Cassette duplication is back because it never really left. It just stopped trying to impress people who need every release to look like a tech startup pitch deck.

For indie artists, small-run cassette duplication is one of the most practical ways to make a physical release without ordering 1,000 units, selling your amp, or pretending vinyl turnaround times are normal. Tapes are affordable, portable, collectible, and weirdly personal in a way digital files are not.
