AUDIO Cassette with VHS tape (complete process)

Sound experiment where I used tape from VHS and wind it inside of an audio cassette. Than I recorded audio track on it and compared it with original.
Please give it a thumb and comment if you found this interesting, I have few other crazy ideas on sound processing and more.

You do realize your can record audio only using a HiFi stereo VHS deck? And yes, I realize this is an old thread. But I wanted to put it out there in the database. HiFi VHS decks had another set of spinning record/playback heads and recorded the audio using the same helical scanning process as the video. The combined speed of the VHS tape in SP mode plus the spinning recording heads creates a relative tape speed you can't find in any audio tape deck. Even using the LP or ELP recording modes you will still get a tape speed faster than the best (15 IPS) reel-to-reel decks ...and at the slower speeds you can record a *lot* of music on one VHS tape. The down side is you generally have no control of audio levels ...or a way to monitor them ...using the VCR itself; you'd have to use an external mixer (with level meters) to tweak the input line signals to the VCR. You also don't need to worry much about tape hiss with HiFi VCR audio because of the recording speed. VCR tape is going to be much more robust, physically, than audio tape simply because of the recording and playback process of the spinning helical recording heads; audio tape would wear out very quickly. To get the best recording on your video come audio tape, you'll need a 3-head cassette deck with an adjustable recording bias control ...usually if the deck has the adjustable bias it will have 3-heads (record, playback and erase) ...but you'll need to be able to real-time monitor the recording to set the tape bias and that's only gonna happen with a 3-head deck. For a test signal, you can use inter-station FM hiss. It's pretty close to white noise and works exceptionally well for tweaking the tape bias. To get the inter-station noise you need to turn off the "mute" switch on the FM tuner your using. Load a cassette into your machine, set the deck to monitor the input signal, set the record bias to the tape your using. For the VHS tape you'll have to experiment; I'm guessing "Chrome" or "Low Noise High Density". Feed the deck the "white noise" and adjust recording levels to 0VU. This process works best using headphones plugged directly into the cassette deck. Start recording the white noise on the cassette tape. Now switch between the input signal and recorded signal; ideally they should sound alike. Since you're dealing with an unknown tape formulation, try the different tape settings and go with the one with the closest sounding match. Then, tweak the bias knob one way or the other and monitor the change. The goal is to get the recorded "hiss" to sound like the input "hiss".

Hi, thanks for your extensive comment. I'll definitely use your tips when-ever I will get a hand on proper hardware, not sure if hifi vhs deck is possible to find in europe nowadays. This deck on the video is already dead unfortunately and new one I have is not a 3-head. I'll try to find a vhs recorder since I have a big stock of sealed vhs tapes that waiting to be used.

[@Mikado463]

@@blearmoon Try eBay. That's where you'll most likely find a nice HiFi VHS deck. As most of these VHS decks are now "white elephants" you can usually score a nice, high end VCR for pennies on the dollar. Just to clear up some possible misunderstanding: the 3-head deck I'm talking about is a *cassette* deck ...not a VCR.

[@bsimic29]

Well, Blear Moon couldn't have used much better cassette deck than Technics RS-AZ6. It is thought that this deck has best heads available on the market, with frequency response surpassing even Nakamichies. (The actual condition of this deck is unknown, though.) What B. Moon did wrong is putting Chromium/Metal (probably even better) grade tape into a Ferric type shell, consequence of which AZ6 deck used wrong settings. Furthermore, he probably did not try to calibrate the tape before recording (it is not shown in this video, at least). To make things worse, he used awful method of cutting the tape which most likely made the deck transport struggling to move the tape evenly over the heads. What B. Moon should have done is to find some way to cut the tape precisely and put the cassette into a Nakamichi (i.e. Dragon) deck, because Nakamichies have an option to manually select the tape type and manually adjust the BIAS/level settings in very wide range. I'm pretty sure that after some twiddling one could determine the closest cassette type and BIAS/level setting for this tape. It would be great to know which standard cassette is the closest to the video tape.

