I still love recording music on old school tech. My 4 track cassette died years ago, but I love using hardware MTRs, like Roland VS890 and Yamaha AW16g. The Yamaha is still really frikken amazing.

Another cleaning up find.... Knew this was still somewhere up here.
Serious risk of listening to bad recordings rest of the day.
Can't find the power lead tho 🤔

I was 19 in 1985/86 so you're not far off! I was doing synthpop, and releasing it on cassettes. I still have some around somewhere.

It was all recorded on my beloved #FostexX15 #FourTrack. I'd use one track for #FSK sync code so I had to bounce/plan a lot!

...and here's episode 3, following a four-track tape that I started in the UK and ended up in the US. Great fun!

Here's episode two - this tape started in Canada and was completed by three musicians in the US. Not bad, but my tape (which will be episode 3) went transatlantic!

Anyway, another fun watch - love these analogue collaborations!

Back in February I recorded some awkward video of myself recording music to cassette, before the end of the year I'll show up on the #FAWM (February Album Writing Month) YouTube channel talking about it.

Just watched the first episode with four other, more charismatic people talking about their song and it turned out great! Looking forward slightly anxiously to my one - I need to get better at feeling comfortable on camera for next year though!
