Just made my first tape loop from a cassette with the help of It's a crap loop in theory and doesn't work as it should, but that just makes it more interesting as it triggers sounds randomly. It's great. Hours of fun with about 15 mins of work involved. |

i did this once and i even recorded it but i somehow lost the recording on my hdd for christ sake. i recorded a drumloop which sounded much like the beat in parhelic triangle. |
||||||||
|

|
I'm going to post the track I'm making. Might zip it with the loops aswell. |

nice one. thanks for making this thread. now i'm obsessed with cutting up tapes :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have that cement stuff it says you need ;( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats very kool, sounds kinda like gescom stuff (keynell) what tape did you use for the process ? im reading the guide and still a little clustered: take a tape and remove a section, then reseal the tape and then reloop the tape in the case ? |
||||||||
|

futureimage>could you please make it about 10 minutes long, im tired of having to click "play" every 2:44 minutes thanks |

when iw as at the cash in teh attic auction they had an old panasonic reel to reel machine a bacolite one and i REALLY wnated ti. I would ahve bid but it was in a group lot and i dindt want the old radio and tv aswell i just wanted the reel to reel for loopings! :( |
||||||||

You don't need that at all. All my loops I've done without cement. Ok, they have been a bit shit, but who cares? Adds to the flavour :D Recycle, I'll make a little guide tonight when I have more time. I really didn't think you'd like the track. IMO the melodies are shit, but it's not supposed to demo my musical skills. The drums are made from slices of loops and sometimes whole loops cut on Ableton Live. The original sound source is mainly literally banging the tape player to get the tape unstuck. |

exellent! that works really well reminds me of Jarre's Eros Machine |

I love that track, aswell as La Cage. |

Groovy stuff, liking the delay. |

futureimage> right on mahn !! didnt think we would like it......? sounds awesome, but i also like KTPA and KTPA2 at times but your shite is 100X betta thatn those ona good day |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah I love the track, but how about posting just the original loops to see how they sound. I used to love fucking around with tapes before I got a PC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more textures + beats, less beats and fake funk please. that track didn't pass my subjective muster at all... pretty stale. Sounds like a less virtuosic sega genesis anthem with bad IDM drums. There actually weren't any discernible loops, only resequenced sounds of you putting in a cassette? Nice start to the thread, but the track doesn't really support it at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont understand what the track has to do with tape loops |
||||||||
|

I explained that it hasn't: "The drums are made from slices of loops and sometimes whole loops cut on Ableton Live." |

cool! |

man, first poor defenseless speak 'n spell's and now helpless cassette tapes. what's next? setting your beer on an inverted dvd? |
||||||||

i'll have to give this a try sometime. fun track, thanks. =] |

Well, there is Data Bending where you draw on CDs with gold markers, but the results sound crap to me. and it's illegal |
||||||||

I'm going to bring one of those reel-to-reel thingies at my grandmas place back to bergen this summer just to do something fun like this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, I'd love to know how that goes. We've got a Fostex at school and the guy who takes Sound Recording club is gonna get a spare reel of his friend to do some looping, etc. Mind, before you do anything with it, see if you can find a guide on how to attach tape to a reel. It sounds dead simple, but it's actually very confusing when you do it. But, if you're just using it for tape loops, you shouldn't need to do that. |

degeneration loops! part 27 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, I've played with it many a time, and attaching tapes to the reels is dead simple.. you take the white part with no information on it and pull it through a small hole, then hold on to it while the wheel thingie makes its first two rounds. I'm probably going to try working with some other materials, I don't want to ruin the tapes (classic awesome old blues on them). I bet paper covered with aluminum foil should get me some interesting results. if not, I will find something that does, and if need be I'll turn it into a van der graaf generator or whateverthefuckitscalled... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, yeah.. I don't want to copy his idea, but those loops are lovely! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder how the distortion sounds on these.. I may have to overwrite one of the reels with my music just to hear how it sounds if I use analogue saturation... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thier fucking ace! gotta do some tape deterioration! i wanta reel to reel |
||||||||
| Attached picture | |||||||||

|
|
what we need is a tape loop thats tapes what its playing so you getv a feedback effect! that shit rocks! and then over load the sound source for some huge NOISE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder what a reel-to-reel thingie makes of it if I put a normal cassette tape on it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are the scientist and tehse are the experiments for you to experiment with! i say run a magnet over parts of the tape and do all sorts of wierd thinsg to it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm probs gonna modify the cheap tape recorder I have so it has a mic input (instead of a permanent mic attached), an output, a wipe head switch (recording over shit makes it really lo-fi) and maybe a battery cut button so I can stop the recording instantly and then restart it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get an endless loop cassette. That'll do the trip. Or go the frippertronics route w/ two reels. Probably the best way. |
||||||||
|

Got back into this recently... just made a tape loop using VHS tape. On one side there's this weird drone thing (video signals -> audio = weirdness) and on the other there was nothing so I recorded over it (successfully). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've tried making tape loops for the reel-to-reel, but the tape somehow has to be fastened more; the head thing that reads the tapes put so much pressure on it that they just slide on the reels... I never found anything called rubber cement, so I tried different other solutions, but nothing works... any ideas? |
