This reminded me of how I used to record using a clock radio that had a built in mic and then play it through my parents stereo and record onto another tape while overdubbing something. I always got fun lofi recordings like this and the first generation tracks would have a cool room sound to them. My introduction to reverb I guess.

yea, i used to do the same thing with a dual cassette deck and mic input; the entire reason i bought the stereo was because it had a mic input!