[@Mikado463]

@@bsimic29 Well, yeah, he could've used a much better deck. The AZ6 dates from the mid-90's and by that time digital was making inroads into the home recording market; development had shifted from analog to digital. The "6" had 3-heads and Dolby HX Pro ...but not much else. It was mostly made of plastic and what was metal were typically relatively thin metal stampings. Most truly high end machines will have multi-motor drives, a much more robust chassis and offer fine tuning of the recording tape bias. The "6" was priced @ ~$250 in '96 ...I have a Pioneer CT-F950 I purchased new in 1979 ...the beginning of the end of the era of fine home audio. The thing is a tank. 3-head, 3 motor transport with dual capstans. The face is made of 3/16" thick aluminum. It's recording specs, while not the utmost at the time, are quite worthy. It still records and sounds quite nice. The whole exercise of using VCR tape as cassette tape is interesting but, quite frankly, not worth the effort ...especially if you use a HiFi VCR as an audio tape deck. Since the tape formulation is unknown, and the deck has the factory set recording bias' for whatever formulations were used to set the bias', performance of the VCR tape would most likely be less than optimal.

[@BrainHurricanes]

@@blearmoon I used vhs tapes in a VCR for recording audio (from CD's that I lent) decades ago. It sounded rather good compared to cassette tapes. The only downside, it didn't fit in my walkman 😁

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

this is why i feel like VHS could make a comeback because the tape itself can be made from cassette tape new stock, the problem is the players themself because the VCR need that read head and the board of a VCR we can just use a FPGA for that and boom easily done and made.

매우 흥미로운 실험이었습니다. hi fi vhs에 대한 더욱 많은 정보가 있으면 좋겠습니다.

[@runepedersenDK]

Interesting experiment. You cut the VHS tape in the side, where the old style monosound is recorded. If it's a normal NTSC recording, the recording speed is 2.34 cm/s, and you are playing it back at 4.76 cm/s (approx. double speed) - the reason for the mouse chatter sound. The HiFi sound is recorded by heads on the rotating drum, and can not be played back by a stationary head maschine like a cassette player. It's FM modulated too.

[@Robert08010]

The HiFi tracks are digital and I believe are recorded by the video head.

[@runepedersenDK]

@@Robert08010 They are analogue, FM modulated, not digital - and the audio is recorded via separate audio-heads, placed on the rotating drum.

[@bsimic29]

And because of specific azimuth of video heads and their angled position relative to the VHS tape, I'd be surprised if you'd hear anything playing the video / HiFi audio portion of the video tape on ordinary cassette deck. It'd probably sound as playing the blank cassette.

[@thehighllama8101]

I grew up in the 80s and couldn't stand them. Perhaps if I had owned a cassette deck with dbx noise reduction, or if Dolby S had arrived sooner, cassettes would have been more tolerable. I did like Philips DCC format, though, which had CD comparable sound quality.

[@Mikexception]

I suspect there are three deficiences on that new tape - most important are audio drops which obviously result from not perfect touching head in audio deck . . They may be result of using margin side of video tape - it is part which is the most prone to any mechanical damage and dirt in vhs casette. Should be used new VHS tape but is was not the case, or provide wet washing for tape . Then the way of cutting - with using while cutting hard force for pressing on blade, the tiny layer of tape may be deformed at very edge. Technology should be using minimum force. Another problem is preventing even minimal oversizing of tape widith - any used casette deck has heads wear and this will prevent wider tape from full contact. If precize standard widith is hard to adjust t is better to make the widith less about 1/10 mm. For sure with presented way the widith could be increased by about 1/10mm (blade thickness plus hand unaccuracy ) Then we can discuss BIAS which is already perfectly provided in comments. If we expect excellent result fundamental problem may be also audio correction for chrome with formula may be different. Anyway it is exciting and I would go for it just by curiosity.

[@mrnmrn1]

You've put the tape in a type I shell, so the deck handles it as type one. Put it in a type II shell, it should be better that way.

[@blearmoon]

Yes I did, I have just one type-II cassette and i am not wiling to sacrifice it. When I will get a spare one and a way to better document this I will do a revision of that experiment with maybe more wide coverage of its potential and comparisons. since than I came up with few other pretty interesting experiments with what else can be done with tapes, but I haven't filmed it yet.

[@mrnmrn1]

@@blearmoon You can easily convert a type-I shell to type-II. Just snap off the covers of the windows next to the erase protection tabs. You can do it with a plier if you disassembe the cassette. You may also try BASF/EMTEC video tapes, they use pure chrome magnetic particles. The easiest way would be to use a deck with manual tape type selection, and manual bias level adjustment. This way you can try it with metal setting, or with chrome setting but the bias cranked all the way up.

@@mrnmrn1 Yes, just what I was thinking. VHS tapes are often made with chromium oxide, like type II tapes.

