[@humbertoguzman9669]

[@Gideondycus]

Yea I agree I’m REALLY late 😭

[@helluvakhai]

seriously mike, thanks for these videos. i'm applying everything i watched. and thank you Jason too!

[@424Recording]

Awesome, dude! That's what it's all about 🙌

[@danfsims]

This series has been brilliant mate - definitely going to try stuff out in the UK.

[@johngessner]

The scoring board is made by EK Tools Thanks for the great video. I am making my own cassettes for a vinyl documentary.

[@424Recording]

Very cool! Good luck!

[@littvay]

This is awesome. I am slow glad you didn’t let this footage go to waste.

[@424Recording]

Thanks, Levi. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Anne-bf2fb]

The stamps are awesome

[@AudioGuyBrian]

I do make my own music tapes. I get a NOS Type II Maxell XLIIS C-90 and record one vinyl album per side (From the same band) on my Nakamichi deck or my really nice 3 head JVC deck. Then I use my Photoshop template and make the J-Card for it. Sounds incredible, Looks incredible, and preserves the LP from unnecessary scratches from continually playing it.

[@Anne-bf2fb]

The reward is in the act of doing the thing.

[@MultitrackCassetteFans]

Wow Mike, this video has a very satisfying sense of progression to it, very relaxing, especially with the voice-overs and smooth motion of the hands

[@424Recording]

Thanks, Dennis! Definitely meant as more of a chill, documentary/podcast style vid. Glad you're digging it. Jason truly is the Bob Ross of the cassette world 🙌

[@hullo8D]

thank you for spreading, some beautiful knowledge.

[@guillaumealtamira7115]

that s perfect guys! thanks so much for showing and explaining us that process... i mean, most of the time,artists want to keep it deeply secret🕶

[@dbmorton1114]

Super cool video very well done! Inspiring to see the artisanal care and quality that goes into making the cassettes.

[@424Recording]

Thanks, db. This vid was very fun to make and was completely unplanned. Glad it came together! I don't know if you are on Instagram but you can follow Jason on there to see more of this sort of thing @paintedblonetapes

[@jasonelambeth]

Thanks so much for doing this Michael. It's really nice to have this as a document. I plan on boring the hell out of my grandchildren with this someday!

Great Video!! Very informative. I do have a question...don't the tapes come with the Tabs intact already? Because Jason was putting tape on the empty tab spaces. Every tape I ever bought always have the tabs in. Just wondering. I know this is a Great question!! Lol. Guess I don't get it about having to put tape where the tabs are suppose to be.

[@424Recording]

For some reason, the tapes you get from National Audio Company come with the tabs popped out, to prevent them from being recorded over. Which is kind of a silly reason because you can just put tape over the holes to record on/over them anyway. So when the tabs are out, if you put the tape into a deck, you won't be able to record onto the tape without covering the holes. You could pop out the tabs to a tape you've got and experiment! Thanks for watching, JPC. Glad you dug the video

[@jasonelambeth]

424 Recording I think it’s just one of life’s great mysteries. No idea why the tabs are gone.

[@ConveyTrex]

I would imagine that NAC normally produces cassette shells without the tabs since they are a high volume manufacturer for pre-recorded or finished cassettes, which would not normally have tabs to begin with.

[@TapeLifeMuziq]

Great series. I have a question regarding what type of ink you are using for the stamp. I’ve ordered a set of letter stamps and a custom logo stamp as well for my cassette shells. I’m wondering if there’s a specific type of ink that I need to order, or should the one that came with the stamps be okay. I just don’t want the printing to fade. Anyone who’s tried this, please chime in! Peace… ✌🏾

Que pintura utiliza para estampar los cassettes?

[@Mark_Williams300]

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone... Now there's a blast from the past. Can you guess what their musical weapon of choice was? 😃

[@sambana88]

After you stamp is the ink sensitive? Does it scratch off easily?

[@424Recording]

I believe it is resilient. Normal use shouldn't make it wear off

[@juannagacha950]

Hi. What kind of ink do you use to stamp on the cassette?

[@424Recording]

ColorBox Pigment Stamp Pads is what I'm using right now

[@CaptainCasual777]

where is he ordering these stamps from?

[@424Recording]

[@thousandoaksmall1995]

hey, this guy’s taking about my video i think. lol

[@424Recording]

I'll ask him, Thomas!

[@whiletr]

This video is not about tapes, it is about a polygraphy. 'Making tape' should be about magnetic layer deposition.

[@HAHb-zc2dp]

Tape duplication is so cheap why make them yourself and have worse sound?

[@augologo]

It's even cheaper to make them yourself

[@HAHb-zc2dp]

@@augologo mmmmm...the tape itself isn't, the quality will not be their either using home equipment and ink jet sticker labels...for like $5 more it's all done for you

[@augologo]

@@HAHb-zc2dp it's also fun to make them yourself

[@hqdefault]

There is no reason DIY taping would sound bad.

[@HAHb-zc2dp]

@@hqdefault you're very stupid.plese arn about mastering, generational copying and consumer grade tape decks with no proper noise reduction or other required elements. Yes,I runs recording studio as well as a vinyl and cassette duplication company. Please know that you literally said the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
