Heh. Yes that's true Mike. I thought It was the software because :

a - I got a 'wrong file type' error (rather than an unreadable file), which I thought meant the software had saved the file with the wrong extension...

b - I had seen posts on here about the tape save being disabled.... I now assume they were talking about the demo version..

c - It was 4 am when I wrote that post, I had been up for hours creating a bassline sequence ( I just got the cart yesterday!!).

hahaha, anyways.... So it is possible to save to tape. of course it is!

Think I have nother datasette round here somewhere.

Thanks for the Azimuth tip too!

cheers

i'm using tape; it's so authentic so i'm pretty happy with it; it's real world experience..

and it works w/o problems

Thanks Mike, I'll get the file.

After reading about this here and on other boards, I think I did get lucky with the alignment...

It would be great if someone knew the code (POKES ??) to make the tape loading noise audible through the auidio out or RF out of the C64. Then you could just put a commercial music cassette in and adjust the alignment screw as it plays. apparently you just turn the screw each way until the recording sounds its best....


So does anyone think this would work? does anyone know the code ?

Cheers

I recall listening to an audio tape through the datasette somewhere back in the 80s..
At the time the whole thing was kind of cool though I guess I was just amazed by the fact it was sampled sound no matter the quality..
We're talking 1-bit audio here and it's not very intelligible so I guess your head adjustments would hardly be noticable..

Or wait a little while and get the DC2N, a 100% tape emulator using SD-cards.

(Seem like life of a P64 owner consists mainly of waiting for more gear...)
