  • Hey guys -- let's continue creating some new and interesting colors by throwing the Tascam 246 Cassette Recorder and several other compressors, distressors, and more at the signal coming from my Buchla and Eurorack system.

    Nice to see i did the same and still have the mt-100 Here. You probably know but for viewers,you can use one channel for cv recording as wel or use it as a master clock with the pitch to your modular 🎉

    Every time I mention the name “Buchla” to my wife she gets mad. I want your setup so bad but idk how I would ever afford it. Babies coming next month. Guess we will just have to enjoy yours! Thanks again for posting all these videos! ❤

    great setup ! the 246 saturation sounds so good. We also made most of skinny puppy demos using this in the early 80's. Great thing is how well cassette format holds up, as i can still playback the old tapes ! Super great explanation of your rig. Im looking to get rid of my console and build a similar input output system. We met once long ago in Amsterdam (97) So its great to see your success Tom, all the best to you

    Here's a cool tip: There's a free program called the Akaizer that can time stretch (and/or pitch shift) any WAVE or AIFF sound file in the style of the 'cyclic' time stretch which featured on old Akai sound samplers. Might be useful for some of you.

    What's great about these experimentation vidoes is that is not actually about the expensive gear, it's about creative ideas for sound design that you can implement even if you can't afford any of this gear. I bet lots of people watching this have 10000$ eurorack setups but have never actually 'resampled' anything in their life....

    Very cool! My favorite video of yours so far. I had the Tascam 234 (rackmount) growing up, this brings back so many memories. I know yours is the 246 (same concept). What is the reverb on the Buchula tape track? Was it in the Eurorack H9 reverb or a send on 246 to something else? Those tube-techs are awesome but super expensive! Thanks for the video Tom.
    I am curious about your Dynaudio Stands... I was on the Dynaudio site, did not find them. I need high stands like you have for my Cores because of my tall DELL monitors.. be cool to know if you feel like sharing?

    Amazing set up and lesson. Slow down tape with Shimmer Reverb pitch dark\bright mode might sound big with negative\positive envelope filters to LFO-1 & 2 -env mode via Virus TI. Relly like the big headroom tape-playback though hardware. Reminder is, The Dolby NR input signal needs to be set just right +3 of a max 8. Don't have the real TI, using the usual suspects DSP. Dose your Module Rack setup have LFO-Env mode?

    Two stereo linked Distressors? C'mon! I'd never have the 246 there, it'd be soaked in drool! There's an argument for Distressors being some of the best value in pro audio, how much more would two LA2As and two 1176s set one back, around 4 times as much I'd guess nowadays? Mine was a little Porta 05, loved it. Perhaps you could show how we'd bounce down 4 tracks to 1 or 4 tracks 2, either to free up a couple of extra tracks or over and over again to crush, colourize and noisy up a pad or atmospherics. Some times you could get away with mixing flute, noise fx or even the high passed reverb of another track onto that 4th bass track bounce, then use EQ to 'mix' 1 track as 2 elements. Constraints...

    It affected me very much...the transporter shut down half a mile from the city walls, no way in, no way out. The reactor must be shut down inside the walls of this dystopian city, one of the last to continue feeding everything in this city. An upturned transporter, I see movement, a child, trying to see and unsure, could he know the way in ?. He puts out a hand and gestures to his mouth...😮.

      @@gel1912 Thanks for the reply, must have missed that part. I am more of a Moog lover (in the context of soundtracks), I just don't see the practicality in using a Buchla in this context. I just do not have this amount of money. I'll just stick to my Behringers, which serve their purpose pretty well.
