so.. I found an old reel-to-reel-ish thingie (see attachment) at my grandparents' place and I fixed it up (had to re-attach some belts and fix a connection thingie) and brought it back with me to bergen. It's awesome! The tapes are full of great old recordings and the sound you can get when you run stuff through it is golden! I ran the drums on this track through it, and the talking sample is from an old old old radio show that I found a recording of on one of the tapes. The guitar in the middle is courtesy of r40f, conqueror of the persian sea and scourge of orion! |

Gotta love the guitar break. <3 |

yeah, cred to the wonderful r40f! |

wow the drums sound almost real-ish. very fun track you got there. i dig the r40f guitar bit a lot. |
||||||||

thanks! I believe the real feel comes from the tape processing even though I have both the original drum pattern i did and the tape processed ones on at the same time through most of the song... I'm definately going to experiment more with this thing.. I've tried sending different synths through it and some come out sounding awesome while others just sound like lofi versions of themselves which can be good, but not necessarily what I'm going for. |

A good tune, how exactly did the tape machine come into it? |
||||||||
|

thanks! on this I just processed the drums through it (recorded drums onto a tape and played it back) and those vocal samples are from one of the tapes. I've been meaning to create a tape loop on it, but it's hard since the tape won't have any place to attach to the reel thingies and the place where it reads the tapes has a lot harder "grasp" than that of a normal tape recorder so I don't think the friction would pull the tape... |

haha it's great...recycle was right, it sounds very vintage. Yet more quirky brilliance. |

Very cool I found a similar one in my grandma's basement, but I was young and stupid and just dismantled it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
thanks! they're really easy to figure out; I know nothing about electronics, but I still got it from where the reels didn't even turn to fully operational! if you didn't explode it, you should be able to piece it back together... |

this sounds awesome hearing stuff like this makes me wanna ditch my idea of using a hard disk recorder |
||||||||

thanks! haha, I think you should stick with the hd recorder.. these tape reels are a bit old.. if you recorded an entire song to them, 10% would be lost in the process in the form of just plain gaps in the sound.. it's like instant "song-2-disintegration-loop." if I could get new reels and new tape heads, however... but that could quite possibly take away some of the charm/point. |

short version: they're good for effects like tape distortion and certain other lo-fi effects, but not something you'd want all your songs on. |

haha this is great! |

this is clearly a fake. drunken mastah would never just have an uncut amen break looping for a whole song.. sorry, but its a fake. that said, whoever did make this song has some nice skills : ) even tho im still trying to work the big connection between the cool old vintage box thingo and the song, both are worthy of 2 thumbs up and a possible smiley face................. : ) |

unabomber: yeah, I love it! me and my brother used to play with it a lot when we were kids, so every once in a while, there are small weird bits we unwittingly recorded... falito: hahaha, thanks! pigster: haha, I programmed the drums myself, and there are sublte variations (though not on the drumpattern I recorded onto the player unless you count the part where I did some delay fanciness). The connection with the box and song is that the drums in the background (the ones that start the song and that are playing when the guy is talking.. they're in the background the whole time except for a small part just after the guitar part) were recorded onto it and then I recorded them back for the song. Thanks, btw! |
