This might make sense if you've never heard "Born Loser" by DMX which was made in 1993 and he used a different voice. He was DMX before this guy met him as "Darkman X".
hey, i appreciate the comment and the watch. I’m not sure what you’re referring to, we didn’t talk about “Born Loser” in this video, and Superior has played with Earl since the late 80s. I’m just a vector for sharing cool stuff 🙏🏻
He's always been DMX. Originally DMX meant Divine Master Of The Unknown. He went under the name DMX The Great in the beginning, eventually he changed the meaning to Darkman X around 92. He may have went as Darkman X around yonkers n tht aswell. but he was always DMX since the 80s.
man, it's the least I can do, but Superior is the one who really has the history. I think the world will see more of it coming soon. and they should. I can't believe what i've seen and heard with Superior.
How can you get a cassette sound so clean. I bought a little cassette recorder off Amazon and if I run something through it the noise is un-real. Is this the recorders fault or the tape cassette
@@MadeOnTape It’s a cheap modern made one, only one I could find that is still being currently sold, name is Hamilton Buhl. I guess I should go after a good vintage brand like you got there
Owned a Porta 02 in the late 90s. Had a really basic GM sequencer on my PC, so used to feed a line out from my computer which had drums, bass, and synths into one track of the recorder, then use my Line 6 POD 2.0 to track guitars, and the final track was for vocals. No EQ at all. Just level balancing. It sounded rough, but as a songwriting tool to pass to band mates, it was ideal.
I immediately guessed the drums and bass sound because on tape the toms and bass were a little compressed sounding. The keys were interesting because the cassette added a bit more high mids
I listened perfectly the typical background sound of the tape(hiss) in the keys and the bass, and in the final mix, difficult to listen but noticeable in the ambient and in the drums. Well for your kind of music is a good idea record into cassette because it brings a natural compression tot the hole mix that is very cool.
Thank you soooo much for this video! I've been to the audiologist today and we have the strong suspition that i might have otosclerosis since a looong Ass time now. I've been struggling with a tinnitus since round about 5 years and since of the beginning of this year i can't hear my alarm clock If i'm sleeping on the wrong side... It really sucks and i'm also quite scared of surgery but this gave me a bit of hope and i can relate so much! ☀️ Also i love that you've kept your stapes bone - if i go through with the surgery i'll definetly want to keep mine as well - i did the same with my wisdom teeth, love this kind of "weird" stuff, i mean... We live in a time where you can do crazy surgery on tiny little bones and people are good afterwards - just fascinating! Keeping that parts is a cool reminder of that. ✨😄
🔥🔥🔥 I can feel my brain re-wiring itself after listening to this stanky guitar on loop for the last five mins BTY, you tried the new Warm Audio WA19 mic? Sounds right up you street, from the demos i've heard / seen...
This channel is an absolute gem. I'm thinking about introducing some "analogue inefficiency" to my music creation process (I'm old enough to feel nostalgia for cassette tapes) but for some reason 4-track and 8-track recorders are near impossible to find in my country. However, there are plenty of tape decks on the used market, many of them with line inputs. Now, this will definitely be a lot more tedious than using a 4-track, but I'm thinking about either 1) Recording my parts (drum machine/guitar/synth) to tape deck and then feeding them back to the DAW before the final mix/master. 2) Feeding the mix to tape and back to DAW before master. I'll probably go with the first approach, because while less efficient (fortunately, I don't create 50+ track monster arrangements, but I'll still have to run like 4-12 tracks through tape for each song) it gives me more leeway in the mixing stage (which I'm less confident about). Any thoughts about using a comparatively "inefficient" tape deck instead of the Porta Two for hybrid DAW/Tape setup? Perhaps there's a video idea in it :) ? I know that in the US, home recording was pretty big in the 80s and 90s, so there are still plenty of 4-tracks lying around, but in some countries, that's not the case. Plus, a tape deck has a lower barrier to entry (I'd imagine even in the US 4-tracks are starting to get more expensive as people start to value them again), so picking one up for cheap and showing how it could be used in a music production process, could be a cool idea. In any case, thanks for cool videos and keep on rocking!
Thank you for this video! I have severe hearing loss in my right ear that I was diagnosed with Otosclerosis. I figured something was off on my hearing when my headphones didn't sound right with stereo effect songs like Bohemian Rhapsody. The worst part is I convinced myself it was from loud noises and music and that I was lucky my left ear is not effected. This has strained my relationship, lost a lot enjoyment with music and video games, also made it difficult to do meetings, and just well make me feel old :) But this video is excellent! I feel a bit more at ease after watching the video. The other videos are a bit too extreme and hearing the journey from someone well feels a lot better. I'm getting the surgery in a few weeks and well can't wait to see if it helps.
@@MadeOnTape I love seeing people using old tech for audio. I have some vintage keyboards and drum machines, but have avoided getting back into tape. But I was crazy enough to fix up a vintage Sony MCI MXP-3036 recording console, and document it on my channel.
You also have to take account for the type of tape. There is/was ferro: the cheapest and slightly muffled sound of which the frequency from 1 to 3kHz was more distinct, CrO2 or chromium with a broader recorded frequency spectrum, sounding fresher, and then there's Metal, that also had significantly more dynamic range, costs more but elas also took it's toll on the tapeheads.
