New to cassettes, trying to fix muffled/ warbly sound. I collect a lot of music related stuff and recently got a cassette player for my birthday. Never used one, but got zeppelin 4 and a Jimi Hendrix compilation. Zeppelin 4 randomly has the treble drop out and sometimes sounds out of tune, and other times sounds distorted and just plain bad.
Aug 8, 2017 · 2. I just found some music on a re-recorded second generation old audio cassette tape. The music is distorted on some parts of every track and has low fidelity.

Most likely it's the shell. If there aren't any screws on the shell then it's quite the destructive process to transfer the tape over.
Sep 20, 2009 · At this point, you have a simple decision: live with the imperfect sound, or erase the tape and record something else on it.

Mar 14, 2017 · Fast forward, and rewind the tape. Then gently smack the tape down on one side several times, then flip it & do that to the other. That will help even out the tape on the reels. If it still drags & squeals, then there are other issues. I did that, and it still drags & squeals. Johnny Reb, Mar 14, 2017.
