bet you're huge on facebook

no new film camera produced and the price of film

it's the same with analog audio. reel to reel tape actually disappeared for a bit because no one manufactured it anymore, but some company (forget who) finally started making it again for the audiophiles. one reel of tape ~~is~~ was, 10 years ago, ~$300 and gives you 15 minutes of recording time, if you're running it at high speed for the best quality. no idea what the state of the business is in now, i was never a gear head and never kept up with any of it

1st thing i would do would be call the radio station--they might have a digital copy already, since it's a performance. or they might have the equipment you'd need to get it digitized. just don't leave the tape with them, unless you make a copy.

failing that, the public library might also have tape to digital conversion gear, depending on how big/well funded the library is.

last resort would be a recording studio, which might cost lots of money per hour, and it'll have to be converted in real time--play the tape from start to finish, while the computer 'records' it. if the studio don't have a top of the line gourmet tape deck, then they can take just take the output of your own player and plug it into protools, just ask for the highest resolution/bitrate in a lossless format

edit: i forgot another option, if you're in the states. you might try your state archives, just google the name of your state along with "archive", it should be a .gov address. they might actually be interested in the recording for their own digital collection, and would definitely have the necessary gear to get it digitized. the tricky part is they would need the permission of the radio station and/or whoever owns the copyright to post it publicly

i was a recording engineer during the time analog recording was just starting to get surpassed by digital, and of course there are still people who will die on the "analog is always best forever and ever" hill

but it's to the point where if you're not a completely-obsessed-to-the-point-no-one-can-stand-being-around-you audiophile, you're not going to be able to tell the difference between an analog source and a digital one pretending to be analog

the pros of digital just simply can't be outweighed by the pros of analog anymore

photography might be an area where digital hasn't caught up, since film's resolution is down to the molecular level, but that won't be the case forever (if it even is the case, i'm not a photographer)

lol when i was an asshole kid i did that with guitar volume knobs

i was addicted to facebook. i started getting away by just not looking at it for longer periods of time: 1 day, 1 week, month, etc. it stayed like that for a long time. then i went through and deleted everything i ever posted, replied, commented-- yes it took forever, but it ended up as just a blank profile with my name on it. finally i deactivated the account, then deleted it

time wasted on facebook: way too fucking much
time spent regretting deleting it: absolute zero

i've seen enough vacation/cat/baby photos to last 10 lifetimes, and if my friends can't talk to me through texting, then i guess they must not have anything important to say

fuck facebook
i'm just glad i immediately found insta, twitter, tiktok, all the other bullshits boring and pointless right off the bat, so never dealt with those

gotta make room for trumpler youth academy

ready for all the "we need to LIBERATE ________ because they WANT us to save them!!!" cartoonishly bullshit propaganda

i think he was talking about my misuse of "literally" since he's not actually in the white house yet, not that he'll somehow be removed from office

hell of a thing to argue about; hence our current situation...

violate Wikipedia’s rules and escalate tensions over bias accusations

after being alive over the last ~10 years, i just can't understand how people still think "rules" matter to republicans. there's literally a convicted felon rapist in the white house and people are still talking about rules, laws, ethics, the constitution, and everything else that USED TO matter.

they're getting every single thing they want, and it's not "rules" that'll ever stop them

the whole point of the game was to illustrate how dumb libertarians are

it took me a long time to get it too. her home planet was turned into asteroids by the death star
