Im not debating different *sound qualities*, we can do that
all day, (and obviously the better the quality recording,
the more "accurate" the reproduction etc, no argument there)
I think your missing the point. The question was, how can i
tell what my voice sounds like to others. If you can't get
some approx giude from a tape player then your either deaf
or not listening with an open mind. Of course its not ideal,
(what it really), but it's a suggestion. It may not work for
some. Its better than plugging an ear. It sure is cheaper
than renting a studio to record yourself just for a gauge,
but maybe that's what some people need. who knows? works for
me.
of course these are all just opinions right?
peace.
