How would you make a split tape?

There's 1 or 2 songs from each band (two bands). Every band's playing time is about 6-7 min.
Would you record both bands in one side of the tape or would you split the bands on both sides, despite the too much unrecorded space between them?

Well, you can have tapes with the lenght you need. So in this case, its not a big deal, you can have both bands on same side, or one band per side (i think its better like that). You are going to make a split with?

yeah there are some sites online where you can order tapes which are made to specific lengths on each side

The problem is that I couldnt find tapes less than 46 min. I was in a dilema, how I'd like best my copies from the Draugluin/Mooncult split. I guess I prefer band per side. But it will be 6 min music into 23 each side.

I guess you're right man. Besides, I was waiting for months to have in my hands my first released work. First, the covers took a really long time to be sent. Then Draugluin couldn't send me one song of his side. Finally I got everything, I cant wait for finding the most suitable tape. So, last night I made the first copies and I'm really happy. I put my personal touch on the tapes, hehe.

Like it's been said you decide which to do. I have split tapes with both bands on the same side, and split tapes where bands are divided. I'd suggest ordering specific lengths if you plan to put one band on each side. Having to fast forward to get to the beginning of side B on a 60, 90, or 120 minute tape for a 30 minute split worth of material is a pain in the ass when it can normally fit on a single side of a 60 minute tape.

Also congrats on your first release. I am currently looking for a first tape release as well for the summer.
