Sad how the newer generations will never experience such things. Noiseless, feedback free, distortion free perfection is truly not perfect. It lacks the human touch of a spinning disc or tape.
I am a teenager and look back fondly on playing my Pet Shop Boys tape in my car stereo system, and I am looking into getting tapes and putting my songs I write, custom mixtapes, and my favorite albums onto blank cassettes.
@@disectormusicwhat do you plug this into? Like, which port? On the side of mine, it has a volume nob, a headphone jack, a microphone jack. And then there is one that says Dist next to it. I have no idea what that one is for.
When I was a kid, when we actually had to used cassettes, I discovered that you could talk or sing into headphones plugged into an input jack and they would act like a microphone.
I think that Mic input is just mono, so all recordings are just going to be in mono, not stereo (left + right) and will sound like a single speaker (not wide stereo sound) no matter what. Have to use a big tape recording deck to record left & right RCA to get a stereo recording, if that's what someone is looking for.
@@išsaugokkasetęs Well, you cannot "split" mono into stereo, you can only join mono to stereo, because stereo is separate left and right channels, whereas mono is the sound mixed of both left & right channels together, and it is impossible to separate. To record stereo music onto tape as stereo, the recorder needs to be a stereo recorder.
Quick question Does it convert everything into mono Or does it only record what's in mono, like mid/side, and only records mid If it converts everything to mono I'm fine with it cuz I can re transfer into my daw and stereo image etc.

I've been making mix tapes like this for years! I do it on my Sony xpod Boombox.It works great ! 👍 As long as you have aux ur always good to go.Keep cassettes Alive !!! Heck Yeah !!! Cassettes need more love.❤Great short video.🙂
Do you plug the aux into the microphone jack? Also. I have a jack on mine that say "Dist" next to it. And I have no idea what it's for. I've tried looking it up. But I have found no answers.
I just bought one from ebay for about $20 for the same purpose you are doing. I got a boom box trying to go all retro. Its a realistic brand from radio shack 1980. The guy says he tested it all functional. It’s amazing these capacitors have not leaked. I have a Atari junior 1986 and it also works. These things were made to last. At worst it possible to fix them.
I have a GPX tape recorder that I bought from the Salvation army for 1.99 and my Uncle told me that he could hear me playing Prince - Emancipation triple album on cassette way across the ENTIRE store. I just had to get it and I'd been looking for one for YEARS NOW.
@metromodernism Tip: Yes, but alternatively, you can manually wind past the leader until the tape is just past the middle foam piece, and then you don't even have to worry about guesstimating the 5-7 seconds.
Tapes can sound a lot better than this! For starters that's a type II tape in a type I designed recorder/player and it definitely sounds like the belt(s) need to be replaced due to the wow and flutter. Still, recording tapes is fun and rewarding, especially when you get it indistinguishable from the source with a proper cassette deck.
@@deeznutsmynamejeffnot really cassette decks are just more solid pieces of equipment and if you're looking into purchasing one I'd recommend a single deck recorder not a dual
@@deeznutsmynamejeff it's kind of like mobile gaming vs Pc gaming, compromises have to be made to fitit in a smaller package and as such the quality is lower.
@@deeznutsmynamejeffNo because it’s a mono recorder (and mono player). It will record only the left channel. You will have to switch the music playback to mono on your phone so you don’t lose specific sounds from a song that is being recorded (it combines left and right channels into one). But the recordings will sound flat just like in this video. You would also need to get the mono male to stereo female adapter to enjoy recorded songs with your stereo headphones(dual mono).
When I was a teen, I recorded some of my tapes off the air. The only bad part was the DJ talking through the intro. Otherwise, I recorded from records for the purpose of making the music portable, preserving the records, and playing in my car off the tape deck.
This is kinda deceiving because those shoebox tape recorders can only record in mono, no stereo. To record in stereo you need a special audio cable connected to your phone or digital device that has two outputs (left and right sound) and a compatible recorder that has two line-in ports to record in stereo.
Not sure, but the cassette in the video appears to be type 2 or 4. Better results will occur if type 1 is used.The voice activation feature on this unit can be used during line in recording too.
I have that exact tape player! I used to use it to record interviews. I haven't used it in years. I hoped it would be fine. It's not dead, but it's not working either.😢
Sounds really good. This today I was trying to make a mixed tape using aux but I have one of those ONN brand ones and the audio is terrible. Maybe I need to get one of these?
Thanks! Honestly, I can’t tell you what to buy. I’m not familiar with the ONN brand, but if the audio quality is poor you may need to buy a different recorder.
youre supposed to do this with type 1 tapes type 2 is much higher quality meant for layering different instruments and taking lots of mic signals and rewrites
I wouldn’t use one of these types of tape recorder for mixtapes. The shoebox type cassette recorders were meant for voice so it will not sound very good. They also only record in mono not stereo.
I dint have a cassete or a player yet , but i bought a aux , i went ti a place where its stuff from the 20s and 90s and saw a cassete , u cant but anything tho , just shiwcase
Pretty sure you won’t need to since the cable connected to your phone/PC/etc is acting like a headphone cable, but instead of going to the earbuds it goes into the recorder
To make recordings from your phone to a cassette do you need a new cassette without any songs already recorded or is it possible with a cassette with a song already recorded?
Ok so i have a Sony TC-110B tape recorder ,it has a LINE IN ,MIC ,REMOTE and MONITOR (for headphones) i tried to record on it from my phone using LINE IN and got nothing ,used the MONITOR but i basically got the song and me talking saying test test test (that was part of my testing ) in the recording.. Am I doing something wrong ? :( if anyone can help I'd really really appreciate it ! Thanks in advance ,Simba
Try the MIC line. Should be a 3.5mm jack into the MIC port and then plug into your phone either 3.5mm jack or lightning if it’s an iPhone. Then you need to make sure you have pressed play and rec on the tape recorder. Also you need to check the tape can be recorded
I’m no expert, but I’ve messed around with different volume levels. Different tapes. Made sure I was using the right input and cables. Pretty much guess work. Could also just be the recorder itself.
There’s just something wonderfully tactile about cassettes. I just love the clunk when you put them into the deck and close the lid.
I couldn’t say it better! 👍👍👍

