just "wrote" this to try to get a sound image on my tape. It was taken straight off the mixer to Reaper, that's it. Please nevermind the nonsensical words and everything else, I'm just trying to see what this tape gear sounds like. Seems very strange and temperamental. 1978 teac 80-8, 1978 Teac...

foul phil, I agree that it does sound 70s. If I try to record this to my Reaper the sound just isn't the same. stugort, I do like that zappa song by the way, roxy and elsewhere?? triple m, I have the same feeling for the bass. Direct is lousier than mic'd I've noticed. I've heard the best...

hey I was just in my studio the other night trying to come up with some song ideas. I tracked this through a 1978 Teac M15 board (1976 Univox Ec-80 tape echo at the effects loop), 1978 Teac 80-8 machine (with noise reducion), early '70s Scotch 203 1/2" tape. Then I sub-mixed the whole things to...

Taped this the other night. Testing out the equipment. 1978 Teac M15 board, 1978 Teac 80-8, early '70s Scotch 203 1/2" tape with Dx-8 noise reduction on each of the eight channels. The bass is a 60s violin bass into the board, acoustic is 1960s Goya T-16. Mic is always vintage '70s Shure 545L...

I could hear compression, pumping the mix, but I don't mind it. there was a time before I knew what the sound of compression even was. it's all smoke and mirrors I tell ya. I hate to say it but this song in particular calls for a just a little more width. I hate to say it but I think Two inch...

does she say "skyforest" in the chorus? what's the lyrics please?

the singer sounds pretty hot

the music is just a tad formulaic and predictable for me. but it's executed alright, and the mix is actually good enough to just demonstrate what you're trying to do. perfection has never been my thing so I don't dwell too much on the noise levels or EQ too much

Wow I could never get that sound out of my 424 MKIII in 2001 when I got it new. That sounds really good. Then I realized the mix was running through my '70s spring reverb (lol). When I muted the spring the mix sounded smaller, but still damn good. You're serious that's cassette? It's so low noise

nothing like the sound of real drums. I like the relaxed feel of it. I just am irritated by what the digital is going to those cymbals. I don't remember drums sounding like this in 1994 ish before computers took over

this has lots of potential. the writing is definitely on par with that old stuff, you'd be surprised how the gear they used back then translated their ideas. it's got like an old Motown feel about it. the horns are actually fine, I mean what I'm supposed to give here my opinion on the mix or how...

very soon this studio will not exist! selling lots due to a new portable lifestyle. but I will keep the essentials to get an old fashioned sound

Here is a photograph of where I "work"

Was getting bored/high last night so I slapped this together. http://psychedelicsound.yolasite.com/resources/EvenTheDesertWillBloom.mp3 It's an ALL '70s signal path! For the recording, the board was a 1978 Teac M15, tape machine a 1978 Teac 80-8 and the reel of tape is early 1970s Scotch 203...

lol. I got to attempt a very fun song "nice nice very nice" by Ambrosia (1975) and I swear I went through maybe 20 keyboard players, none of them could play the damn song. so i finally just plugged my hammond into my cassette deck and just played/record it myself. at least I don't have to drag a...

this is a very good idea and one that has crossed my mind a lot, but you have to understand my situation. I live in a van travelling town to town gig to gig, I can only travel with so much, the tracks i play to are in stereo....one '70s bass amp and '70s 15" bass speaker just for bass signal...

the melody and lyrics tell me two different stories. The melody, or song core which I like gives the impression you're going to hear a message about the darker things in life. but then the lyrics have a positive message which i don't like. i guess that's why I liked grunge so much, which this...

it is a tad bright. the acoustic distorts the same way acoustic guitar distorts on tape. it's a nice, humbling sound.

yeah same here?

this is pretty good writing. I even can appreciate the arrangement, I just think a less artificial more analog sound would win me over completely. I hate to keep referencing the 60s here, but they would have let the end keep repeating and fade out in an imperfect way (obviously some guys were...
