you guys got it all wrong. the real way to mix is to use a 60-minute type-1 tape & attempt to cut the tunes around the "right" place when you record. extra bonus for special tape tricks (use the ffwd & rewind buttons, or invent your own tricks, i.e. my tape deck would speed up the tape while recording when pressing the "pause" key slightly, which would make for a very slowed-down sound on tape) or for tape bugs (use a really old one that's been re-recorded over for around 4-5 times. better even, use this technique to record your own live music, & when you're done, send the results to diskono. -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com

Nyaaaaaaaaah, go away. *I*'m the original Pause Button Pirate :-)) One of my tricks is using Tully's old Space / Oasis / Suede tapes from out of the car when he's not looking (NO-ONE should be listening to these) and putting 'better' music over them, only to discover on playback that the bastards have drop out or are stretched due to heating up in the glove compartment. Oval eat your heart out.
