This shit hordd

@eyedress Wow I was just listening to your Vampire In Beverly Hills album like I need to do a song with this guy 🥲

it's called signal flow. doesn't take much knowledge to understand signal flow.. anyone can do it. you just need to take your time. audio is just electricity. you need to follow signal flow the same way you follow electrical flow.. it takes a little bit of problem solving and thought process and lots of patience. the worst thing you could do is rush through it and not pay attention to the ins and outs or plug in the old device that is damaged or damaging it yourself by not understanding what goes in and what goes out. I admit that this chap must have taken a bunch of time to ensure is vintage gear is properly functioning. the reel to reel recorder has more mechanical properties that would create audio artifact if it was running too slow or too fast.. has to be properly calibrated are you introduced things like flutter and a whole bunch of other crap I don't want to remember from the analog tape days. other than that, the microcosm I think would require a high z input maybe also output.. not sure if his other midi equip is sending a properly high impedance output.. that's about the only thing that would have me scratching my head.. but nothing the manual wouldn't sort out and a DI box wouldn't fix. but maybe it accepts a line levep signal. I don't know.. the rest is a piece of cake. you shouldn't dismiss your own ability simply because you're not familiar with the gear.. it's like sex. there's a hole for things to go IN and another hole in which other thing come OUT. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

@@nickloss2377 One of the best answers to any question ive ever seen :)

@@nickloss2377 Ok buddy

yeah the amazing feat of... hooking up a MIDI cable

⁠@@nickloss2377there’s no way you sat and typed all this bullshit

Hell yeah

came here for the ape escape commentssssssss 🐒

Watch ADAT become cracking in 5 years

@@jonmakesbeats not me stockpiling opcode gear for when the hipsters come swooping for 68k mac studios

I’m glad because I do too!

The beats are what it’s all about

He's a badass rapper, too. Buttery banggers fer days.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw it honestly

@@jonmakesbeats I couldn’t believe it when I saw mine, but for a much different reason… Let’s just say cleaning up the mud dauber wasp nests hiding on the circuit cards of it were the easiest part of getting it going… It is a pretty robust machine that definitely has a charm all its own, both in its sound and in its design. Looking forward to hearing your story about it and seeing how you end up using it. I think I can speak for most of your watchers in saying thank you for your transparency about your craft. It is authentic and’s a great model for other creators. Honestly, I would love to see more producers at your level putting their process out there in such a clean and digestible way. It’s beautiful, man…

To be fair a lot of ovens have a 160 degrees setting to keep food warm lol

Thanks for watching

Stumbling around in the dark tbh but it’s fun

I appreciate that, Zakk

Undeniably

No lie my pro refurbished TASCAM Portastudio 414 MKII arrives tomorrow and I’m legitimately stoked.

@@saggygnawI nearly swapped my 606 , 303 and a Fender P bass copy for one back in the day. So close but so far away.

I've just got an Tascam 246 for free. Had to open it up, clean it and renew some stuff. Now it is working and I'm so excited about it's potential! Can't wait for the tapemaschine-episode!!! The timing couldn't be better! 👌

Much love

Much love

Thanks, Christian

They’re unreasonable

@@jonmakesbeats very lol -- but MAN if it ain't the coolest thing ever

Tascam made... still makes they type of gear that goes chronically unappreciated until just before or long after they've quit making it. The model 12 made me regret holding onto my x32 for those extra 4 years when i discovered it.

They’re absurd for anyone at this point

@@jonmakesbeats At least you finish tracks ;) It's good that it belongs to someone who will put it to use.

But this is exactly it - it's like knitting a jumper versus buying one. The making of it is part of the satisfaction.

Thanks

TRIPPING ON THE FUCKING QUALITY!!!!!!

Bruh

Thanks Bob

Appreciate it

@@jonmakesbeats i appreciate the performance

Thank you

It’s a bucket list joint for me for sure
