Misc. Recordable Media

Live music is well and good, but recording will always be an important part of our profession. Whether you're a music-maker, studio engineer, producer or otherwise, if you work with recording gear, there's a solid chance that this selection of miscellaneous recordable media has something to offer. This is the place to find whatever isn't a CD or DVD, so if you have equipment that needs something a little bit more exotic (or old-school) than optical media, you're on the right track. Go ahead and take a look to see for yourself: some of the media in this section may seem a little bit dated, but as long as musicians are using the equipment that needs them, you'll keep on finding them here.

Although it's been a few decades since it sat in the spotlight, 4-track recording is alive and well today with plenty of gear that still takes advantage of cassette tapes to get the job done. These are the biggest share of what you'll find here, available in a variety of lengths so you can choose only as many minutes of recording time as you need. The Trutone 15 Minute High Bias Audio Cassette Tapes are ideal for short recordings such as single songs or audio clips, while the Trutone 60-Minute High Bias Audio Cassette Tapes will have you covered for album-length content. And of course, these tapes come with stick-on labels so you can keep them organized after you've recorded and re-recorded on them.

It's true that optical and digital media take the lead in today's music industry, but that's not to say the miscellaneous recordable media in this section are down for the count just yet. In fact, media like cassette tapes even have one big advantage over CDs and DVDs: easier and more reliable re-recording. So don't let your favorite recording gear go unused just because it's using a less-common type of media! Stock up on what you need in this section, and put that equipment right back to work.
