This diagram graphically shows some of the types of loops that can be achieved with audio cassettes, along with their corresponding durations.




sound pudding - Making a loop is quite easy. Open the cassette, cut to length, use a tiny bit of clear tape to connect the ends, and wrap it around the tape spools :)

VintageRack process vintage synths

In this demo I tried to give some ambience and depth to the sound of vintage synths by adding a little processing with several effects in the VintageRack app specifically for each track. These are not factory presets. But the parameters of the effects modules in this app are kept to a minimum and represent the most suitable use cases. So it's very easy to choice a line of effects and customize it for any instrument in accordance with the general idea.

The original tracks, without any processing, were recorded from real instruments and were kindly provided by @ohm_studi_ohm, as were images of these instruments from which they were recorded. On his channel you can find original demos of these synths and other interesting instruments and devices.

>>> Vintage musical instruments and gear servicing






VintageRack (iOS/Mac) is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically modeling notable retro gear from the early digital era with their inherent aesthetics and atmosphere. Most of the effects in this application have been inspired and based on the principles of actual hardware from the 70s and 80s, which is great for giving the sound of any instrument the nostalgic and emotional mood of old recordings.
