They weren't really much of a thing here in the U.S. as I recall, but some audio books of the same or later time periods came very close to being audio plays. My family had some of the Star Wars Expanded Universe (now Legacy) audio books on cassette, and those were presented with multiple actors, music, and sound effects, rather than just being a straight reading by one person. The was still a consistent narrator there to weave the story together, but in all other aspects, they were basically audio plays.
Makes sense audio tape would be especially big in Germany. But also makes sense music rights nonsense would be big there too. Pretty sure they invented both. :p
Also walkmen tend to be not super great. Also it looks like the azimuth could be a bit off as the two channels have somewhat different levels. This can probably be adjusted. Also any sort of speed or tempo change may lose fidelity. Also that peak at the way top looks like aliasing. Best to just filter that out. Could be from recording at 44100hz and resampling to 48000 at some point. Or something introduced at speed/tempo changing.
And all the SGI Machines in my collection go *YEAH YEAH YEAH* ❤👍 Thank you!
You're welcome!
Those SGI systems were the workhorse of the weather graphics systems at TV stations. At least those from Weather Central, anyway.
Really nice video and really good explanation. Thanks for sharing
I love that you “daily drive” your SGI box
Yeah, the SGIs is amongst the few I every now and then do something with it.
SGI😄
This is the perfect episode to watch to celebrate me finally getting my first SGI system, an Indy!
Looking forward to seeing more SGI content!
There will be some more occasional SGI content for sure!
@eugiblisscast btw, let me know via Discord if you need help with the Indy.
@@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR Thank you so much ☺️ I'll let you know!
I have a Kenwood KX W4040, did a double take on your your double tape deck. Mine makes really really good tapes.

Yeah.
It's called Critical Role.