you barely find Line-in jacks on portable recorders, back in the day , it really gave all the power to studios and publishers

Classic Music 80's
Absolute classic song
Awesome! I just got a recorder to record my old tapes to a WAV file but I may make one like this.
Wow and flutter go brrrrrrr
Eternamente bello!
Os anos 80/90 ficará eternizados para sempre na.memoria de quem viveu essa época mágica....e saudades de um tempo q ñ voltarás jamais....
WOW! This brought back so many good memories! I remember going for a run with my Sony walkman listening to my running tape
Excelent sound , i wanna create mixtapes too , i have a philips d6600 recorder
There is something so nice about watching the tape going round and round
Takes me back ❤

you should probably wait 5-7 seconds before you press play on your phone to get past the leader
Thanks for the tip
@metromodernism Tip: Yes, but alternatively, you can manually wind past the leader until the tape is just past the middle foam piece, and then you don't even have to worry about guesstimating the 5-7 seconds.
I've been doing this a lot lately since I found my mom's old cassette player and walkman, it truly is a lot of fun
Flashback in the mid December of 2022
Used to record songs off the radio with tapes
You gotta wait about 8 seconds for the leader to run through. But this is an easy way to make a mix tape for someone who just likes music!
Complimenti anche pper la radio..😊
I miss my old tapes and personal stereo. Listening to music on my phone may give me far superior sound but it's just not the same.
💆🏾♂️😌
I’m gonna go check out my cassette player now
This is amazing
I used to have this tape recorder like that.
I got around this by purchasing 10 copies of their albums on vinyl, to be precise 10 copies of 3 different albums

Interesting, I’ll keep that in mind for the my next mixtape. Thanks 🙏
If you have a perfect condition recorder and the types match up, would it sound as good as using a cassette deck?

Its a mono recording. Since these types of tape recorders were meant for voice recordings the sound quality won’t be very good.
I need that thing!
When I was a teen, I recorded some of my tapes off the air. The only bad part was the DJ talking through the intro. Otherwise, I recorded from records for the purpose of making the music portable, preserving the records, and playing in my car off the tape deck.

Your recorder is much better than mine, even though mine is still portable and has one track.

