A Rather Interesting Prop in The Fall Of The House Of Usher #halloween

When I binged the Fall of the House of Usher, a new horror series on Netflix, something caught my eye: State Attorney C. Auguste Dupin employs a vintage dictaphone to document his interrogation of the enigmatic and twisted Billionaire Roderick Usher. The prop department chose one of my favorite dictaphones, the Sony Mic’n’ Micro M-100MC. This is one of the last microcassette recorders ever produced, and is now 27 years old. What could be the motivation to equip a character in a 2023 series with an ancient magnetic tape device? I make some educated guesses. Beware: there are SPOILERS! Happy Halloween!

I don't think I've seen a microphone before that ever looked this much like a camcorder

@Hainbach 8 месяцев назад

Agreed. It’s uncanny

@Nobody-hc2bo 8 месяцев назад

It’s gotta be a branding thing, right?

So fun to see a hainbach video about a piece of gear I already have

@seankeef9838 8 месяцев назад

I think it is also a great reflection on how long Lupin has been working towards this point, and how long he has been after Usher.

I did not know that I was interested in the make of the prop in that series, but here I am: liking a video about the very same prop.

Suh dude, and its good to have you back!

@MOONSIDESOUND 8 месяцев назад

I have one because of you Hainbach and I love mine! I have taken it many places and recorded tons with it!

@scarlettleaves9042 8 месяцев назад

Happy Halloween Hainbach ! I just finished the series myself and your video is an awesome follow up thanks !

@AlexBallMusic 8 месяцев назад

I've got an old Sony dictaphone in the loft somewhere, I should dig it out. It's definitely a very different experience, (and sound), as you explained.

@Hainbach 8 месяцев назад

Yeah they are lovely. I used to carry one with me always, but since I made all these apps I have turned to the phone instead

@georgewhite1972 8 месяцев назад

Great video. I binged the show over 2 days and I thought it was excellent. You are spot on. Dupin using the old school method of recording made perfect sense with his character.

@nigelprice4799 8 месяцев назад

I love the way your mind works, anything can be subject to your gaze, and everything on which you alight is worthy of our attention.....sauce of hainbach would surely fly of the shelves, well done as ever!

@matthewseymour8972 8 месяцев назад

I've just been shopping microcassette recorders as a Christmas present for my young nephew - he's a lover of obsolete technology - and I saw a few of these for sale. They were all too expensive for my needs - getting destroyed by a child.

@matthewchism3733 8 месяцев назад

Awesome to see gear out in the wild- I remember the first season of Loki, where a Korg Volca made a very conspicuous cameo and all the gear nerds did the Di Caprio pointing meme in real life. Also leaned into the retro-future vibe of the TVA.

@NathanWainwrightdotca 8 месяцев назад

Loved that show; binged it all over two sittings. But hearing you break down these points added something to it for me, wouldn’t mind more videos like this from you Hainbach, where you dig into other movies/shows. Thank you.

@Hainbach 8 месяцев назад

I am going to do morbid something strikes me as fun. Like the Nagra SN scene on the Wire

NGL - I thought this was a documentary about Usher getting cancelled or something when I saw it on my Netflix homepage. Had no idea it was a horror series 😂

@JogDog77 8 месяцев назад

oh hey i ordered one of these a week ago! super excited to try it out!

@curtishoffmann6956 8 месяцев назад

It still looks like it can walk on its own and spy on you.

@daemmerung 8 месяцев назад

Breath into the dictaphone, slow it down 500%, instant dark ambient XD

@0.G. 8 месяцев назад

Love it 😮

@pjfossum4378 8 месяцев назад

Having taken it apart to fix some wiring, I can say that the mic is not that huge, but rather, there are two small microphones as well as the speaker in the same capsule at the front of the device!

@Hainbach 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for clearing that up!

