are nice, and it looks like eight tracks on a normal Phillips cassette is the next one

Many of you, I’m sure, would argue against complicated construction projects because electronics isn’t your hobby: music is. Well, that’s fair enough, but it’s still useful to become sufficiently adept at the art of soldering to be able to make or repair cables, wire patchbays, and possibly build the odd simple interface box. To those who have tried soldering and failed, it may seem more like a black art than a fine art, but that really isn’t true — it requires only understanding a few simple rules. If you spend just a few dollars on the right equipment and practice for as little as one hour, you should be able to cope with any soldering job in the studio, and that could save you a lot, both in terms of time and money.
