Here's an mp3 of it

I love the sound of Tape through a 50 cent camera mic. Thats like trying to demonstrate an HD quality picture on a Cell Phone.

@Rizzy55

Not really the intention here, this was just shot for fun.

Never ever try to emulate the tape saturation effect with plug ins, to me it just sounds plain FAKE. And it's just worth it to get the real thing, I think.

@billeffbass

yes, you should record however you like. but this video was just shot for fun, not to represent the actual quality of the analog recording.

@robfisher1

Thanks!

@farsoh023 lol generic comment. the ironic thing is that a computer was used to capture this, and the effect was captured just fine, even at low quality. therefore you shouldn't 'stick to tape'. record onto tape then into your daw

[farsoh023]

No computers were used during the tracking or mixing of this. My best advise is if you want an analog sound, stick to tape.

Could I achieve the same effect with a hifi cassette recorder... with two tracks I guess?

Could I run the whole mix in it?

If I record in my DAW first, then in tape, and then record to the DAW from the tape, won't that just ruin my tape effect?
