whats your fave multi track cassette recorder? what do you think of the tascam 246?

Had my CT scan today. Now I have to wait 2 1/2 weeks to see the surgeon. I am really hoping they can improve things for me.

I listened perfectly the typical background sound of the tape(hiss) in the keys and the bass, and in the final mix, difficult to listen but noticeable in the ambient and in the drums. Well for your kind of music is a good idea record into cassette because it brings a natural compression tot the hole mix that is very cool.

Neil young’s 1983 album “trans” used these effects extensively. He was always quite experimental.

You are the freaking bro. I’ve owned a Tascam Porta One, Two and TR505 for years and it’s like this channel was made for me 🙌

Ghetto blaster and a zoom H4 is all you need for this.

Finally! A great video demonstrating the possibilities of no input technique!! 🔥🔥

No input technique....

Wow, such an expressive performance giving so much depth to the piece. And the acoustics of the stairwell added a beautiful character. Very inspiring!

Thank you soooo much for this video! I've been to the audiologist today and we have the strong suspition that i might have otosclerosis since a looong Ass time now. I've been struggling with a tinnitus since round about 5 years and since of the beginning of this year i can't hear my alarm clock If i'm sleeping on the wrong side... It really sucks and i'm also quite scared of surgery but this gave me a bit of hope and i can relate so much! ☀️ Also i love that you've kept your stapes bone - if i go through with the surgery i'll definetly want to keep mine as well - i did the same with my wisdom teeth, love this kind of "weird" stuff, i mean... We live in a time where you can do crazy surgery on tiny little bones and people are good afterwards - just fascinating! Keeping that parts is a cool reminder of that. ✨😄

🔥🔥🔥 I can feel my brain re-wiring itself after listening to this stanky guitar on loop for the last five mins BTY, you tried the new Warm Audio WA19 mic? Sounds right up you street, from the demos i've heard / seen...

“keep your studio dry” and your drums 😎

MAN!! you make watching this video very confusing .TAPE, VINYL, were way much better, f*ck digital

Awesome stuff, congrats, greetings from brasil.

I could tell the tape takes because of the slight increase in volume and saturation.

Got a sub. Tape is the best

There's more useful info in this video than in my whole sound engineering degree

This channel is an absolute gem. I'm thinking about introducing some "analogue inefficiency" to my music creation process (I'm old enough to feel nostalgia for cassette tapes) but for some reason 4-track and 8-track recorders are near impossible to find in my country. However, there are plenty of tape decks on the used market, many of them with line inputs. Now, this will definitely be a lot more tedious than using a 4-track, but I'm thinking about either 1) Recording my parts (drum machine/guitar/synth) to tape deck and then feeding them back to the DAW before the final mix/master. 2) Feeding the mix to tape and back to DAW before master. I'll probably go with the first approach, because while less efficient (fortunately, I don't create 50+ track monster arrangements, but I'll still have to run like 4-12 tracks through tape for each song) it gives me more leeway in the mixing stage (which I'm less confident about). Any thoughts about using a comparatively "inefficient" tape deck instead of the Porta Two for hybrid DAW/Tape setup? Perhaps there's a video idea in it :) ? I know that in the US, home recording was pretty big in the 80s and 90s, so there are still plenty of 4-tracks lying around, but in some countries, that's not the case. Plus, a tape deck has a lower barrier to entry (I'd imagine even in the US 4-tracks are starting to get more expensive as people start to value them again), so picking one up for cheap and showing how it could be used in a music production process, could be a cool idea. In any case, thanks for cool videos and keep on rocking!

exactly the same TASCAM I used in the '80s!! But only 4 tracks!!! wow, what a big emotion!

Thank you for this video! I have severe hearing loss in my right ear that I was diagnosed with Otosclerosis. I figured something was off on my hearing when my headphones didn't sound right with stereo effect songs like Bohemian Rhapsody. The worst part is I convinced myself it was from loud noises and music and that I was lucky my left ear is not effected. This has strained my relationship, lost a lot enjoyment with music and video games, also made it difficult to do meetings, and just well make me feel old :) But this video is excellent! I feel a bit more at ease after watching the video. The other videos are a bit too extreme and hearing the journey from someone well feels a lot better. I'm getting the surgery in a few weeks and well can't wait to see if it helps.

