protip: when rewinding on these old tascams (or any tape machine really) use the tape lifter to keep the tape off the heads. leave the scrubbing for when you really need to scrub the audio. (source: i owned & used multiple of these things in the 80s & early 90s incl an otari 1” 16 tk, studer a800 etc ). IIRC on those things you have to go to stop then rewind and will use the tape lifter.
I’m going to spend the entire duration of this video anxiously watching the Space Echo perilously perched on top of everything else in that stack of gear…
This is the exact tape machine I'm using for a mostly modular IDM/Ambient album I am making and posting on my page! I like using it to blow out drum sounds and get nice tape distortion/saturation when its in the red. I got that machine for $150 off of craigslist like 5 years ago and the dude gave me a HUUUUGE box of old reels as well with tons of mystery material on them. It has become indispensable for me.
I used to have a Tascam 424 cassette recorder, and I loved playing with the tape speed. It's surprising how hard it is to get the same effects in digital!
Bordsteinkante is super epic. This horn sound hold in the refrain is just too sick in completing the feeling. It’s straight amazing how creative you guys are, wholistic merging all conditions to music that vibes!
precious moments of pure creativity cannot be bought they cannot be packaged they cannot be predicted. you two have had several electrifying sessions together recently and this is a blessing for us, your admiring public. music is medicine for some and this EP is a cure indeed. thank you for blessing us with your skills, experience, talent and a sprinkle of serendipity. in return may the winds of creativity always blow on you two in force and in joy.
Damn, dude. That drum beat around 9:30 is so close to the Head Like a Hole beat. That's a gnarly machine, love that tone. This whole project was amazing. Great work and props to you both. Love both of your work and have been a fan for years!
Man, you can play with slowing things down digitally all you want, and it does sound cool. But doing it with tape is just...something different and so much nicer. Darker. Warmer.
Thanks to you both. This inspires me, even if I might have to leave home if I brought a big reel-to-reel machine into my apartment. I love the sound of tape processing, but illness and space has kept me from immersing myself in the actual gear required for the manipulation for my own music. Still, in my stronger moments I start thinking I should do it. At minimum, this video gives a push that may show up in my work in other ways.
I really enjoyed the sound of the double-time drums. It had an energy to them! I'll have to play with that on Gauss :) Absolutely loved this video - it was a lot of fun seeing you and Sam playing together, and this definitely feels like a real collaboration: something neither of you would have really come up with on your own, but all the better because it's from both of you. Loved it!
My time with this is why I love the OP-1! "Back in the day" (late 1980s) I bought one of these and a DBX noise reduction module to improve on the quality of what my band was getting from our Fostex cassette 4-track. This thing was great! Maybe 20 years ago I donated the whole kit to Goodwill. I had a DAW and thought I would never use it again. I appreciate modern tech and don't miss it, lol. Thank you for a fun video!
You two have real chemistry! The speed change songs is definitely a great idea, and Teac makes it sound good. I used to use my Teac in the very same manner, but i lacked varispeed. It was either 7.5 ips or 15 ips, but i still used the technique of recording something at high speed, and then running it at slow speed and adding more layers to it, trying to get low frequency drones and tones that i would otherwise had no access to in the late 1990s when i played with the Teac tape machine. The real fun, if you can get the time, is to do your own "frippertronics" by ganging up 2 of the tape machines like in the diagram found in the Eno album Discreet Music. I have done a few of these tape experiments and each of which without a mixer at the time. However, with delay pedals that can easily do the same thing, it's not going to be too much different, but of course, it will be a tape thing so it'll have that tape sound, with all the grunge that occurs when messing with it. Keep on the exciting creativity! Cheers!
i have no idea on how to make music but i‘m thrilled on seeing you guys fiddeling around and creating such nice things. you both work nice together, lovely stuff!
I've always loved pitching stuff up and down and layering things at different speeds. I learned from the Beatles. Tracks like Yellow Submarine were recorded and then pitched down afterwards. Rain (the backing track) was played at a blistering speed and then pitched down afterwards and it's why Ringo's drums sound so full on that record.
This sound took me to the early Human League or even Joy Division sessions or early Kraftwerk times. Thank you for this experimental show, good songs and lots of fun with hands on the music 🙂
Back in the early 80's, this exactly what we did. We recorded a Bass line to a half tempo click, then played it back at full tempo, giving us a really clicky guitar effect, which we doubled with bass . Not enough of this happens these days despite the tools available.
...awesome Lofi stuff you two delievered there , Stefan and Sam ! I´m glad Nick pointed us here this afternoon !! I just noticed that the white/green pullover matches perfectly the colorsceme of the Space Echo 🤩
Love it! Was doing the same sort of thing with similar equipment back in high school and college (1979-1984) -- creativity is the name of the game! You guys are great....
When two amazing amazing minds come together. The music you both produce together is powerful. Your friendship and love for music is what builds an amazing piece of art.
