@@SleepingOrchard duude the self-doubt is a killer. I'm learning to just be okay with sucking though if that's what it takes to finish songs and put them out there. Cause what's the point with spending my life making music if im gonna doubt it at the finish line and not share it lol
@@macaroon147 that’s a great way to look at it! Also knowing things like even Jimi Hendrix didn’t like his own voice etc, helps. I think knowing your limitations is good too. I know my vocal range is like 5 notes 😂 so I stick to those 5 and try to make it work.
I dig it. You basically bought all the crap we were recording demos with in my teens, that was expensive back then, and we just had a 4 track.. You bought it for a deal, and made it work for you. Good for you man.. Back to basic. Authentic. Gives me hope for the future of music. AI and Software cannot compete with a real human soul.
😂 Yes that’s pretty much what I did. I can’t believe how cheap I got this tape machine, though they’ve gone up a LOT since then. I’m glad it can give you hope, and part of it is an active resistance to AI. I figured it’ll take longer for AI to replicate sloppy human home recordings 😂 (it may still get there one day though 😳)
I use old guitar pedals, open reel loops, diy analogue drone synths, old spoken word vinyl etc to build ambient soundscapes. Love the hands on feel. I've been getting rid of a lot of gear, love using a stripped down set up. It's very freeing.
The sheer creativity and beauty of simplicity. God, this is incredible. This exact vibe and message is what I strive for in my videos. Incredible work man.
Hey Will, this is an awesome rockumentary/mix video. Love how you’ve broken down your process and approach to recording. The quality and clarity in your song writing really shines through with the paired down arrangement too. Top stuff man! 🙌👌
Thank you very much! Testing a new video style out and had way more fun being relaxed about it haha. And I’m very grateful for your comments about the songwriting 🙏 😌
Hell yeah! This is fabulous. Love the sound of those tape machines. I had a 4 track tasam and it sounds fat and juicy. You’ve inspired me to do it again. Thank you. 👍
Very Nice. Yep. That is how we recorded music back in the 1900s. I remember this, because I am from the age of tape. Even with the noise floor, there is a warmth and dimension present on a taped recording.
Thanks! Yes I’ve noticed that it’s much easier to get a nicer sound on the tape because it rounds of the harshness nicely at the top. I can make digital sound similar-ish but it takes soooo much more work and a ton of plugins
Thank you! Are you happy with the project you did with it? I sometimes like what I do, sometimes hate it 😂. Really happy you liked the result of this one, thank you for watching!
@@SleepingOrchard Happy enough! I had to pull it up to refresh my memory. I'd been wanting to put together a retro tech TH-cam channel forever and I wanted to create a background music loop I could chop up and put behind certain sequences. It's just a two chord loop that I improvise and expand on for 5 minutes. I've still never made the channel, but when my friend asked me if I had anything he could use as hold music for business, that's what he's currently using. It does sound like hold music. 😅
One more fun tidbit is that since I didn't have any outboard FX, I decided to record it into the computer for FX and light editing, and then I recorded it (still multitrack) back to tape to give it even more saturation. I can't remember if I did the stereo mix on the unit itself or if I recorded the tracks back into the computer to mix and bounce but if I did it was just to set the levels and I tried not to touch much else.
That’s really kind of you to say, thank you! I got a bit lucky with the vocal sound, I’ve tried it since and it didn’t work so well for the new song lol
Great job. I grew up with a cassette multitrack and I'm never going back, but I respect that it holds an old-school fascination. The delay is wonderful and the £4 guitar is one hell of a find!
Beautiful song, beautiful process. Enjoyed every minute, but above all, enjoyed the song. Glad the algorithm worked in my favor again today. Just subscribed!
I made my entire last album on a Tascam 414 and this video is giving me such great memories of that process. Thanks for sharing this, man. Such a great tune as well.
just finished listening to labi siffres "crying, loving, laughing, lying" front to back and this feels very similar to me. so cool to see the process behind it and everything, love your stuff man
this was so beautiful to watch your process man. i learned so much just from that. you inspire me to give some time and space to experimenting with writing and singing since i feel pretty blocked off right now.. but glad to have found your page !!! mush love ❤️
That’s so good to read, thank you! Glad you learned something and the best way is to just give it a go and experiment! I felt blocked off too but then just kept trying it more and more and eventually I felt more comfortable with it. Much love back! ❤️ 🙏
I love this kind of basic recording. I would have chosen to not apply any echo effects until I was doing the mix-down to regular-speed cassette though.
@@darwinsaye that’s my normal process too, but decided to try it this way for a change and quite enjoyed it. Felt really risky though haha, totally coulda ruined it.

