Analog audio editing

[Powolny]

Delia Derbyshire approves this.

[molekulaTV]

You rock!

[exoterrestrial]

Wow! Must have been a hell of a job!

Great work!

(bought a Revox A77 and a Studer A80 a few weeks ago to go back to analog!)

Keep on turning those reels!

Exo.

[FreedomBeats]

[HypeRhymz]

who's the girl in the picture

[mxpassion17]

Good stuff man thanks for the upload, i use to dj back in the 80s in NY and the latin rascals were the first to get on radio and do editing /mixes like that , wish i had the know how to do editing back then. Your good man upload some actual tape splicing technics. Man i feel like buying a reel to reel now, thats if they sell them nowadays.LOL

[Obelisk2290]

thats my analog 2 track

[neomcblade]

i cant beleive you edited that with tape, it's so precise. people try for hours to make a sweet beat like that on a PC. i laugh at them, because of you. this probably took forever and sounds AMAZING.

[Obelisk2290]

thats the same 2 track i have

[mixmanbcn]

I just admire you, man!!!!!

Wow!!!

[judenihal]

Analog Fruity Loops! Wish I had that cassette player when I was into tape back in 1996.

[AiwaMail]

Wonderful

[hoodsplicer]

I always wondered how Mantronix did his mega-mixes. I never even thought about it being analog tape edits, I always assumed it was done digitally. That looks like a LOT of work!

[bigwillrosario]

I remember doing that..such a long process but fun as hell..Great post for the new heads that don't know how hard it was back in the day,this is true essence...

[MikeyJohny]

What a mad man!? ;-) He used his Tape-Recorder as an analog sampler. Great!!!

[HomemDeDeus]

Haja splicing aí!...

Só faltou colocar durex nessa fita aí!..

Mas ficou muito bom!..

[1LLosAngeles]

so dope.

[Kdnce]

Hell yeah dude!

[antonycals]

meowbay. muito bom os videos .parabens ...

[antonycals]

muito bom ,esses era os caras que fazia os melhores mix.

[iabhornc]

Great mix

[Privateer969]

Cool video, just like some of the other uploaded stuff from this member! Say, is that the Revox deck with the word 'L..L.L' written on the bottom and what's the picture of Sabrina doing on left tape reel...? :-)

[Meowbay]

Yes, it's that B77 indeed ;-)

The Sabrina pic originally was put on the reel holding yearmix 1987, in order to cause a smile on the face of the NOS technician mounting it for Radio 3 airplay. As things go with reels, their contents get mixed up a lot ;) pickup reels become feeders, they get turned upside down etc.

[elwoodgrain]

this is the best video on youtube

[lucaziopentagramma]

Bravissimo!!!

[figamarsa]

che pazienza!!!!

[Soundz1]

That looks like backcoated tape, it still plays fine to this day? Stunning work here!

[Meowbay]

Yep I'm as surprised about that as you are. At the time we all thought the glue on those white stickers would last 10 maybe 15 years at the most. Turns out it holds for at least 20 years, with no end in sight yet! I did store them dry and at room-temperature all those years, but nothing really special..

[Soundz1]

Hi Jules,

I recently did some restoration work on tapes like that full of splices that were done in 1983 and they still play fine too, quite surprising! The work you've done on this tape though is absolutely amazing!! I look forward to any other videos of this nature you put up in the future..it's also great showing people who've only worked on digital how complex and time consuming it was on analogue tape. Thanks again for putting this up, it's brilliant!

[edypro821]

superrrrrrrrrrrrr

[first40]

The Latin Rascals(Albert Cabrera, Tony Moran)

the greatest Djs, remixer, editors, producers ever!

I feel very blessed that i lived in NYC between 1984 and 1985. I have many of there classic radio mixes and they still blow me away. They pretty much pioneered freestyle music, producing cover girls, TKA, noel, nayobe, information society, and more.and did the editing of breaker's revenge...not arthur baker. go to deep house page website to listen to their early 80's mixshows.

[visualito]

Yes man

The best time for remixes

[dome744]

Oh My Godness! Thats just a hell of work, tell tell how you`ve taken for that... Its sounds pretty good too!!

[aquamarinedream]

amazing theres something id like to do with mine

[JuergensMashup]

This must be a hell of work! How long does it take to cut and splice all those fragments?

Really awesome

[jasonyoudj]

this is totally awesome!!!!!

[crypticreign]

How do you keep everything on time/on beat?

[Meowbay]

By using measuring scales and rulers. Mind you, this is work from 20 or more years back, so we don't do this anymore.

[LaddyDongdegs]

This is awesome. Pure art. My dad apparently did some of this, but doesn't have the tapes.

[Dschungelbummel]

The Latin Rascals always were THE heros to me. But I gots to say: respect!! For real!

Cheers from Hamburg!

c*sm!c

[Trance88]

Now thats what I call a mix!!!

[ricandevil]

This is the shizzznit

[CassetteMaster]

WWHHOOAA!!!!!!!!!!  TOO COOL! That would have taken FOREVER to splice all that!

[zulusounds]

very nice work!!!i love it.

please can you tell me the name of the song(melody)at 1.12 sec.where is it from...

thanks

[Meowbay]

Check the 'About this video' link at the right. It's not just one song at 1:12, but my guess is you mean Macho Mozart.

[wallshadow211]

Meowbay, only one word : Respect.

Don't know what to say.Just tell us the time necesary to make such a thing.

[1LoFi45]

How many hours of work just slid by my eyes... in less than 3 minutes?

[NotATube]

Nice work; there was a lot of pre-digital "sampling" done by tape editing during the 60s or thereabouts. Kind of ironic that the 80s style you've chosen to replicate would more likely have been originally made with the first wave of digital samplers, but it's cool all the same :-)

[Meowbay]

I think you misunderstand; We have not chosen to 'replicate' anything, this is the real thing. These ARE from the 80s. High enough quality sampling only got affordable around 1988. Few producers and remixers, like Trevor Horn, only had their fairlight around 1983, but this certainly wasn't anywhere close to normal at the time. Cutting tape was.

[deedzremix]

OMG Latin Rascals: eat your heart out. En ik wil niet weten hoe veel tijd je dit gekost heeft....... Nooit eerder gehoord trouwens: te extreem bevonden voor uitzending ? Grtz-Ddz

[Meowbay]

Als ik diep nadenk is dit wel uitgezonden, toen Radio 10 op kabel zat. Bij Ferry. De audio staat bij de link rechts van de video. Zoek in de mixfreaks list op "FUBAR"..

[technikfans]

Congratulation! Absolutley great cutting-work! Respect!
