I remember making albums like this in the 80s/90s, but with no computer. Recording to a 4 track cassette machine, duplicating on a twin cassette deck, and using Letraset transfers for the j-card! I miss those days, it makes me want to go and get a 4 track and do it again.

To cut back on the time taken in step 1 for mastering that took 13 hours: -Make 1 master tape -Buy a tape duplicator (around $200) -Record 3 tapes at a time, usually in half time (10 minutes/side in your case) -In some cases, you can find duplicators that will record both sides as well This takes away the headache of waiting around and worrying that every tape is being dubbed properly. Using one master and investing in the technology used back in this time frame reduces the overall tediousness of tapes

Pointers: - Recording manually will introduce wow and flutter - Tape head is not aligned with standard (old deck, needs to be calibrated before recording) - The higher end sounds muddy as the tape head needs to be demagnetized and a quick "this sounds good" EQ will sound weird when played back on a high end tape deck - The signal levels were way too hot for the tape - Portastudio is not suitable for mastering tape (too much proprietary EQ and speed), use a proper recorder deck - The final tape should utilize Dolby noise reduction (not available on the Portastudio as it uses DBX) Using a tape duplication service is highly recommended just to save time and sanity. : )

I was making mix tapes in the late 1990s when I was DJing using actual vinyl. Back when you had to have a sense of pitch control, know breaks, etc. No Serato, no programs doing the heavy lifting. If you wanted to make a really great mixtape you used a 4 track, etc. Piecing it together like this guy is doing. Lots of mental creativity components. The physical mixtape was something to be amazed because the cassette design of the cover, color of the cassette was a thing. I'm not taking away from how mixes, creating music is done today, because I'm learning that too, but try making music as someone in the 90s would and you will see how different it was.

Greetings MandelBro. Ive gotta tell you. Your recent videos about recording with the Tascam analog Porta-studio has really brought back memories for me. I love seeing your enthusiasm. The DIY approach is the best quality an artist can have. There are simply way too many musicians who cannot see the opportunities and advantages to doing things yourself. While YES, it is enormous amounts of work. But there is something about it that makes the final product a bit more sentimental. I have never allowed my lack of equipment, budget or tools prevent me from creating. I believe it is a quality that separates artists from musicians. True artists take what they have available and create. I love that many younger artists appreciate the earlier methods and technologies that some of us grew up with. While it is definitely a lower quality than what you might get from a full digital studio. There is indeed a nostalgia that comes with recording with minimum tools. I personally love it. Thank you for sparking my memories. I now find myself digging through my foot locker of memorabilia to locate my early recordings from the 80s and 90s. Would love to do a tune with you one of these days. Just name it. Best of luck. I play bass BTW. 36 years now. Still learning. Lol.

But i simply cannot stop thinking about it. Maybe i will write and produce some mono tracks and experiment with them. I really enjoyed this video. And those templates..wow.

What I did was when all the cassette tapes were on clearance on all the big box stores when they were phasing them out yeah, I went and bought gobs of them. 4 pack 5 pack type 2 cassettes. I will have enough for 18 lifetimes! I can't believe how much just one of those cost nowadays on the internet the type two. What's really weird is when I was looking for all of these way back in the stores I never found any metal tapes. I don't think they were actually as popular as the cro2 mainly because of the price back then. It just makes me happy to see younger people today doing old school. And actually working playing an instrument to make the tapes versus all computer stuff. Keep it up buddy and all you others out there!

Thank you so much for sharing! Right now I'm producing an alternative rock band and was thinking about suprising them with a limited edition of their upcoming EP on cassette. Thanks to your video, now I know all I need to know! :)

As someone who's done exactly this 4 or 5 different tape runs it definitely gets easier and you get into the groove of things, though waiting for the tapes to dub one at a time is still a pain. Totally worth it though! The handmade DIY feel of homemade tapes is way more personal and special to not only you, but to your customers. They can tell that a lot of love was put into it.

I love this. I used to have a 4 track machine. It was absolutely amazing.

I did tape recording before watching and was completely self-taught, this helped me get an idea on specifically how to use the inner flaps, I just used the 1 extra flap version for track listing and if there was another it was solely for track listing. Lyrics never occured to me till this. Thank you

Bro you just made amazing work when you tried to record your whole album on cassette tape! It's incredible. I think when you listen to tapes or vinyl you feel the music more concentrated and deeply !

This video is awesome. Cassettes is like time travel, so to give people some of them away, it’s like your giving them time machines!

Yo, i bought myself 50 tapes some time ago, and even Got a duplicator machine, but the duplicator was broke, so I was super excited to see your process, and it even Got me thinking about finally finishing my own tape. This was Hella inspirational, and I only know likeminded hip-hop dudes that are super into tape machinery, so this was a Nice switch-up to my idea of what tapes are used for in the 21st century. Mad respect coming your Way! ✌️

Love seeing the process. You’re not alone in your desire to see your stuff printed. It’s exhilarating. Great job you did. Folding is hard 😅. As me to the list of people wanting a tape. Thanks!

I wish you did something with the tape itself. Even if its just silver sharpie handwritten. But I also get the excitement of designing something and getting it printing. Bringing somethingnfrom the digital realm to the physical one is lots of fun

First demo I ever did was recorded on a reel to reel and released on tape back in 1995. That was the beginning of my musical journey with my band made up of classmates formed in 1990. 30 over years on we are still together although living in separate countries. It is so cool seeing a younger muso like yourself going the tape path. All the best for your musical adventures ahead. This is passion and perseverance at it's best . Good stuff . Hope i get to check out your future releases!

Slightly bummed the algorithm brought me the hours after the winners were announced, but it's still inspiring to see someone getting so hands-on with legacy technology. DIY4L son!

I'm not going to ask for one of those tapes (please can I have one of those tapes?!). Seriously, impressive work. I like how you took the time to optimise the EQ for tape. I suspect that you've ended up with a far better result than the bulk duplicators would have achieved by taking the time to do it yourself. I've been into cassette for years, its a very capable format, if done properly.
