recording tracks to cassette tape is awesome. instant nostalgia. the 'noise' of the tape is just awesome, too. i feel it adds to beats, cools them down. |

Cassete has kinda compression effect that kicks ass! |
||||||||

I agree |

tapes rule, both VHS and cassette. DVDs suck. I seem to recall Ophecks is a tape fan too.. |
||||||||

|
what are you recording ? |
||||||||
|
|

u can make your own distortion effects by mucking around with cassette samples. its really fun. try rubbing the tape with magnets or microwaving the spool ! |

i have a prog im making some songs in and the un-registered version doesnt have a recording feature. and i dont have another PC to record audio to. so, i whipped out the sony walkman and recorded it for pure avail and i guess some posterity. |

microwaving the spool ! what!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, ive never tried that but if it doesnt completely melt it, it would sound cool. magnets work well, tried that. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Magneto plugin also works well, for tape saturation I mean... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wonder how it works out like that, it just gives it a saturation effect. i dont have any magnets lying around |
||||||||

|
apparently aphex uses chalk powder and hairdryers to coarsen/fuck up his cassette samples |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
why not use this for drums too : |

caseetes are brilliant, it's just a shame there is no real way of putting the sounds ytou have on them onto your pc through mp3 converters. ah, the good ol' days of mixtapes... |

Cassette tapes do sound wicked, no doubt about that. Really don't like VHS any more though, whoever said that they're better than DVD should have an eye test SHARPISH! |

oh, there ? |

Quality wise, I can't argue with you. DVDs are undeniably superior. However, for everyday usability and durability, I find that VHS tapes can't be beat. They are infinitely easier to record to, they're cheaper, and they don't get any damn scratches. One well-placed scratch on a DVD and the whole thing is fucked. Renting a DVD is hopeless, you might as well have keyed its underside before putting it into the machine. There was one time when some friends and I rented a movie and we couldn't watch the last five minutes of the film. Frustrated, I took it out and washed it two or three times. No luck. Then I remembered it was double sided. Flipped it over, and guess what.. scratched in the EXACT same place. At least wth VHS tapes you can fast forward past the corrupted portion or at the very least get enough out of it to know what's going on. DVDs are too reliant on the digital technology. So yeah, we never saw the end of 'Beetlejuice'.. haha. I still don't know what happens. |

:start sarcasm //too bad there's no real way of putting the sounds from vinyl onto your computer too. that's a problem now, isn't it. // :end sarcasm cassette tapes are the only thing i record my music on. i have mentioned this. i love cassettes. i need to get a new multi tracker soon, as i'm afraid the cassette recorders will be hard to come by. |

i can't afford cassettes too often, but i do like using my four-track... sometimes, i tape over shitty tapes (ie barbera streisand) i get for free. this is a good solution. |
||||||||

|
|
yes but you lose that distinctive cassette sound through conversion, surely? |
||||||||

no? : | LOGIC MAN, LOGIC |

why was I never told about one of these Plusdeck-PC Cassette Deck 2s?! I blame my zen garden for not showing me the path to enlightenment. Thank Buddah for xlt. |

i mite make the move to cassette mastering instead of mp3 bollox. cassettes are cool. |

I seriously want a tape recorder (or a dictaphone or somethin) that I can take apart and unwire the tape wiper so it doesn't wipe anything that's been previously recorded. It should give me some crazy shit results. |

i remember once i had KRIS KROSS - "JUMP" on a tape like as many times as it would fit both sides it was the best tape. |

me and my buddy cultfunkhero recently made an album where we actually recorded half an hour worth of live stuff on cassette, then cut parts out and put it into digital electronic recordings. it's fairly interesting. |
