Using A Cassette Recorder As A Tape Delay (Marantz PMD-221)

An old three-head cassette recorder, along with just being a cool piece of technology, can find new use as a tape delay! It's not the most intuitive or straightforward method for creating an echo or delay effect, but it does have a nice, warm result. If you'd like to download Varispeed, the tape echo plugin that I mention in the video, you can find it here: www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=s...

Just found this marantz 221 at my uncles place, very cool seeing what you can do with it

[@jeff0566jsm]

Really cool sound Josh, actually sounds better than an actual Pedal that’s made to give that particular sound, (at least I thought so)

Hey.. I love these casio keyboards myself ... nice demo cheers!

[@dracul74]

I’ve watched a number of your vids over a period of time… you do a good job. Subbed.

[@SimpleHold]

Nice to hear delay done this way. It seemed appropriate to use a classic Casio, too.

[@JoshIsMakingMusic]

If I'm gonna go through the trouble of setting up all that stuff, I've gotta demo it with the single greatest synth ever created.

[@SimpleHold]

Move over, Moog! 😄

This is so interesting 🤔 when can I spend an afternoon having coffee next to that setup ? Haha I wanna talk casette 😲

[@JoshIsMakingMusic]

Hell yeah, coffee and cassette.

I've a PMD430 and never considered that I could use it as a reverb until now, cool! I'd also be tempted to use garbage tapes with damages to their surface for added realistic grunge and character.

gundam!!

[@kennynvake4hve584]

Sounds so 80ish...like in the old sci fi movies.....cool....

[@Doodsrsly]

Josh, totally random question but: did you upgrade your Prologue 8 to a 16 recently? I was watching a few videos back and thought homegirl looked thiccer. Awesome sounds as always, btw.

[@JoshIsMakingMusic]

Thanks! And I haven't upgraded, must just be the camera adding ten pounds. 😉

Huge videogame water level vibes, whats the model name on that Casio?
