[@thenakedandfamousS]

could you make a video on the third method (2:57) - it looks very interesting - but I can't quite figure out how you did it.. :)

[@thenakedandfamousS]

hmm..so i managed to reconstruct indeed. tried it out. the tape is running, but surprisingly the tape would stop instead of run in a loop. 🤔 i also had no sound, gonna try turn it around now, maybe thats because i confused the sides 😅

[@tworoundrobins]

@@thenakedandfamousS oh be sure you have a nice cut and that the tape is turned on the right side - the dull side should be on top and not the shiny side.

[@azathothwakesup]

I did this exactly and the entire loop plays at tripple speen

[@tworoundrobins]

huh, that seems very strange. I'm sure its more to do with the motor speed of your cassette player rather than the loop itself

[@dalkont222]

how do u record on a tape loop? everytime i try to there is like a one second gap if i want to record over the tape loop.

[@tworoundrobins]

Best is to use some masking tape covering the cassette hole where the erase head of the tape player makes contact with the magnetic tape

[@Lodit24]

I liked the video or whatever #freetapeloop (I seriously did tho lol)
