Walking into my local Radio Shack today to pick up a blank 90-minute audio cassette, I experienced a brief but real pang of anxiety that such things were no longer made—alleviated only when I found the product in question in the area where camcorder cassettes were stored.

Incidentally, the instructor who led my FInal Cut Pro workshop on Friday said that she does all her sound recording now using a shotgun mic jacked into a camcorder; she said mini DV tapes are less fragile than DATs, they record superior quality sound, assuming your hardware's any good, and they have the special added bonus of having visuals that will let you know where the key points of your sound fall. So I'm now thinking slightly confused thoughts about convergence in media production as well as consumption....

Aha, and reading your blog I can see why! I have blurb envy ;-)
