I am so grateful to you for opening that tape. I've just stumbled across these too when trying to find a way of making longer tape loops. I found some of these 30 second loop tapes on eBay and I would have been tempted to take apart to see how they're routed and now I don't need to, thank you! Very nice piece, thank you for sharing this also.
@@JamesPearson if you are really careful you can open one up and cut out the metal strip then stick it back together. I have managed to do that once. It means you don't have the silence each time the strip goes past. I think it's there to be detected where the start of the answerphone message is
@@chrisbullock613 Thanks Chris, that sounds like a good idea. The eBay listing is for three tapes and so I can always take the risk with one :) move the tape until the metal strip is at the heads and work from there. I do have splicing tape and a block, etc, but boy is it fiddly! It's actually made me wonder if I could try building my own longer loops. The solution they used with that piece of plastic doesn't look too difficult to replicate. Tapes generally have that piece of clear plastic and I wonder if that could be cut to the same shape to serve the same purpose. That would be really cool!
@@JamesPearson You can add more plastic pieces inside to take the tape on a longer route, like lego pieces although it's not going to add much more loop time. I think some people run the tape outside of the casette and the player but then you'd need a hole in your casette and player chassis!
@@JamesPearson but yes get the metal strip in place then it's more manageable to cut it out and resplice - I use scissors and tape I don't have a proper block so my splices arn't perfect but usually sound ok. Some of my performance tapes are waiting to be remade I really should do that!

The performance part of this sounds great. Loved it.
Thank you! I really enjoy messing around with my portastudio
Me too
This sounds amazing and looks like a lot of fun.
Very Eraserhead soundtrack!
That poor unspooled tape though... 😂🥺
Thank you! I might get the tape back on the spool.. One day..

Haha oh my god it's so difficult. I haven't rewound it yet, not having sprockets makes it pretty much impossible

I genuinely believe you'd make a killing sound designing for horror games.
That'd be pretty cool I think :)
