounds like the bass was the last track recorded.

Wow, surprised this came off a cassette! Your effort to create a solid recording really paid off. :)

I'm working on a mix of a song I did a number of years back myself - my tools and experience have improved. Well, at least my tools have... :)

Absolutely great sound quality, considering how it was recorded and the medium used. It makes you think if having all this technology does actually get in the way of the recording process.

Very well done!  It makes my box of cassettes look/sound puny.

Thanks Lynn, but mine sounded very puny before Sonar got ahold of them :-)
