Tascam 464 - Juno 106 - Akai X7000 - Casio CZ101

Analogue Cassette 4 Track Tape, recorded 1993/94 still sounds amazing !!
TDK SA-X Chrome Tape is the key !
Instruments used: Roland Juno 106, Casio CZ101, Akai X7000, Boss DR550 MKII - sequenced on an Amiga 500 computer with Midi interface running Octamed software.

Originally recorded on a Vesta Fire MR10B 4 track, I've still got this machine it's just not working anymore :(

Hence the use of the Tascam 464 portastudio.... dual tape speed and DBX noise reduction.

@a280281 I had a 488 MK2, great machine:) Analogue tape is making a come back, sounds amazing :-)

@akadavar Makes you creative :)

Also, understand the track was recorded on magnetic tape, and when you start pushing the recording levels up a natural compression occurs anyway... and DBX noise reduction is in place.

@TROjAX Tascam is passed through an Alesis 3630 Comp. yeah :)

@TR0jAX You can record 4 tracks (up to 10 with "track bouncing" function). The display has lights for track 1 to 4 and two for the complete stereo signal (left and right). The additional mixer channels are for stereo signals that can be sent to the master output while playing back the four recorded tracks. Back then MIDI sequencers were synchronized to tape machines (with a Yamaha YMC10 or similar). So you didn't have to record synths and drum machines on tape (more free tracks for vocals etc.).

ive just started using a tascam 488 im so loving the sound of cassette recording its amazing

[ratface1987]

Cool music. Growing up using tape, it has a special appeal despite how much technology has advanced since then.

[akadavar]

It's hard to worki with this shit becouse you can record only 4 tracks simultaneously. Not much.

[akadavar]

I like the hoover sound.
