Taking A Trip Back To The 80’s As The Cassette Tape Makes A Come Back!

Did you used to wait for your favorite song on your favorite radio station so that you could "tape" it on your recorder? Well, the old replacement for 8-Tracks is coming back. It seems like Baby Boomer's and Gen X-er's alike are getting a bit of a burn out on the digital music these days. Which is why the National Audio Company is seeing business pick up.

The owner Steve Stepp says he attributes his success to "stubbornness and stupidity." The owner went around the bought up all kinds of used cassette equipment and the packer he bought, was used to place wrapping on cigarette packages.

There is no manual in learning this equipment, they had to learn the old-fashioned way, School of Hard Knocks.

But many young musicians are picking up on the trend as well. It is much easier to "track" their music and mix it down to a cassette. Older folks like the cassettes because they prefer the warmth and presence in an analog recording that they just don't get out of a digital recording.

The National Audio Company has been in business since 1969 and has produced 10 million tapes in 2014, according to one report.

So if you are nostalgic and like the old way of listening to music, be encouraged as the old replacements of the 8-tracks is alive and kicking.
