Good better best, and let it rest. Too good is better, And better best. I have been programmed. To do what? I dont know yet 😱 But in all seriousness, im very impressed and inspired! Great job! 😊

This is a very interesting build. However, I think we have all been programmed as Manchurian candidates, listening to the bed. Better best rhythm.

@analog_music_lover 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for tuning in! The 'Manchurian candidate' effect is just a special feature of my DIY echo-guaranteed to make any lullaby sound like a top-secret transmission. As for the rhythm, I'll keep working on it until it's 'better than the best'. 😄 Keep the feedback coming!"

This is so cool man! You did a fantastic job, Ive been wanting to make one but Im having trouble figuring out which wires coming from my tape heads go where! Awesome machine, thank you!

Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you like it. If you're having trouble with the wiring, maybe I can help. I'm thinking of making a tutorial on the wiring process-would that be useful to you? Let me know what specific issues you're running into, and I'll do my best to guide you. Keep on creating!

@codelicious6590 2 ай бұрын

@@analog_music_lover Most definitely. Since all I have are a handfull of heads I salvaged from old non-working tape decks, I have no idea -I had no idea so many wires came out of each one. I feel if I could figure out which wire goes to the input, output, control etc. that would give me personally a good feel for how to actually go about hooking them all up to work together as a machine.

This is excellent work. I really done want to be critical, but you mentioned in the comments about building another version. If you do, try putting all the controls on the front panel, accessible with the switches. This would allow for greater control as a performance tool. Like I said this is an excellent build. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Pretty great! This has a lot of potential. Curious as to what electronics were used to get the signal onto and back off the tape from the heads and how you set up the audio mixing. I like it. The guy from "Look Mum, No Computer would go wild with a DIY project like this. Good work!

Although not totally “aesthetic” the sound 1000% is a total vibe. And I congratulate you. Have you built anymore? Or have you thought about making one that “looks” as cool as it sounds?

To tell you the truth that the machine was homemade by me in China about a year ago, then I put it in my vintage collection room. Now I have been moved to Ithaca NY. I will stay here for 1 year. It would be way too difficult to mail it from China to Canada, as you know, only me could find where it is located in the vintage collection room.