Fun stuff!! That bass sound on the first track is MASSIVE once it's slowed down. It's funny, I have a Sony Walkman size dictaphone that takes regular cassette tapes- it has half speed and varispeed! Crazy little unit, never seen another quite like it.
So many memories from this. My best friend and I bought a 3440 in 1982 when we had a “band” for a while. We even had the DBX noise reduction unit for it. All sadly long gone, but fondly remembered.
Very inspiring insight, thank you for sharing. I think one of my biggest hold-back on tape-machines is actually the “service-condition” part, despite that you can find the service manual freely online. You will also experience on user-repair-forums that spare-parts [beyond belt-drive] are not easy to obtain, some even to a point where people suggest to buy another TEAC A-3440 for just parts.
This EP might be my favorite thing you guys have ever done, it works really well, I feel like it has a lot of potential you two together. Make music videos!!
I literally like 30 mins ago just checked out this same machine from my local music store. It was weird to come home and this was on the top of my feed. Maybe I should go back and get it. Something's in the air. I tell you music is in the air. 😂
One thing I love about the A-3440 is that you can use the DBX in/outs as insert points both for recording and mixdown on each individual channel (because that’s all they essentially are). This machine punches far above its weight class 🥊
This reminds me of some of the experiments I did back in 1981 on my recently purchased Ferrograph Series Seven two-track machine - speeding things up and slowing them down, and then combining the results. I also made a recording with my then band, where we used to recorded on a four-track cassette-mixer. We recorded two tracks of guitars on an ordinary tape recorder, and put the tape in the cassette-mixer, where the tape would run at double speed. Our guitars sounded like chinese mandolins! We just fell about laughing... - Great fun!
i have a tascam 122 mkii deck with a pitch control on it which allows for recording at very odd speeds, still trying to get it fully operational but its a gorgeous looking piece of equipment fits well with my other cassette decks
My band L recorded an album in the Green Door Studios in Glasgow last year and we did a whole bunch of extreme tape manipulation on it such as pitching the track down manually during the live take. The craziest one was where we played 26 diffrent songs and only punched in the recording for a couple of seconds of each to create a megamix :)
I have a Teac 3440, a Tascam TR;S 8, and an Otari 2-track in storage. Unfortunately, they all need some work, but I used to love the sound. I used them in my production studio to produce lots and lots of commercials for radio and television. Later, I did some music recording with them. I used love to take a recording I did in a DAW and re-record it to tape. The rap guys I used to record loved the sound of tape, as the bottom end was so much richer in sound. This was a fun video!
There's nothing better than record to reel to reel and then half-speeding it. It makes absolutely everthing sounds better, there is no way of denying it.
It's easier if you concept requires you to play at half the speed you need. ;) ... oh... and then Sam said the same thing. The emergency German lesson was funny. :) When you first pitched the drums up it sounded SO much like my old Yamaha DD-10... carried me back to the the 1980s. ... right I'm off to Bandcamp now... I love these collaborations you two have been doing recently.
PLEASE do a video on that Clavaline! I want to know more about that lever you’re moving and how it seems to change the volume? And I thought the microphone was connected to it at first haha
I love that you're using a Beyerdynamic m260 (or at least I'm 99% sure?) for the dialog here! I just bought one a few months ago for studio use and have been loving it for vocals, guitars and all sorts of things.
Varispeed was a *huge* part of EMI's recording efforts for the Beatles at Abbey Road & it's quite gratifying to watch a similar pursuit here... Thanks, guys! 🫡
Bordsteinkante is amazing. I passed on opportunities to buy 2 different reel to reel tape recorders in the last year for cheap. No idea if they worked, but I kind of wish I had gotten at least 1 of them.
I can't believe I just saw the SH-2 in this video. My fav portable synth !!!! real sleeper but the prices have gotten ridiculous remember when I could find them for $200 !
I had that *exact* 4 track back in the 90s. Somehow my Dad had one that he just didnt really use, so it ended up at my little flat and I'd end up recording all sorts of nonsense with it. Till one day it died and it ended up back at my dads and I have no idea what happened to it. I should check if the old boy still has it, though he's fairly hairtrigger with throwing stuff out he doesnt use no more.
I have a vintage tape eraser that probably belongs in Sam's museum, the bakelite back panel crumbled away , but it still runs. I dare not use it myself as it is really just a big electro magnet in a box with very old wiring and a spindle that you place the tape reel on. Judging by the use of bakelite its pretty old .
I only just recently realised that half/double speed correclates to an octave. Super handy! The Fish Heads song at the vocals and sung very slowly, so when speed doubled it was high pitch but speed sounded normal. Along with some other parts. Scritti Politti on some of their earlier stuff recorded some parts half speed an octave down too, to get very pricise timing that sounded sequenced, without using sequencing, when sped up.
I want to put a sherman filterbank through a tape machine. all those fractals of wild sound that a sherman filterbank can create slowed down would be incredible