@@Tascam688 Yes! It was nice to have a clear goal, which I will try to continue with. Thank you for your kind words, and definitely don’t stop with your 688 too!
You’re very welcome, like yourself I get great pleasure in these machines and the simplicity. I’m going to try drums albeit maybe one mic one track, I’ve got a nice Sennheiser mic that I’ve had good results with in the past. Also electro piano hopefully. I sit and try and work out for the best if maybe two mics on drums for that stereo spread, guitars aren’t bad in mono are they? I’d like to hear your thoughts on drums mono or stereo. Again great listening to your arrangements. Incidentally where are you located? I’m midlands north Notts.
excellent work! love everything about it - and ultimately there's nothing simple about what you're doing - it obviously involves a huge amount of creative effort & talent. and that bontempi sounds magic
Very nice! A couple of bits of gear that you might consider would be a DI box, so you can have wet and dry vocals to mix, and a Zoom MS-70 CDR guitar pedal for adding unique sound effects. The Zoom pedal is not too expensive, and can give a very wide range of quality stereo effects for the money! Good luck on your car boot and marketplace finds! Keep up the good work and keep it simple!
Thank you! I will seek these items out! I did have a zoom multifx once and was really impressed by them. Would be very useful and fun to have more tools.
very cool breakdown of a back-to-basics analog sesh. on top of that your songcraft and sound are *very* pleasant. definitely scratches the psych-folk itch.
@@Jakeinator895 I turned both on last night, 1 of the units is in need of some work. The capstan motor is running way too fast and on channels 7 & 8 . If you record on 7 it erases channel 8, also when recording on channel 8 it erases channel 7 I had replaced the variable speed motor in 1 of them and the belt on both. I guess I’ll see if there is a repair center close by, in the states.
Every great recording always starts with a great song. It's the same with photographs.

@@rhondaleighmusic Ah that’s great to know, thank you! You’ll pick up recording quickly I’m sure, there’s lots of good tips online and it doesn’t need to be overly complicated 😃
Fantastic. This reminds me of the type of recording I was doing about 10 years ago on my Tascam 388 reel to reel. Have fun! The 688 is a beast. Beautiful.
It is! I feel bad for dismissing it ever since getting condenser mics. I prefer the results since starting to use it again! Thank you for subscribing 🙏

Thank you so much! Very kind 🙏 the no latency part is SO GOOD! No matter how powerful my computer gets, eventually latency becomes the enemy haha. And yes it’s nice without screens too. Thanks very much for watching!
I'm subscribing because this sounds absolutely lovely! I'd probably have done a sparsely pinged set of chimes periodically through the song, going through that Copicat as well, just for the vibes.🥰
Ahh yes chimes would have worked! I even thought about it at one point but the ones we have are in a different key to the song. I should write a song to the key of the chimes next time lol

@@SleepingOrchard Ahh, thank you. I've not been active on here lately. I ditched Spotify and streaming platforms once it would no longer mean I'd see any revenue. I'm on Bandcamp.

By the way bro it's so weird that your video came on my feed cause your name looked familiar and then I realised your song "the cabin" is in my liked songs on Spotify. That song is a classic.
@@CrayisUnsure I think that’s it! I do that a lot, tiny tweaks and adding little things just to avoid the dread of ACTUALLY FINISHING something for people to hear 😂. We need to be more ruthless in recording.
![เป็นไปได้ไหม - WanMai [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_6lZ6b3_7Vo/mqdefault.jpg)
I respect that you know when to stop. That's maybe one of the most difficult things to master and the main reason I struggle to finish my songs.
It’s the hardest bit! Especially when self-doubt creeps in about what you’ve already done…It’s a risk for sure!

AI art I can tolerate/accept to a degree, but I think AI should stay out of music.
They are tools, there's no bad if you don't use them bad
😂 Yes that’s pretty much what I did. I can’t believe how cheap I got this tape machine, though they’ve gone up a LOT since then. I’m glad it can give you hope, and part of it is an active resistance to AI. I figured it’ll take longer for AI to replicate sloppy human home recordings 😂 (it may still get there one day though 😳)

@@TobiasRobertson Ah I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for watching 😃
the guitar trick with the delay sounds phenomenal
Thank you! I’m happy you liked it 😃
so cool to see other people recording on tape in 2024 aswell!!!! the £4 guitar sounds beautiful
There’s many of us out there it seems!! And that is definitely the best £4 I ever spent 😂

Very reminiscent of Mazzy Star. And that's a very good thing.
Oh wow! That’s big praise! Thank you so much 😃 (sorry for late reply!)
Bro! This is so good. I love the vlog-vibe. Casey Neistat would be proud. 😂😂
@@rhynestoneproductions 😂😂😂 Classic TH-cam
You are literally a legend. Good stuff man! Also, those shots were beauotful in the beginning. What camera did you shoot that on?
@@VanBaylen That’s really kind of you!! Thank you! The camera at the beginning is a Fuji X-T20, the rest was on my iPhone lol
Nice track
@@mattbettinson4576 Thank you!
beautiful you should send out the instrumental, and see if anyone can sing to it and you can pick your favorite.
That’s a cool idea! They’d all sing it much better than me!! 😂
Cool j'ai bien aimé! La musique m'est bien sympathique aussi! 🙂
Merci beaucoup! C’est très gentil de votre part 🙏
Very nice. Subbed
@@Pamberjack_ Thank you! I hope to make more like this 😃
As soon as it started I picked up my Gretche and jammed along :P
@@KirkyDrums Ah cool! I hope my strange tuning wasn’t a problem 😂
@@SleepingOrchard The Gretche is always in E flat but when noodling around I found some tasty licks to mess around with Was fun . Cool video man
@@KirkyDrums I wish I could have heard it! I bet it sounded cool 😎👌🏻
Inspiring. Just spend way too long adding layers of bass over my recorded bass for no reason but to prolong finishing :')
@@CrayisUnsure I think that’s it! I do that a lot, tiny tweaks and adding little things just to avoid the dread of ACTUALLY FINISHING something for people to hear 😂. We need to be more ruthless in recording.
Could you do a video on recording with condenser mics
I can! I will do one soon. I did do one video earlier this year, “Recording a winter folk song on cassette” which is all condenser microphone.
