Ebay is so variable a good price one day may not be another day. If someone is looking for something and it youtube points to a video about it the video may be years old so I don't mind not knowing prices. That said...I wonder why blank cassette tapes on ebay are sooo expensive.
You should check your local record stores (if you have any!) I always find really cheap metal and type II tapes for like 2 dollars a piece at my local record store.
Hello!! Long time subscriber, first time parteon here. If I remember, when I got my Technics SL-1200 MK2 record player I spent a lot of time looking for decent videos of it on YouTube. I somehow came across one of your videos and probably have watched everyone of them since. Just wanted to tell you that I think you’re doing a great job and I love your videos.
Thanks - and I don’t even have a SL1200, so the random youtube recommendation algorithm actually worked in my favour this time. Good to have you here.
I'd like to nominate the Advent 201 cassette deck for your consideration. It has one of the most quirky control layouts I've ever seen and IIRC was among the first generation of consumer decks with dolby B recording. affordable on ebay these days. advent was the US name, but I think it was sold in europe under wollensak and/or 3M branding. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your channel, it is very inspiring to me.
I bought a really nice one a while ago - very hard to find in the UK. I’ll get around to it sooner or later.
I guess I am part of a very small group that enjoyed your "flop" about Minidisc packaging.
Re: Subtitles: I'm not a YouTuber so I'm not sure how these things work, but a couple of the other YouTubers I follow had mentioned recently that they were getting subtitles added to their videos using 'rev.com' they transcribe for you (a human or a computer, different prices) so it doesn't matter that you don't have a script and you can provide the subtitles at relatively low cost and you don't have to worry about them. Not used them myself just passing on a recommendation!
I think I’m going to try https://www.descript.com/ - when I can figure it all out.