oh yes!! still cant get over how the drums sounded that first time we flicked it down half speed.

Hainbach and lmnc sound really good as a duo. Musical creativity and the voices, it all comes together so well
LMNC's voice slowed down and distorted by that gear sounds fucking fantastic.
I’m going to spend the entire duration of this video anxiously watching the Space Echo perilously perched on top of everything else in that stack of gear…
I want this collaboration to last as long as humanly possible.

I’d describe the sound of that first song as “post-apocalyptic lounge music”

Who thought Hainbach´s Ambient would mix so well with that eletronic punk, lmnc brings to the table?
I love it!
I want the EP now :D
This is one of your best productions... listening to the EP right now... CONGRATULATIONS!

This is crazy man. I've been forcing my music friends to listen to this for a few hours and we're all geeking out over it lol
the blend of the creative styles of the two of you sounds amazing, it just works. the album is full of bangers!
You guys are phenomenal together! Please keep collaborating!
Damn, dude. That drum beat around 9:30 is so close to the Head Like a Hole beat.
That's a gnarly machine, love that tone.
This whole project was amazing.

Always awesome seeing you guys working together. The Teac 3440 was the tape machine I used in electronic music classes back in the 80s.
The two of you are great artists bundeling their magnificent creativity! If your album comes out on vinyl, i would certainly buy it !
When two amazing amazing minds come together. The music you both produce together is powerful. Your friendship and love for music is what builds an amazing piece of art.
Love it mane!!
Magic Sound !!!!!! Ahhhh pourquoi ils sortent pas à nouveau des multipistes !?
I absolutely love how the songs turned out! The textures are really really crazy
Also you need to do more vocals on your music, I really dig it!
🤩🤩 awesome video and music! Boosts my faith in analog gear being able to hold its own in the DAW and AI era. 🔥
Two of my favorite youtubers collab!

@@emptyvesselnz didn't have much tape on the reels, I bet it's still there. If so next time down that way it definitely coming home.
One thing I love about the A-3440 is that you can use the DBX in/outs as insert points both for recording and mixdown on each individual channel (because that’s all they essentially are). This machine punches far above its weight class 🥊

Enthusiastic fan of Look Mum, No Computer. Haven't seen any of his projects in a while and will go have a look.
Bruh, I would've never expected to hear the name "Tascam" in a musical context. Fantastic, thanks guys ❤

