Reel-to-cassette, an experiment with tape recorders.

[DoReMiForever]

wow I have never seen anyone did this before!

[XRayCam]

You should look into recording "EVP" I think you will enjoy it.

It is recording GHOST voices....and is VERY REAL. I do it and you will be amazed. Maybe a little scared for the first few times when they say your name (they just know it...you don't need to tell them) you will get goose bumps :-) Have fun, and enjoy your recordings. You WILL need headphones because many times the voice is very week and mixed in with the hissing "white noise". Email me with any questions. Sony ICD-B7 (ebay).

[daspolemon]

Man, I really like your videos! This video get's an extra bonus for the wrench hack for the mode switch knob.

android talking tom the best app record voice using the talking cat

[LiviuJETIX]

What a mega junk apliances better use a pc or a mp 3 no offence

[CoolDudeClem]

@LiviuJETIX To you it may be "mega junk" but you can't do crazy things like this with MP3, don't get me wrong I listen to mp3's as well, but I'm a fan of tape too.

[LiviuJETIX]

@CoolDudeClem ia like too ta listen music on tapes and i was small im was recording my voice on a old cassette deck for fun

[LiviuJETIX]

@CoolDudeClem when i am was small i sen reel to reel tape recorders in a restorant in bucharest in 1995

[LiviuJETIX]

@CoolDudeClem what happend with the buttons of the tape recorder i see in this video you use a pliers to power on the reel to reel machine

[LiviuJETIX]

@CoolDudeClem I had an AKAI boombox it had tape deck and cd player and on the tape deck i see a record button but i can't record my voice or music on it how do i record my voice on that i don't have a microphone input it had headphones input

[LiviuJETIX]

@CoolDudeClem I like to record everything on cassette tape but i don't had a handheld tape recorder

[LiviuJETIX]

@CoolDudeClem wanna see my AKAI boombox i wil make a video with it

[debiani3866]

@CoolDudeClem and that is one of the reasons I dont use MP3, you cant play around with it like you can this mechanical equipment. Besides, that "mega junk" was built to last, unlike todays real mega junk..no offence :)

[monty78pig]

@LiviuJETIX Actually from a technical perspective, MP3 quality is worse than tape quality, idiot!

[LiviuJETIX]

what a old reel to reel tape recorder

[hadef777]

d u have another ezy this hard هههههههههههههه

[6452ss]

very bad recording

[btown2011]

And if you want to play cassette's on the reel to reel take the heads and guides from an old cassette deck and make a special reel to reel that use cassette tape.

[btown2011]

Are you using shielded cable? its looks like some 18-2 vacuum cord or something.

[PeterKuriakose]

LOL, wanker!

[PeterKuriakose]

HAHAHA! Your fantasies are hilarious!

A little light in the loafers too, eh?

What a sad, pathetic excuse of an existence, you are!

[PeterKuriakose]

You're, and not "your", Yankee!

[PeterKuriakose]

Only if you are talking to yourself, LOL!

[PeterKuriakose]

Here's a hint: A comma is missing in that sentence you used regarding shooting feet, to the effect that it vastly altered the meaning of what you intended to convey. A bonus point if you can find that error.

This instruction was delivered to you, free of charge. No need to rely on UrbanDictionary for basic language usage instruction. You may be poor, but certainly not THAT poor, LOL!

[PeterKuriakose]

HAHAHAHA!

Stock prices and forex rates are unrelated? BWAHAHAHA!

I suggest you take a decent Econ 101 course.

It'll benefit you immensely to graduate from earning monopoly money to getting the real thing, for a change. Give it a year, and you could at last move out of your momma's basement, LOL!

Oh, cute projections, by the way! ROFLMAO!!!

[PeterKuriakose]

Yea, right. Forex trader. I guess that's why you have the time to pore over your YouTube inbox every 20 seconds instead of tracking stock prices every half-interval of that frequency.

