Goin' Crazy with reel-to-reel audio

[NewSocialNetwork]

Awsome!

[Yessirman71]

For those analog audio enthusiasts, check out my video of a track taken directly from analog reel to reel that was transferred, then placed in a video here:

Enter:  L.A. Ryder as performed by P.J.

You'll ask: was it analog or digital???

[RAYGproductions]

[jvcforce]

Latin Rascals! New York master mix for New York radio in 80s, bootleg 12 inch records, etc. It is a lost art...

[Burnsie364]

Effort lol

[boitapower]

Yeah pure Jamaican Dubhead stylee!

King Tubby & Lee Perry were masters in this art.

Brian Eno used several B77 spread around a room with the tape running from one to the other with meters in between each machine!

Mental mechanical psycho genius

[AcadieNow]

gotta love that retro sound!!!!

[jihadacadien]

that's just crazzzzy!!! =)

[gadget609]

long live analog!!

[strong1235]

Analog editing lives! Thank GOD!!! Now, teach your children before the art is lost forever!!

Yeah, I'm old school. Made my first professional recording when I was 17. It was a tube fired Ampex!

[genevaslab]

I'm a 20 year old engineer and well want to learn how to use it, sonically I think it has so much more character than digital recording

[geecee3]

Wow!!!!!! That brings back memories big time! That's exactly how I did the "Bass Power" edits...cuttin' and splicin' and cuttin' and cuttin'...

Amazing!

[jaarex]

[xdmkii]

What song is that?

n/m I figured it out.

[Shacourd]

Mike cannon: goin crazy

[patricknedz]

I wish they still made those and sell them in the store

[alexriesenbeck]

Totally the coolest thing I've seen in while! Excellent work my friend.

[red2d2]

Wow thats some serious editing. I'd say its way more fun editing tape than in software.

[NTSC1080]

Stickers were cheating. Nothing like a fresh single-edge blade and a a ROLL of splicing tape. Cut a bunch of pieces and stick an edge on the head cover, lifting each by the blade as a positioning tool on your EditAll block. That and a china marker (grease pencil) and Let the Editing Begin. I beat a time trial against an Otari DDR-10, one of the first pro DAWs. Time, quality, accuracy all were better with physical edits and tape. But that was then.

[Meowbay]

Funny thing is, these came from a ROLL of splicing tape. You probably meant to write a roll of transparent duct or 3M office stuff or what have you. I have some audiotapes glued with that too, but let me assure you: The BASF PW 384 sticky tape's glue lasts way longer. It was especially tailormade for back-coated magnetic tapes like these.

Who needs an 'EditAll Block' if you only use two kinds? (one for diagonal, one for straight cuts of 1/4" tape)

[mysterymediacorp]

How the f*ck are you creating these mixes ?!Does the reel to reel act as a sampler? And how long does it take you to create,like a 5 minute mix ???

[Levsomslav]

It is not that difficult. Tape is a linear medium. You record the material on to the tape. Then you pick out the pieces you want and put them together. How long it takes to do a remix depends on how far you take it and the number of slices you make. If you are used to working with tape then you can make a mix in one day.

[Giammarcuzzu89]

WOW, I think i couldn't do that if i was born in that age, it had to be a very complicated work, however, great intro! ;) (sorry for my bad english... :P)

[raksu84]

hehe this almost sounds like max mix compilations :)

[aurolaca4500]

hi! very nice,i ll try it,too

[VideoJunkei]

Before digital,all edits were made like this? I will have to try that sometime...

[squidlyj]

awesome vid !

[AD4cap]

i think the level of precision that was reached in 80's tape editting is truly masterful. its really great to see the splices roll past the heads. thumbs up!

[CassetteMaster]

WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOWO! WO!OW !OWO! W!O WO! W That is TOO COOL! COOL SONG! And WOW! All those splices for the rapeating sounds!

[lz2k7]

yo Meowbay, r there any tutorials out there on how to do editing on reel to reels?, i've always wanted to learn that stuff, and yeah if i find a rr recorder :)

[tapewolf]

Look for the video 'Alchemists of sound' which explains how the BBC did their music this way in the 60s. If you look at my videos, I have one where I do a gap removal, which may be of interest. I never did this for a living so I'm probably doing dozens of things wrong :P

[lz2k7]

thanks man, heading to ur vids

[tapewolf]

Now that's what I call editing.

[crypticreign]

Is the white "sticker" tape from another reel (or does it tape-together the spliced tape?)

[Meowbay]

It's from a duct-roll (sort of) with EMTEC/BASF PW 384 stickers, each have that same length and one side of it is sticky (and intended for very long lasting glue on the backside of the pieces of tape one sticks together with it). I'll post a link to the product when I find it online..

[deedzremix]

jup. Zo goed dat ik 'm op mijn website gelinked heb. Heel fijn dit. Ik wacht af tot je met een tutorial komt. Ik kom anders wel met een camera langs ;-) Groeten,

Ddrck

[mastamove]

Props & thanx for this.

[KwK303]
