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.