Giusto,quel registratore non e' compatibile con la type 2 e type 4,il tape selector non le supporta,contempla solo la type 1
The real mixtape mixers are the one who waits for the radio DJ to play those new songs and wait them to stop taking

It's cool to see this and the comments are funny but like bruh this is why cassette decks exist 💀
I have no (whatever my mic cord thing is) to headphone jack so I have to use a mic. When I get one im gonna have to re-record my 70 minute playlist
🤯
@@DuztinCruz technically it’s an album with 4 unreleased songs/scrapped songs at the end by the same artist but like it’s 70 minutes
Ooh nice!
We used to do this all day. Nothing special to me.
Thank u for this tip
You’re welcome ☺️
Some of the more modern cassette recorders allow you to tape from Iphone to recoder using Bluetooth mode .
I owned a few tape recorders like these over the years and never had any success making recordings using the auxilliary input .
Sounds really good. This today I was trying to make a mixed tape using aux but I have one of those ONN brand ones and the audio is terrible. Maybe I need to get one of these?
Thanks! Honestly, I can’t tell you what to buy. I’m not familiar with the ONN brand, but if the audio quality is poor you may need to buy a different recorder.
These are all crap. Get an old cassette deck from the 1980s or 1990s from Sony, Pioneer or similar
Adorei!
NICE!! Where can I buy that😁👍🏻

Holly shit. I'm trying to use a microcasette of phone messages recorder
youre supposed to do this with type 1 tapes type 2 is much higher quality meant for layering different instruments and taking lots of mic signals and rewrites
What audio port did you use in this video
People are late to the party! I've even recording like this for years !👍🏻
Started in the 80s
The problem is that some phones don't have the input or out post, saying is meaning to use bluetooth.
Did this back in the 80s😅
I have a Tyler type recorder and I wonder which one so I can record my own mixtapes
I wouldn’t use one of these types of tape recorder for mixtapes. The shoebox type cassette recorders were meant for voice so it will not sound very good. They also only record in mono not stereo.

I dint have a cassete or a player yet , but i bought a aux , i went ti a place where its stuff from the 20s and 90s and saw a cassete , u cant but anything tho , just shiwcase
Just remember the quality of the tape depends on the quality of the recorder
😎🎸🏆🥇👏👍🔥🔥🔥
That player sounds so good but its so expensive I can’t find a good price 😭
what cable did yo use?
Quê top
I do need to play the music out loud for it to record
Pretty sure you won’t need to since the cable connected to your phone/PC/etc is acting like a headphone cable, but instead of going to the earbuds it goes into the recorder
Which port did you connect it to? Was it the one labeled "aux"?
Yes
@@DuztinCruzI don’t have an aux port on mine, mine has ear, rem and mic
@@Ben.T0722 I would try the mic port and see if it works. I’m not sure if it will, but it wouldn’t hurt to try
Just to clarify you plug the jack onto the mic plug right not the headphone jack?
@@Unskie yes, “aux” input. Not the headphone jack.
@@DuztinCruz Thanks Man!
FUCK YES YES YES!!!!!!!
🚽🎥📷👍
No
where can I buy the thing that's plugs in the cassette and then the phone so I can record stuff ?
I was wondering what you plugged your jack into as for me it just records from the mic
Are the casette only able to record one song or can it be a mix of songs ?
It can be a mix. That’s where the term MixTape comes from 📼
If the collapse of civilization comes, I’ll know how to preserve music for free lol
Hi do you mind sharing which adaptor is being used? I see it’s two sided one port for the cassette player and another for the phone.
Male to male 3.5mm headphone jack
Great, can I record a Mixtape of 15 minutes in a row or more, or do I have to record song by song?
That came in handy because how to use the black mixed tape
what's that little cable used to connect the two devices with called? i'd love to try making a tape too!
3.5 mm male to male audio cable

To make recordings from your phone to a cassette do you need a new cassette without any songs already recorded or is it possible with a cassette with a song already recorded?
I’m sure you can record over songs that have been recorded before. You don’t necessarily need a new cassette
If it's a cassette with square holes in the top of it than no you cannot record over it
@@ii7236you can record over it if you cover the holes with transparent tape

Can you do that on a walkman to?
Could be possible but may depend on the model. If it has an aux input and a record button, it may work.
@@DuztinCruz ok Thank you 😊
Dude thank you. I have a question: This can be recorded in stereo or mono with the aux?. Sorry for my band english
I have not noticed if the tape recorder has been recording in mono, I’ll have to get back to you with that.
To record in stereo you need red/ white jacks inputs. This is mono only
Did it comes with Dolby noise reduction.
Where did you put the cord into the cassette player
Aux input
Did you record with the phone volume set to max?
Yes, the phone used to transfer to tape recorder was set to max at the time
@@DuztinCruz great, thanks!
