Type 0 cassette tape gets destroyed.

[@bradswim]

I've never seen a channel swear so much when talking about tape, I fucking love it. subbed

[@Thanson199415]

Hahahah thanks, that’s how you know for sure that the tape is “fucking shit” 😂😂✌️

[@Musicradio77Network]

I remember these when they were sold at Walmart back in the 1990’s, now they’re selling ONN cassettes which is now sold under the Walmart name. I used one of the “Type 0” for recording Old Time Radio shows like “The Shadow”, “The Lone Ranger”, “The Green Hornet”, and more, and I keep them for collector’s purposes. I don’t break any of the “Type 0” tapes, I used them for fun.

[@Thanson199415]

I still have more of these cassettes, and I don't plan on destroying them. Just this one in particular was so bad in condition that I decided to have fun with it hahah

[@ivantashakov1178]

The onn cassette made my Black Sabbath sound like white sunday💀

[@thanthanasiszamp4707]

It happened to me once. I also remember a day I had to reverse the direction of the motor manually to unstuck the tape without damaging it.

[@daviddanser7801]

That tape looks like the cheap crappy tapes that walmart sold back in the day

[@Thanson199415]

My stereo is missing one of the plastic legs and I'm currently using the tape as a leg to level the radio so it don't rock on you when you press buttons

Suprisingly, walmart's (ONN) blank tapes arent as bad now.

[@Somebody_Different]

I have 3 tapes that are as bad as this, 2 of the are intersound (I believe) and the other one was audiostar (I think) pretty much the same thing, the sound is clipping, the tape is in perfect condition, but it's just built so cheaply. Edit: intersound i have mistaken, it was noblestar, although I have one intersound as well, also cheap, just not as bad.

[@clamanttomb2317]

I tried out a pre recorded Bruce Springseen tape from 1992 the other day and it had dropouts all the way through. When I took it out I realised the pressure pad had disintegrated onto the head and pinch roller, so I had to use a cleaning tape on my boombox. That tape later got put in the bin.

[@Thanson199415]

Jesus, I never heard of the pressure pad disintegrating into the mechanism, that cassette is straight junk lol 😂

[@stephentidwell2244]

That tape sounded horrible and I could easily tell just over my iPhone 12 Pro speakers

[@captianbubble]

This is the reason why I collect bias zero tapes! For experimenting! Works every time for special-effects! I called this, audio virtual roller coaster! Try recording over what happened. It’s even cooler! EDIT: You already did that! Just watch the video. I didn’t even comment on the video for a while. I just watched it. And yeah! Impressive! I have been making experimental tape experiment recordings sense 2008 or so. But, I have been doing tape experiments since literally 2004 just for fun!

[@australianbloke3934]

I thought I knew about most cassette tapes, having been a recording enthusiast since the early sixties. I still have two cassette recorders, a Nakamichi Dragon and a Nakamichi 582, but I only use the Dragon these days. Anyway, I have never heard of a Type 0 cassette tape. I remember I mostly used TDK SA, Memorex, That's, Sony, BASF. I still have a couple of "That's MRXP' still sealed in cellophane.

[@Thanson199415]

Honestly the Type 0 doesn’t technically exist, but there are cassettes which are manufactured poorly and the formulation process of the magnetic tape produces lack luster audio reproduction to the point where the cassettes get “called” a Type 0. For example, I actually have a Maxell Type 4 metal cassette that is metaphorically called a Type 0. Usually what you record onto Type 4 cassettes practically get mirrored right back towards you because of there excellent sound quality but because unfortunately this Maxell cassette that I own was stored in a very humid environment, the tape itself had a small amount of white mold but even that was all it took and the audio drops out and is very choppy on the high frequencies.

Than you for your clarification. @@Thanson199415

It sounds completely fine

[@Thanson199415]

At 8:13 is when the tape is being played I’m pushing a button that switches from the main audio source and the tape for comparison

[@couldntmixapotnoodle]

I have a decent tape that i honestly think this has happened to

[@Thanson199415]

You had a decent tape but it was broken down to "type 0" level?

[@couldntmixapotnoodle]

@@Thanson199415 no i think its bwwn looped around the pinch-roller and stretched really badly. It still plays but starts slowing down after 15-20 minutes.

[@zsombor_99]

@@Thanson199415 type 0 = "zero quality" 😶 Right?

[@Thanson199415]

@@zsombor_99 Yep, type 0 is slang for “bottom of the barrel” “complete trash”. Type 0’s are not actually manufactured only Type 1, Type 2, and Type 4. But when there are companies who produce very poor quality Type 1 cassettes, Type 0 term is used on those specific cassettes.