@pjfossum4378 8 месяцев назад

No problem :) Thanks for making the feature on this great device! @@Hainbach

@WastelandSurvival2 8 месяцев назад

I saw a film trailer the other day with a Nagra being used, with a hilarious (to me) error. They were using a DIN plug Uher mic with the nagra...

@Hainbach 8 месяцев назад

Ahahaha

@FUNKINETIK 8 месяцев назад

I’ve watched a couple of espionage movies recently where I spotted a Nagra, in one of the films (sorry can’t recall the title) the camera work was just focused on the machine, slowly panning across with close up views and showing how beautifully designed and built they were.

@PosyMusic 8 месяцев назад

I just bought one... it's in the mail as I write 😁 Didn't even know about the movie prop (neither that you were making this great video). But the design spoke to me (you know, like buuuuuuuyyy meeeeeehh...)

@kandigloss6438 8 месяцев назад

oh wow, I just finished watching your newest video right before watching this one, what a coincidence to find you in the comments, lol.

@driftliketokyo34ftw35 7 месяцев назад

Note to self: only use a tape recorder to interview hainbach

@Hainbach 7 месяцев назад

That is the way

@BlackburnBigdragon 8 месяцев назад

I used to sell those at Staples in the 90's. I really liked them and they weren't very expensive. I actually bought one for recording sound samples on the fly for my music. Sadly, I don't have it anymore. It broke and I could never get it running again. I remember them not being very popular. The people who needed these mini tape dictation devices tended to want smaller, easier to pocket devices. And also, when this was out, the digital dictation recorders were starting to come out as well.

@EleniEliades_ 8 месяцев назад

Now I'm too curious about how they've redone this Classic Book and Film which I remember reading then watching the Black and White Film! They did a great job back then [ don't remember the year was made...] Got to go experience new "Fall of the House of Usher " right NOW! Thanks Hainbach 😅...🕯🐾👁🐈‍⬛🌌🌛💥❗️

@h2o1969 8 месяцев назад

I very much enjoy the house of Usher. I appreciate your insight. It makes sense. I wish I was more conscious of these type of things.

@tapeexperiments 6 месяцев назад

Cassette. The only legitimate format.😅

@scholasticdeth 4 месяца назад

Looks awesome. But do you really think such device is more reliable than say an iPhone? I've got iphones for like 10 years and it never disappointed me (besides its weird approach to outputs). Anyway, I mean this device is old now and it can crash eventually, like my MiniDV Sony camcorder that I bought recently...

@symbiat0 8 месяцев назад

After watching the show last week, I also tried to find out what that device was but Google reverse image search failed for me. To me it looked like a camcorder without the cam 😂 Thank you for this video but I’m guessing the prices on eBay are gonna spike now 😞

@n.k.turley2496 8 месяцев назад

Grabbed one on ebay UK last night and had a choice of quite a few - this morning there weren't many left!

@mrotaveria 8 месяцев назад

I was confused when this device appeared, because it looks like a camcorder, but Dupin put it on the table and started recording. I can imagine many people puzzled by that.

@andycriest 6 месяцев назад

what about this: the tape is excellent evidence

@edgeeffect 8 месяцев назад

I always found that brief period when they made audio recorders look as much like camcorders as possible to be a bit... ... peculiar. Whenever I hear "House of Usher" my thoughts are far from the classic horror story, or it's retelling. My mind goes straight to track 2 on Stud!o K7's video compilation album 3Lux-2.

@Alchemetica 8 месяцев назад

Brand name placement?

@Hainbach 8 месяцев назад

Ah you mean they got brand deal with Sony! Unless there is some newer device they are promoting I don’t see that, as this unit is out of production for over a decade at least

@Alchemetica 8 месяцев назад

@@Hainbach Not product placement but brand name placement. I have not seen the work but if the recorder is looked upon as positive then one could argue it is a general promotion of Sony. I agree perhaps unlikely but they are devious in pay for plug in movies. Just the fact people are talking about the device could be the objective by Sony to reinforce their name. Then again I might be overthinking this matter.
