hey this was absolutely just a video i made for a college project, so sorry if it's kind of garbage/unclear lol - if you leave a comment i'll do my best to actually reply in a more timely manner from now on
yeah man I got mine for free from a neighbor - mine is on its last legs now, not sure if it's from usage or just general age, but let me know how yours holds up!
@@herotolegend makes sense haha, it's the same situation on my end now - the audio is warbled and makes weird clicking noises when i record now, and the audio gets kinda funky and *wavy* when playing on the top deck - emerson isn't the most amazing manufacturer unfortunately if you ever see a sony one in good condition though, make sure to snag it - my sony cassette deck / stereo set is still going strong after a loooong life
@@loudscuffed950 I’m sure your belts just needs to be changed. It’s probably running on the original ones. If you’re scared to take it apart, you might be able to find an audiophile that knows how to work on them!
Boy this brings back memories 😂 I used to make my own cassettes as a kid to go in my Walkman in the 90s. If streaming services were a thing back then and was as affordable as it is now I’d have a field day 😂
I'm making tapes for a cross country road trip because my car doesn't have bluetooth or cd player. So happy when I found your video! This helps sm thank you!
The reason for C46 cassettes is because it perfectly fits the maximum length of a vinyl LP. C120 cassettes can be problematic, not because of the length, but because the tape is much thinner.
Ive been saving up for a 1983 station wagon that I wanted to upgrade to an EV. I looked at some of them and they only took cassette tapes, but I want to keep that because I already have a bunch but didnt like the music, so thank you for showing me this!
Yo they make cassette to aux adapters, you just slide a tape into ur tape slot and it will have an aux cord that comes out of it that u plug ur phone w. It’s a lot easier than recording all ur music on tapes.
I'm really into DeLoreans, I've been watching this series that's like 3 ish years in the making of a guy converting his to an EV from another car and it's really darn cool. It's just such a cool way to be able to make older cars road worthy and more reliable what with the aging parts and what not, but man, as a layman it looks so absurdly difficult. I wish you luck on that if you haven't done it already, and again, I just think it's really cool that this type of thing is possible now.
Love this video and the comments. A modern spin on something my generation did all the time. This isn't a criticism of any of the contributors or their questions and I'm sorry if anyone takes it that way. To someone who grew up with cassette tapes as their main or major music format, they just highlight how quickly they have disappeared from the mainstream when people are genuinely asking questions about recording on both sides or how a C60 is only good for 30 mins.(yes, you need to turn it over unless you have auto-,reverse). Like how you are using a "retro" boombox, by the way. Anyone new to cassettes who bought a modern deck, I fear would be sorely disappointed with the sound quality. Even though yours would have been a fairly budget device at the time it was made, I'm almost certain it sounds better than modern ones that can cost hundreds.
cool video, I'm just getting into cassette tapes myself. As some people have mentioned, and maybe you're already aware, you can get cassette to 3.5mm aux cable adapters. They work basically as well as a native aux input and are pretty cheap.
I think it's cool having cassette recordings of your playlists. If you're car only has a cassette player though, you can buy an aux to cassette adapter, one side plugs into your device/cd player and the other looks like a cassette. They were popular when cars started getting CD players but not all had them, you could connect your portable CD player to your car using the cassette deck.
I would recommend getting a proper tape deck for a component stereo system if you want the BEST possible recordings. You don't necessarily need a Nakamichi Dragon, just some cheap tape deck from the 90s will do. (I reccomend a Sony TC-WE305)
I actually recently just snagged a whole Sony 2002 stereo set with a functioning proper tape deck for 50 bucks from a garage sale recently (worth it, it had functioning play + record functions for tapes as well as a cd player and radio) and I absolutely agree - the difference in quality is definitely noticable!
I personally recommend your digital source to be lossless, like a CD or high res FLACs for example. I also recommend something with a decent line out like the aforementioned CD player. I've also had no problems with c120 tapes, but then again I have a decent mid range component tape deck from the early 80s, mine is a JVC KD-V6. And I saw one of the comments you posted a while back that you got a decent component tape deck now. Other than those three glaring issues I saw everything was otherwise perfect. Great job on the video!
To be honest, this has been a thing since the introduction of CD back in the eighties. My Dad would make mixtapes from cds that he would get or borrow from friends on to his stereo system with the CD player having an output to go into the tape deck. And then there is an input for CD player that goes into the tape deck and can be synced to record and play on both machines. Years later when I was in high school, back when everyone had iPods and iTunes in the mid to late 2000s. I used my iPod and a aux cable with an RCA on one end and plugged that into my stereo which has the tape deck connected in both input and output for the source coming from the stereo, and I would record mixtapes or albums that I got of iTunes to play in the car or on the boombox that we had lying around in the garage. And to this day I still record stuff like that for the last 17 years. I even used my computer to record stuff off TH-cam or other stuff the same way. Plus if you have a stereo receiver from the late nineties, make sure that it has a input for DVD/ VHS or Laserdisc with RCA audio input or optical audio cable inputs as you can record audio off of those on to the cassette if you have live DVD concerts that are not on CD or streaming services.
Recording on a tape deck with dolby s and a metal tape while recording from hi fi digital songs from tidal or even downloaded one's is your best option if you want the best recorded audio quality
This is pretty smart in terms of long-term storage. CDs and HDDs are highly susceptible to rot, in fact I have a HDD that was not used for only 3 years, I went to get some things off if it and it was dead. Tape storage is actually widely used by many industries for that exact reason among others. Physical media is often scoffed at these days, but the only real downsides are space usage and having to rewind.
I have a KICKASS Technics cassette deck and go DIRECTLY into it from my Samsung A9+ tablet, from digital STRAIGHT into analog, and the recordings are PHENOMENAL!
