Man , I'd love to work there.There is so much to learn about cassettes. Cassettes are so cool.Even in 2023 cassettes are still awesome to play and make mix tapes ! Cassettes need more love ❤️
J’ai travaillé chez polygram et c’était impressionant la vitesse des machines. Dommage qu’il n’y pas d’explications du proccess, je le connaissait très bien. Au contrôle,les cassettes était testées sur une Nakamichi série bx. Sinon merci d’avoir mi cette vidéo en ligne, il y en a très peu.
Impressionante, sempre quiz saber como são gravadas as fitas cassette , mas não imaginava que as máquinas era tão complexas! Em pleno 2023, ainda ouço as minhas fitas cassettes e gosto muito. Video muito explicativo, processo muito bom de se ver.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Rhett Ulises I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I would love to have a binloop setup for a tapematic system. I see you had the dual pancake setup working what is a first for me! The footage of the pancakes being recorded is amazing! Do you still have any of this equipment? I have been working on repairing a tapematic cr with a few acquired parts but have been having problems with consistent leader extraction, without a full service manual too so it has been an interesting experience so far!
The bin is only wide enough that he tape "stacks" itself. I worked 6 years for Electo Sound in the USA. We were the largest bin loop duplicator manufacturer in the world, Used by a major record labels. Vacuum??? nope. Gravity. Vacuum was only used as a part of a tension system to keep the tape on the playback heads.
Wow this is impressive. I would love to work somewhere like this. I have recently started collecting cassettes again, they are so cool. The speed that all the machinery works to manufacture cassettes is so impressive. Considering that the 2 sides of music on a cassette is nearly always of unequal playing time I wonder how the machine loading the tape into the cassettes knows where to cut the tape in the right place. I would love to find out.
@@beidup oh, okay. I always wondered what the strange humming sound was I've heard on cassette tapes and why it's there. Now I know. Thanks for the explanation 👍
Leader tape was part of the empty cassette shell manufacturing. The cassette reels have a detent in them and the leader is press fitted into this dentent with a piece of round plastic.
The Asona is a so called Loop Bin. As far as i know there is a single loop of tape that plays the entire album (left and right at the same time) over and over again and that is being recorded on those "pancakes" that are spinning right next to it.
It can be, but whatever source they are supplied with, if the destination format is cassette, that source has to be copied to either a half-inch or one-inch duplicating master tape, which then gets fed into the loop bin (in the Asona machine in this video) and then recorded onto the few slave machines loaded with 1/8" cassette tape.
It really depended. At that point there were still many places using analog loop bins. Digital loop bins were extraordinarily expensive (think of how much storage space raw PCM audio takes -- they had to have that much RAM to hold the whole thing. Not cheap in the 90s. Hard drives were not reliable enough). So analog duplicators had a place right up until the end of mass cassette production. Most major plants used digital but there were a LOT of smaller plants doing all sorts of non-music stuff as well.
Man, am I glad those days are over 😂 Nothing against vintage tech (still play records on a turntable), but there were no times in which the cassette did not suck. Walkman excluded maybe for a couple of occasions.
Как ты смеешь такое говорить про святой и кристально чистый аналог, на который все сейчас так старательно наяривают, ведь цифра мёртвая, а тут столько жизни и суеты )))