Since the vhs tapes almost are made of metal powder or evaporated metal technology, so it’s better to play on metal type 4 tape mode. But I saw you played in type 1 mode, so it may be the reason why the sound cracked. Just my opinion.

[@paulthepainter2366]

I just tried vhs tape on my 1/4" reel to reel yesterday. I thought I was doing something wrong. Thank you

[@Auberge79]

I did exactly opposite like 25 years ago. I had some reel-to-reel data tape, used at old telephone station as storage for "computer" and a VHS cassette with jammed tape. I had noticed that width of these tapes was similar so I winded tape from data reel to VHS reel and put it all into VHS cassette shell. No, it didn't work well. That tape was too bad for VHS, it was Fe (brown) btw. My VHS recorder only could record badly muffled sound and no video. :-)

[@guessundheit6494]

I was hoping for better quality. VHS is hi-fi. It's probably better to leave the VHS tapes as are and record on a VCR though RCA jacks.

[@montefullmer1120]

HiFi is an add on sound format to VhS . It uses separate heads on the scanner drum being it's uses FM as the carrier. The default sound for VHS is a linear analog track that runs on the bottom edge of the tape.

[@LPCLASSICAL]

hifi video recorders could produce outstanding results

[@kisulchik]

You should record something, like music, speech, and listen, what experiment did

[@befresh78]

You can also experiment with DAT or DDS-2 tape, it has the same width as normal cassette tape, so no need for cutting it. Just unscrew and spool the tape onto the cassette hubs and you're done! I tried this with a type IV shell, it has less bass and sounds brighter, but also a bit harsh compared to regular chrome tape.

[@blearmoon]

I have this in my plans for sure! I've already tried mini-dv - but with no results, so no video about that. But I already found out where I could buy some of that other kinds of tape

[@sc0or]

It has even the same length, but price is about a good metal cassette. And so a quality. So, it makes no sense.

[@Auberge79]

As for this experiment, you must get the quality sound, at least better than ordinary mono (not hi-fi stereo) VHS recorder can produce, because tape is moving around twice as fast as in VHS recorder.

[@TheGamingDinosaurRoblox]

so did it work or not

[@Kalvinjj]

Damn you should compose soundtracks for games like Silent Hill and Project Zero/Fatal Frame

[@Capturing-Memories]

VHS tape magnetic layer is too thin, it is not suitable for low frequency linear audio recording (Khz) at slower speed such as a cassette tape player, it gets saturated pretty quick, It was designed for high frequency (MHz) high speed using rotary helical scanning, that's why linear audio on VHS sucks, and HiFi stereo using the audio rotary heads modulated into high frequency sounds way better.

[@analog_music_lover]

This strange frequency response should be due to the coercive force index of the VHS tape is too high

[@haselu2002]

I think you can get more good in this experiment : VHS tape is CrO2 , so it may get more good in bias 70us, CrO2 . And you may place tape(you cut) into TYPE II casssette case , because this "smart " Technics deck cannot know tape's real material (Ferro or Chrome).

[@blearmoon]

[@wrestletube1]

@@blearmoon I wonder how the VHS would have worked if it was reversed inside out to the direction it was done on as a VHS? That idea would be a daft one to come out of the idea of a Type III where a Ferric and Chrome are either sticky back plastic or superglued together maybe even just both wheeled cheaply at the same time in the shell but that uses one back to another either way it was made as seen on a video where a BASF Type III fell apart. The idea that both sides might be recordable from the Type III thing but 1 side may work better than the other could be fun as well. A fun thing would be to try and cut a master sound quality reel to reel as they were made for audio but probably a different width again to a compact cassette. Or is that the same size and it's movie reel maybe I'm thinking. haha

I am guessing that this is happening because of the fact that is an old, close to 20y/o vhs witch was rerecorded who knows how many times, and tape itself seems much thinner than any audio tape and magnetic layer is probably not so stable because of that. I will sacrifice fresh mini-DV cassette next time - very very curious how it will sound

It was precise enough for the Eastern block reel to reel players, but when I tried playing these cut tapes in recent years on Revox B77 it got stuck very often - Swiss tape path is much more precise and unforgiving :D

[@montefullmer1120]

No. The two tapes are totally different. Audio cassettes uses iron based particles for its oxide and the particles are laid in direction of the tape. Video tape uses a colbalt based oxide that it's particles are laid perpendicular, or crosswise to the direction of the tape to align with angled tracks. Thus, VhS tape would sound lousy as an audio tape source...even the linear audio track on VhS tape is only passable.
