IN DEPTH - ABOUT THE RECORDING:
1. I made four 4-Bar loops in Cubase - the bass line with the Korg Monopoly, the fast moving sequencer sounds with the Nord Rack 2X. Every loop and every track contains just one single note. The notes were A, C, E and again A for the bass line.
2. I recorded four brass notes and added an F - all done on a Siel Orchestra run through an Electro-Harmonix Smallstone Phaser.
3. In the end there were 8 loops for the 8 Tascam tracks (1 bass line, 3 sequencer sounds, 4 brass notes). I repeated the loops and made them about 12 minutes long.
4. I recorded the loops into the Tascam. The Tascam can only record 4 tracks at a time, so track 1-4 (the sequencer loops) are in sync and track 5-8 are sort of in sync, too. But that doesn't really matter, cause their're just drones.
5. I pressed "Play" on the Tascam. The rest is improvisation, drawing knobs and faders.

That is awesome! I have the 488 mkii and tried to make tape loops to play them using it but each timeI play any of the tape loops the Tscam stops after few seconds. And I guess it has a sensor that detect if any of the reals not rolling it stops because it plays the normal tapes normally. Any idea of how to make a working loop tape for it?

[@unterberglive7529]

I'm sorry, I don't know why your Tascam does not seem to work with tape loops. I can't test tape loops myself, cause my 488 is currently broken. But you may check out this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nna1ZKZng7Wllbc

[@carlosrizzi9783]

I'm currently having the same problem. Did you manage to solve it? I was adviced to use a rubber band on the spools for them to spin simultaneously but I've had little to no luck. I think the autostop function is new to the mkii.

[@JazzyFunkaHolic]

Im having the same problem. Carefully followed the tutorial, made multiple tapeloops and the tascam always stops after a short while, no sound too :/ If somebody found a solution, i would really love to keep my tascam and use it like the guy in the Video 😊 if its really because of mk2, is there a possibility to disable Autostop Feature? its just ruining my experience with that piece of gear

[@Max-mn1qn]

Sounds like swans

[@unterberglive7529]

You mean Swans, the band?

[@Max-mn1qn]

Andreas Meyer yeah the band

[@garkeinem]

Nice work. Really appreciate it!!! Does your 488 still work?

[@formatadre7600]

Thank you! No, the 488 is broken :(

[@garkeinem]

@@formatadre7600 oh nein.. hab selber den gleichen und muss gerade realisieren und mit ansehen wie diese Teile (leider) langsam aber sicher von der Zeit "verschlungen" werden

[@formatadre7600]

@@garkeinem Ja, ich glaube, ich hab's etwas mit dem Laufwerk übertrieben. Irgendwann fing es an zu stinken, dann war Schluss. Mache mir aber Hoffnung, dass ich das reparieren lassen kann.

[@garkeinem]

@@formatadre7600 Reparatur an sich ist eigentlich kein Problem. Hatte meinen letztens erst selber beim Fachmann. Alles super! Eng wird es allerdings bei Ersatzteilen. Spätestens beim Motor oder ähnlichen Teilen ist dann wirklich Schluss. Die bekommt man nicht mehr...

[@The-KP]

I want to make a thriller film just so I can license this track.

[@unterberglive7529]

[@deathbysonar]

What wizardly app are you using to the left of the screen?

[@unterberglive7529]

It's called "Plasma Sound".

[@deathbysonar]

Is that exclusive to androids?

[@unterberglive7529]

I can't tell ...

[@unterberglive7529]

Exclusive to humans ... :)