I have a Teac 3440, a Tascam TR;S 8, and an Otari 2-track in storage. Unfortunately, they all need some work, but I used to love the sound. I used them in my production studio to produce lots and lots of commercials for radio and television. Later, I did some music recording with them. I used love to take a recording I did in a DAW and re-record it to tape. The rap guys I used to record loved the sound of tape, as the bottom end was so much richer in sound. This was a fun video!
Loving these HAINBACH LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER collabs - especially on tape📽
Great sounds, love it.
There's nothing better than record to reel to reel and then half-speeding it. It makes absolutely everthing sounds better, there is no way of denying it.
You two are amazing together ❤
Lovely intro music, sounds really good with subwoofer
That room looks like a playground. Pretty cool sound.
While not quite as cool sounding you can do this in a DAW if you want to do it on the cheap.
It's easier if you concept requires you to play at half the speed you need. ;) ... oh... and then Sam said the same thing.
The emergency German lesson was funny. :) When you first pitched the drums up it sounded SO much like my old Yamaha DD-10... carried me back to the the 1980s.
... right I'm off to Bandcamp now... I love these collaborations you two have been doing recently.
PLEASE do a video on that Clavaline! I want to know more about that lever you’re moving and how it seems to change the volume? And I thought the microphone was connected to it at first haha
Will do!
@@Hainbach YAYYY
Great work, mates!
The second track gave me such The Doors vibes at first
Excellent! Bought and will recommend to friends. 👽👍
This track reminds me of Einsturzende Neubauten, I love it.
When two masters are nerding around, there´s only one way how this will turn out: EPIC !!
Track's 2 "stars above" part gives me a LCD Soundsystem feel
Oh that is the hugest compliment
I love that you're using a Beyerdynamic m260 (or at least I'm 99% sure?) for the dialog here! I just bought one a few months ago for studio use and have been loving it for vocals, guitars and all sorts of things.
Love to see two nerds playing around like this! 👍
Varispeed was a *huge* part of EMI's recording efforts for the Beatles at Abbey Road & it's quite gratifying to watch a similar pursuit here... Thanks, guys!

Damn! This song is great!!!
The whole segment at 13:30 is giving me awesome Spinvis x Gorillaz vibes. Does it get any better than that. Tremendously nice. Thank you both.
A lot of my tracks are slowed down and distorted, it gives them a sinister ,dark , low -fi edge that is needed for death industrial / harsh noise.
Bordsteinkante is amazing.
I passed on opportunities to buy 2 different reel to reel tape recorders in the last year for cheap. No idea if they worked, but I kind of wish I had gotten at least 1 of them.
It is always worth to try - often its just a belt that needs exchanging, that is easy to do on the old machines.
I cant look at that stack with the space echo on top. 😢 see you in April in Berlin Sam.
I can't believe I just saw the SH-2 in this video. My fav portable synth !!!! real sleeper but the prices have gotten ridiculous remember when I could find them for $200 !
Well done lads!
Awesome stuff guys!
I had that *exact* 4 track back in the 90s. Somehow my Dad had one that he just didnt really use, so it ended up at my little flat and I'd end up recording all sorts of nonsense with it. Till one day it died and it ended up back at my dads and I have no idea what happened to it. I should check if the old boy still has it, though he's fairly hairtrigger with throwing stuff out he doesnt use no more.
I have a vintage tape eraser that probably belongs in Sam's museum, the bakelite back panel crumbled away , but it still runs. I dare not use it myself as it is really just a big electro magnet in a box with very old wiring and a spindle that you place the tape reel on. Judging by the use of bakelite its pretty old .
I only just recently realised that half/double speed correclates to an octave. Super handy! The Fish Heads song at the vocals and sung very slowly, so when speed doubled it was high pitch but speed sounded normal. Along with some other parts. Scritti Politti on some of their earlier stuff recorded some parts half speed an octave down too, to get very pricise timing that sounded sequenced, without using sequencing, when sped up.
That one on 12:12 was heavy as fuuuuck! 🔥
A little puzzle: Hainbach wears a special arctic jumper and hat while his guest feels well in t-shirt. So what temperature is in the room?
@lookmumnocomputer contains the energy of about three people in one human so his body temperature is probably multiples higher.
That's quite the balancing act...the stacked units under the Echo. lol
It was pretty sturdy, but I have reworked everything the past three days. It is way more comfortable now.
Geniuses ⚡️
I want to put a sherman filterbank through a tape machine. all those fractals of wild sound that a sherman filterbank can create slowed down would be incredible
That was fun!