I love what you're showing here. This is almost exactly what I do with my Linux 💻 pc using rhythm box. But I confess I sometimes use 120s . The reason is you can store the equivalent of 3 or 4 records or compact discs on them. But since they're thin your decked needs to be cleaned frequently. When I use 120s I choose Maxell UR.
You could also use a cassette to aux adapter, wich is basically a cassette with a cord hanging off of it and you can directly listen to your music without needing to record music on actual cassette tapes
I don’t have a need to sets or anything yet but I am getting three blade cassette tapes a couple cases I cassette recorder and also player and an ox cord for Christmas saw this really helps😊
Hey, I understand that having ng a physical tape is sick and all and I do want to do this but if you want an aux you can just buy a tape conversion thingy (technical term) with an aux attached to the “cassette”. So it works the exact same as an aux and is pretty cheap, most electronic stores sell them. I’m sorry I don’t know what they are actually called.
Nice video, however, you didn't explain the cord hookup from the tablet to the cassette deck or what is the name of the input slot on the tape deck. Thanks anyway.
Im just a weirdo who likes cassettes and ive tried so many ways to record them and I cant believe it finally worked by using my phone an aux cord from a set of beats and a dongle cuz i have an iphone 😂
Hey there. (1) I totally agree with you on the C 120 blank cassettes. (2) If you have something like a C90 blank cassette you want to record on you have two separate albums you want to record on that tape it's always a good idea to record the longest album first. Make sure you use the same side of the tape you plan to record the longest album of the two first. After you record that album, play it back first. If it sounds good enough all the way, once the very last track ends, let it run a few seconds. After that, pull out any remaining blank recording tape & dispose of it.😀
I tried this same thing (around the time of upload too, oddly enough) with my phone and my Hello Kitty boombox I found at Goodwill. It didn't turn out that great, prob bc of either the equipment or some fault of my own, but seeing this video makes me want to try it again when I get back home. The thing that worries me is that I feel like I have no idea of the best way to arrange the tracks, but I want to try nonetheless. :)
Some people say you need a high quality deck with Dolby NR. However this is a better option for casual listening because a tape with NR will not play properly in a player with no NR like the one you have.
I love the idea, but if you really need an aux cord there are cassette adapters that go into the cassette player and have an aux cord going into it and it adds an aux cord and there are also bluetooth ones.
Its fine if you want to make the cassettes and all. But you can also get a cassette to aux adapter and just connect your phone to your old car radio. I think some of those adaptors also have Bluetooth.
@@liamgalwey5616 It's 30 per side, so if you made a playlist with 60, you'd run out of tape halfway through, have to flip it, and keep recording. Wouldn't recommend this because a song would probably get cut off in the middle.
I had an app on my 2001 iMac that would automatically generate playlists from an iTunes library playlist. You could set it to CD or cassette side durations. I wish I could remember the name.
unfortunately this video basically is just information that I already know. however it is very helpful to others who would not know how to record playlist onto cassette tapes. they do make Bluetooth adapters for cars with cassette players it's a cassette tape with a Bluetooth module in it. but since your car has a cassette player you may as well just make use of it and it's a really nice thing because as we know old nostalgic formats are coming back there are lots of modern millennials that have the latest vehicles and they wish they had cassette players in them.
C120 is fine if the deck is fine. The original concern was that the tape would be thinner and that would cause issues. Clean your deck and you'll be fine. C46 is great if you want to record vinyl records on tape. A standard 12" LP has about 22 mins per side.
What cable are you using, what input, and what output? How is 'I have my ipad plugged in' any kind of explanation of how to record a playlist to casette?
sorry for the late reply, but if the walkman has a record function, you can absoutely record it on that! my boyfriend has his dad's walkman from the early 90s and he's able to record stuff on it no problem.
Do you think you can try and do a video on how to put songs onto a cassette. I got a cassette player from my great grandma and I mostly have blanks cassettes
Just what I needed. I should be able to record off of youtube, right? My concern is the quality. can you control the quality of sound out to your recording device? Thanks!
You can totally record off TH-cam - most of my music just happens to be already downloaded onto my laptop. The main variant in audio quality comes from whatever deck/boombox you're recording from - while this boombox recorded alright enough when I made this video, it's on its last legs now, and the audio quality is nowhere near as nice as that of my new one. In addition, RCA cables will definitely give you higher quality than straight AUX if you have that option.
Hello, I was wondering what materials you need to use in order to record it. Can I use a cassette player and still have good quality without a boombox? If so what cassette players do you recommend?
Good job. You can buy cassette tapes that have aux cables coming out of them, i had one for my own car that was also a billion years old. Hope you passed your exam or whatever
The recording deck needs to have an Aux input jack. Very important detail there. The songs are going from a tablet's headphone jack into the boombox's input. Also: People should always wait a solid 10 to 12 seconds after pressing Record, before starting the playlist of tunes. The "empty"/white tape that is at the beginning of every cassette takes that amount of time to play--- and then the brown tape starts after it, which is what picks up the actual audio being recorded. Wouldn't want the beginning moment of a song to not be included on the playlist cassette.
My old problem is for me, I wanna do this but what do I do if I have ads on my thing, I don't really wanna be in the middle of recording everything then a ad pops up and ruins it
Great vid! I was wondering if dont have a boombox or a record thingy. Can i just get a tape recorder or will that make the quality bad? Since I dont want to spend so much money on a huge cassette recorder only it to turn out horrible
Wtf this is actually the coolest sht ive ever seen. Something about the mixing of modern streaming services and analogue tech, i love it
agreed, its cool asf
just picked up a onkyo ta-rw400 and i did this with my old deck and hopefully the new as well
And long lasting.