Oh, as for that sarcastic sentence you used to comment on the person in the video, everyone gets what you've implied.

6500 pounds, LOL! Continue projecting. Your hilarity doesn't seem to tire at all! How old are you? 12?

[PeterKuriakose]

Oh, joy!

Perhaps it would profit you immensely to concentrate less on the validity of slang in the modern vernacular, and more on punctuation, to get your ideas across with decent clarity, unlike how you conveyed the last sentence you used regarding stabbing someone's foot. I would go after such imbecilic bastards with a greater passion than I would, after someone using accepted slang. Following your own illogic, I guess you'd prefer to use "ampersand" instead of 'and'. Would you? Idiot.

[PeterKuriakose]

withing = within.

Now don't get sand in your snatch over that.

[PeterKuriakose]

Anyone who doesn't know the meaning of the word, 'prolly' has little credibility when claiming to be British.

[PeterKuriakose]

HAHAHA! You were the first one to pick on language, Genius!

Oh, and you seem to be able to follow up with replies to my comments withing minutes... what's the matter? Your "hot girlfriend" is on the rag? Wanking off all day to YouTube videos, I guess.

What a sad, wastefully pathetic existence you endure!

Good day, bitch!

[PeterKuriakose]

Isn't it funny to see mistakes that Americans often make, such as using 'your' instead of 'you're'?

Yankee blood, ay?

[PeterKuriakose]

Yea, we believe you, "Jim Bob", LOL!

Get a hold of yourself, man! You don't have to bolster your misplaced egos by projecting your fantasies onto them.

Your last sentence missed a question mark. Home-schooled, ay? By a drunken broad, no less!

Oh, and 'prolly' is British slang for 'probably'. I expected a numbskull such as yourself to figure that one out, but I was wrong, apparently.

Now go put some ice on it, bitch.

[PeterKuriakose]

I'm sure you lead an "interesting" life yourself, looking for videos like this to make dumbass comments like the one you made earlier.

You're prolly just trying to project your misery onto others. If I am right, I pity you, and hope you don't kill yourself over the fact that I can see through you.

[purctry985]

nice

[fretzombie]

Why... I can see why you like analog over digital. The recordings of an analog machine are physical, they are real. While as digital for all its clarity are just 1s and 0s. But I still prefer CDs over MP3s or tape cassettes any day.

[tribalmasters]

I laughed quite a bit when you played the cassette on the reel to reel!

[clydesight]

Oh, I also forgot. That tape recorder as a mike trick - way cool! I use a SONY Pressman microcassette unit, and I find it works perfectly as a mike but I DO have to put it into PAUSE. Otherwise, the unit picks up its own motor noise. The PAUSE is electric and shuts off the motor preventing the noise.

[CoolDudeClem]

Thanks for commenting and posting a reply, I did a similar experiment in one of my earlier videos. In "playing an ordinary tape on an old reel-to-reel tape recorder" I thread a cassette tape though another reel-to-reel I used to have. I'd forgotten that I used my little hand-held tape recorder as the mike, it also has an electric pause, but it doesn't seem to pick up much motor noise when the pause is off.

[clydesight]

HI, great video! I posted my Silly Silly Tape Recorder, Two Heads are better than one as a video response for you, if you will allow it. Yes, the bias difference will make a hum if you aren't careful! I thought it was fascinating how you got a cassette tape to work on a reel to reel! The tracks are not laid out the same on the two formats and the tape width is different. I didn't think it would work! Thanks for your video!

[CoolDudeClem]

This Reel-to-Reel NEEDS a new rec/play, does anybody know where I could get one? Or Does anybody here have one that would fit this machine? It's a sharp RD-707. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[CoolDudeClem]

I forgot to type in "head", it needs a new record/play head.

[CassetteMaster]

That was neat how you did the video! Interesting what the biases did, I didn't know it would do that. And I liked playing the cassette on a reel-to-reel!
