Recreate OldSchool Tape FX Using Cassettes (easy to follow)

@@heavymetalATC it connected the dots between many of the isolated crumbs of knowledge I had and added a lot of context to processes I thought I knew. Been looking at all my analog gear with fresh excitement and that's really cool cause equipment is better being used and loved instead of gathering dust in shelf purgatory. Thanks for the effort!

At first it was unintentional im just an old head its my style but I started to try to buy good cameras and start editing fancy and my viewers was like NAW boi.. dont do that. Keep the Vibe. SO I try to remember to not be too flashy n stuff and I use a 60s lense on my camera to keep it looking like that but hd. KZbin a trip..

Loved this. Combine education with comedy . . .a winning combo. As a Brit I particularly enjoyed your comic renditions of Lennon, Gabriel and Collins English accents. You made my day . . .oh and I learnt quite a lot too. I was born in the fifties in case you're interested. 😉

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment Arthur. Im glad you liked the impressions I had another guy from England say, Oh the impressions were terrible. LOL I guess if I had to say what I was doing wasnt actually a good impression of each person but mostly just a modified version of poking fun at my friend Craig from Essex. He sounds almost like Harry Potter Hahaha. After talking with me a lot. He has learned to do a Southern American accent Spot on. Like scary good, I would never know it wasn't authentic. Either way thanks again for the kind words and I am so happy that you enjoyed the video.

This is amazing, and I'm upset it doesn't have hundreds of thousands of views

Wow! thank you so much Attakai. I must admit I do wish it would have gone that big. The majority of the views are from the first day. I put quite a bit of time and effort into this one but the algorithm Robots are not very kind to a channel of this size.

sorry to break in. but the 4 track cassette recorder & the great sound that i get when i run my guiar thru the dedicated guitar only input jack. our host with the most & you both know why that happened. you referenced in above text & clem. said it. i was 12yrs old in 1980 when it seemed a lot of artist from most genre's were all on the same lyrical topic. not all the artist , though... one of my fav. bands was dealing with a band mate's death & was coming back to work in thier funeral clothes. and john anderson was clearly , but prolly not safe, was checking charlette's oil right there on the porch swing, and joan jett was composing love songs about her job.but these other guys were all into self pleasure. michael jackson was "beating it".. our not so Quiet riot rockers was banging thier heads. jagger & keith was shaking it up. john waite had to of been doing something he wrote his ex that he wasnt missing here. duran duran wrote, prolly later on, talking about edging. with the reflex. cindy lauper wasnt into headbanging.... so she just bop , bop , ohhhh, shebop. british bill idol, just listen to his record collection & dance with his self.. it was crazy. my mom had just moved us to the bottom half of our state closer to her sisters and mom. and i lived within range of a clear FM signal that was strong enough that it came in in stereo. our state bigges Rock station. but it was static'y and crackily like the south of the state needed to de-oxit thier pot.'s. i miss the rockers, tom petty, styx, floyd, kiss, uncle ted. the freaking eagles, paul rodgers and his company , i could still hear foreiner but they started playing love songs , and brian may was making great sounds every 5th song they released, areosmith had took a break or something, really. steve perry made a love song, who else, floyd had not put anything new, my young cousin was all into this one song that was great. but bocephus wasnt rocking then he was surving new york city & the mississippi river water level disappering. willie made millions & became ledgend with a song about his job & he loved it.. kida like joan did. i literally heard like from 50% of the songs from my home northward in 1979. were new release material. yeah i know we had the disco.. but naww. funkytown ??? the bee gees. that had groovey bass lines and the had the vocal harmony this down. then maurice is hitting the high "c" soprano notes. but .. naw. bob seger and his coors lite band great music. good for road trip until you take one down lower state and the year numbers on paper chart on wall & everyone took a break .. some made love song or two by themself. ohh. it was a shock. it changed quickly, malcolm and his small brother had another friend that could sing. and he could work with them , but be respectful. . and they came back and rock bands started showing up . british deaf predator cats brought on the heartache. the ratt's showed us how to lay it down & round and round. kevin bacon learned to dance as did the flashdancer . ole jackson boy got some more scarier songs and knocked a girl up or she just claimed he did but it still unknown. the eagles made it back from thier long run but they didnt hang out. so it was a good thing that they were a supergroup & smuggled some dirty laundry the rocky mountian way. and hey. we had the cars ! we had a group that i never heard in my life an dont care if i ever again do. thier singer really tries . just watch his neck tendons and he really tries... but all i can see in my mind is a boomstand for him trying to help an extra large loaf that had became un malleable. help it with vocal vibrations & i think it musta worked. his large colon would contract on time to emphasize key words .... i was (cramp) BOOOOORRRRNN . in the yus ahh. . yeah. this took way to long to tel why im a 80's fan motley, poison, jovi, twisted snider, tom kiefer, tesla, and on and on. zackwylde. helped oz into the new .aerosmith resurfaced. tom petty . scorpions, disco duck died, paul simon helped do much he had the world focus on a video game. and we all was glad to be lied to by madonna . 1st time my ass. lol hey im out gotta go. latter. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

That's very cool. I did something very similar with a mate's drum track and an old reel to reel recorder.