So fun!

I bought a BBE maximizer plugin for StudioOne4 professional but it won't work, I use an Aphex plugin instead, but it is not the same...

You also have to take account for the type of tape. There is/was ferro: the cheapest and slightly muffled sound of which the frequency from 1 to 3kHz was more distinct, CrO2 or chromium with a broader recorded frequency spectrum, sounding fresher, and then there's Metal, that also had significantly more dynamic range, costs more but elas also took it's toll on the tapeheads.

505 was my first drum machine, bought it at the local pawn shop. It didn't come with the manual and at that time the Internet was not online. I learned how to program it myself with little frustration. I thought of it like a puzzle and I solved this one. This machine is fantastic!

good video as someone who is new to music production and doesnt have all the experience let alone money like all you guys do here so thankyou all for the help!🫶🏽

Maybe I'm wrong here but unless you have some sort of baddass on-demand analogue audio feed linked to UA-cam, both are digital.

Cassette has a more open and bigger sound, perhaps where all the frequencies can more easily live

Try AKG K553 MKII

amazing video :D

Very nice. Love the channel! What do you think about recording guitars with chorus in stereo? Any tips/tricks?

Sorry bro but I own Dolby Atmos studio with awesome spatial audio ..I've moved on

Hey! I have a 244, and am getting a pumping or wavering in gain/level on playback, seemingly more so on one channel. Is this a maintenance issue or something to do with dbx…? Also wondering if I have to erase the tape or can I just record over old takes? Thanks!

Back in the day, I stumbled upon a similar technique where I would bounce the 3 track through the auxiliary through an effects processor and into the forth track. That way I would avoid the muddiness of bouncing within the system. All the instruments would be more clean and clear sounding

Cassette 1 = overall balanced Cassette 2 = somewhat muffled veiled or seems like coming from afar Cassette 3 = kinda bright and cold sounding, easily fatiguing Listened from my phone speaker, i guess i will start buying the type 2 then haha, thanks

A is kinda balanced. B is a little bit muffled. C is crystal clear. So... A: 7.5 B: 3.75 C: DAW

Very interesting comparison. I actually heard no difference and my guess was only accurate once. :-)

thanks for making this video! I was threading mine wrong

This gives me Rick and Morty universal cable vibes

definately a good tip, thanks so much

This is too underrated, this cover made my day. I wish you all the fame in the world.

Brilliant! The way your rhythm section on normal tape sounds creates such fantastic space in the mix for those guitars and reverbs! It reminds me of a video I saw once of Noah "40" Shebib, Drake's primary producer for years. He said that he recorded most of the rhytm and backing parts in his productions using a lower sample rate to create space in the mix for Drake's voice. Really effective technique and pulling it off on a portastudio is really clever.

Im sorry is your dad one of the Blues Brothers? Either way youshould do a video dressed like that see your views go up

I freaked out when I heard them all

I had it twice and sold them for the same reason, it sounds like crap. It sounds like 8 bit in mono. It has no dynamics. It sounds like those very old Casio toy pianos from then 70s. The machine is amazing! the best machine ever, you can do everything and super easy to navigate but sounds horrible. Sounds like everything coming from a one inch speaker. You can tell in the video, that is how it sounds.

I have been recommending this for years. Type 1 are not terrible as you know/found out... i love using type 1 for texture and distortion as well as creating tape loops. Then can sample those and add them to a better type tape later to get some even more lofi vibes centered around the higher fidelity type ii or iv. I like using drums and lush synths on the type 1’s and bass and low end or Ill add drum overdubs to the type ii to get better highs. Fun stuff! Great video as always! Cheers

The tape sounded more airy and transparent compared to the digital recording in most cases.👍😉
