btw, anyone can recommend me a good tape sound & cheap cassette deck? plz!!
cheap cassette deck might give you unwanted results. First of all, new cassette tapes are increasingly hard to find, especially, for high bias tape, type II (chrome tape) and type III (metal tape), are very hard to find and expensive now (as far as I know, high bias tapes are no longer manufactured anywhere.) So if you have unused high-biased cassette tapes, you should hold on, or sell it on ebay, LOL!
Also using cassette adds wow and flutter on your production, which most likely you don't want.
Personally, I don't miss cassette sound, as I'm old enough to remember how underwhelming cassette sounded in general.
I think you should also consider:
1. Use high-quality DI box, like Radial ProD2 Passive Direct Box. Passive DI box should eliminate nasty clips on audio signal, and it can saturate audio signal too.
(I've never tried it though, I cannot afford it yet. Not resale value of good DI box is high.)
2. I use my old Numark DJ mixer's build-in 7-band EQ (back when they were manufactured in Japan), to get that punchy lo-fi sound. (By the way, I posted the repair process on MPC Forums, check it out, if you are interested.)
I used it on this video (shameless plug)