[@heavymetalATC]

Thanks again Rob. I find it funny that most of the vst pluggins we use in recording are actually emulations of things done on tape and from bouncing an audio track from tape to tape in different ways.

[@robguitarwizard]

@@heavymetalATC That's true. I started my music recording back in the late 80s and early 90s with TASCAM 4 tracks and the like. I still have my TASCAM 424 which is in excellent condition. BAck in the day we may have been limited by what we had in terms of sound quality and number of tracks - I remember having to bounce all my guitars down onto one track so the vocalist could use 2-3 tracks for harmonies. And we'd end up with these recordings of dubious quality (destructive in a sense because we couldn't go back) Now with digital DAWs and even hardware multi-tracks (i have a ZOOM r16) I find myself spoilt for choice, but only use about 4-6 tracks - mostly I just record a 'live' stereo jam. But it is great to still have my 4 track which I can put in the signal chain one way or another. I have also collected an array of tape players from reel to reel, mini recorders, shoebox recorders, etc. All this stuff is great fun -and really - better than just trying to emulate the same thing digitally. Its the process as much as the final result. Man, I have really enjoyed your videos and love the American (southern?) drawl - I'm coming at you from "ORS-TREELIA". Take care man and keep pumping out the sound!

I must admit I did expect this video to blow up I put the time in on it for sure and for the first day it did then it kinda went stagnant but one day out of nowhere the algorithm decided it was worthy and it started growing again and now I get to see all these awesome inspiring words from nice people such as yourself. Thanks again, I am glad you found the info to be of such value I appreciate it truly.

Damn I love this video! My old crappy, fluttery Sony Casette-Corder TCM-459V just made it down from the attic and was put to "good" use. Thank YOOOOOU :-D

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to write such a nice comment Kristian... That's my name too. Clemintine is just a "stage name" I'm so glad you were inspired to try some experiments after watching. Flutter is a great thing when blended into a track so It should be perfect for that. Thanks again.

[@schipbreukeling3]

The only video you need.

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much Robbert. That is an Awesome comment! This kinda kindness and interest just keeps me going. I am so glad you found the info useful and I hope it helps you in all your future projects. This video was slow to take off but out of nowhere it just started being seen and you guys have made my day over and over.

[@silasharris8031]

I would have paid for this. Well done

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much Silas. I really appreciate it. Im sure that your view and comment gained me about 3-5 cents so as far as I am concerned you did and thank you for your time. :)

[@polaris911]

brilliant advice, editing and graphics! I just got a tape recorder I'm gonna try this

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you Polaris, I'm glad you liked it and felt inspired to try some things out. Let me know how it went. Also if you have any issues or questions feel free to drop a comment. I'm apologize for the late response I had taken a break from YT but I'm back and ready to answer any questions you have. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and leaving such a kind comment.

[@jackstargazer5976]

You are fantastic!

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much Jack. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. This one took a while to get traction but all of the sudden one day the YT robot started putting it out and nice people like you just keep making my day. Thanks again.

[@jackstargazer5976]

@@heavymetalATC haha that’s so cool and you deserve it!

[@shinomorello]

Hey dude, this is an excellent material, very interesting and the way you show it’s pretty funny and effective to keep us learning

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much Shino. I appreciate your time and kind words.

[@davidreidy5750]

So glad I accidentally landed into this vid.Probably gonna watch it alot since I already have cassette tapes and shoebox recorder on the way.

[@heavymetalATC]

Awesome bro, I hope you were able to use these techniques to makes some killer music or at the least have a bit of fun.

[@suedelacy]

This was soooooooo informative and entertaining!

[@heavymetalATC]

Wow! thank you so much Suede. I hope you have been inspired to buy a tape deck or download some tape vsts. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment. Sorry it took so long to get back to you I took a break from youtube but I'm back fresh and ready to work.

[@barden6275]

Super cool! One little nitpick, though - that's technically parallel processing and not sidechain processing.

[@heavymetalATC]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment Barden. I suppose you are right. Its not like the first track is actually controlling the compression on the second. Well kinda since its the same source but not in real time so you are correct. Its not side chain processing. The guitar isn't controlling the drums or vice versa. Thank you for the correction and kind words. I guess I just had a brain fart on that one. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@takhian6130]

This is great. I've been messing with cassettes for a while now and I love the unpredictable effects you can get out of it that you just won't stumble across when sitting inside a DAW only. Can't wait to try out the manual flange technique!

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to write a comment Takhian. I hope you had fun with the techniques and got some awesome results.
