I found an easy way to get perfect loops. I just record something onto the tape, and then time how long the loop is based on when it repeats. Then i use this beats-per-minute calculator (toolstud, can't link it), that does the math for what different tempos fit within that time. So for an 11 second loop, you can do 16 beats at 87 bpm, or 24 beats at 131 bpm etcetera. Then i'll just listen to a metronome at whichever bpm and play to it when laying down the first loop. Actually, since i can't monitor where i'm at on the tape, i just do all the subsequent layers to the same metronome and let them fall where they may. The results are surprising.

I just keep coming back here to listen to that funky speed up drum with the fx it's just so groovy

Everyone should write a song in 11/4 at least once in their life.

Nécessairement gééénial 😆Hi!👋Ma première K7 TASCAM fut une succession de tests quasi-inaudibles. Je ne comprenais rien au fonctionnement de l'appareil, je tâtonnais, tantôt j'enregistrais en speed normale, et puis le morceau d'après en high, ....et en plus j'enregistrais sur la piste A puis B??!! Vous imaginez? UN VRAI BORDEL 😶Un soir avant de dormir, j'ai mis mon casque et j'ai réécouté ce vieux vestige qui sonnait dans tous les sens et à toutes les vitesses dans mes oreilles lol=> Ça m'a inspiré une mélodie : ))) Et elle a mangé tout mon sommeil!! Voilà en partie ce que je voulais vous faire partager en découvrant votre ^tape^ La création inattendue est souvent anecdotique, et dans vos vidéos `purement` intemporelles c'est un monde à l'envers que vous remettez à l'endroit. Vous êtes vraiment doué pour ça! Et puis aussi, vous contribuez à perfectionner mon anglais! Je comprends mieux maintenant loll même si je vous écris encore en français^^ Bons Délires👍+++

Sounded so incredible when you rolled up the tape speed, just those pedals through the send and return already make it sound like a fully finished track alone!

[lbstrtelephone]

Can't fully explain how wonderful this is to me. Thank you

[theComaCalling]

That original groove you guys came up with is straight genius! Beautiful work guys!

[cstocker]

[MarcoAzevedo]

To me it is the perfect drum tone, 3 mics you get the sound bro👏👏👏

[wehappyfewmusic]

[BatteryOperated]

Great work as always!!
Thanks for the kind words!! ❤

[DavidTenenholtz]

amazing! I really liked the sounds created when you did the lofi EQ on track 1, and the double speed!

[Govier]

Man this sounds awesome! I especially love when you pushed it to double speed.

[statesofinertia]

love the sonic experimentations but also the video editing. Great stuff man 👊

[hhyoutubenoname]

You've been hitting it out of the park recently! Was listening through my phone speakers and it still sounded ace

[timdykes]

Nice! I dig the cassette tape. Used to do it on reel to reel . But cassette is way cool

[namestillpending]

Keep doing what you're doing man this is awesome!

[jayteelee]

This is absolutely crazy!! This is so inspirational and I appreciate all you share here! What’s the amount of recording time you have on that loop cassette?
