THIS is the sound you're supposed to get on these 4 tracks. You've absolutely nailed the marriage of sound and songwriting and recording! This song sounds better recorded in this way than it would all pristine! You're an expert! Beautiful.
I also stumbled across this with a portastudio search- but this song is so beautiful, and this arrangement on to tape works brilliantly, it made me STOP and listen... Want to find more of your music now... 👍
@@NEALBEARD2 hi Neal, so kind of you to say this. I'm so glad you like it. You can listen to my catalogue here. open.spotify.com/artist/4fqZtD5PE1M6UIopy2CHJk?si=0CuGvBloSdCLGNtE9y_cOg
The porta 02 is designed for recording on type II tapes and this looks likes like a maxel type I. Though the decreased sound quality works with the style
Well mixed...I like the way the spanish guitar sound, with almost no high end, fits perfectly

I watched random videos about the Tascam recorder. I got here .... time has stopped. I listened several times and I love it. Very nice composition. I hold my thumb for your talent and subsequent recordings. Nice recordings on Spotify. Yo!
Thank you for sharing your music. I also stumbled on this video, and it took me to your Spotify releases as well. Beautiful and inspiring - you've got a new listener in Denmark.
I think I got some adapter cables, ran into a logic session. Matched the good audio with the bad audio from the video capture, replaced it. Cut into iMovie
@@keenanomearamusic amazing man, recently got my hands on a 414, brings such a great dimension to recording. Truly beautiful song here though, recording aside!
i just ran an EV RE 15 on the vocal and tracked the guitar with a SM57. Went back through and did another run of guitars and background vocals on the other two tracks. a lil panning and its sounds alright.
keenanomearamusic by any chance would you have a list or perhaps could indicate all of the material, techniques and gear you used for this song? I am genuinely in love with the tone of this song and would love to replicate it. One of my favorite musical finds this year. Keep up the good work !
Hey man, lovely song I thought it was great. I’m tryna get my hands on this same recorder but how would I convert the tape digitally. What tools would I need to do this ?
@@keenanomearamusic sweet man thank you so much. And I’ve been researching how I’d have to use effect pedals with this tape machine. So far I’ve never came across any vids of people using pedals with this machine. Majority of my research has just been people plugging into this same model with no effect and I’m assuming no amp. Do you know how I’d have to do this process. (Ps Sorry for the long question I just really love this kinda stuff and I’m new to it.)
oh no i have no idea..... its been awhile but i grabbed a bunch of cassettes off amazon. I will dig through studio see if i can find tape. It was almost 8 years ago i recorded these tunes 😵
This is amazing! I know you put this out years ago, wondering if I can get more details on how you got this sound (what mics/preamps) I'm looking to start getting into 4 track recording myself!
@@keenanomearamusic Awesome! Thanks-followed you on Spotify. I really did your music. I've got an album coming out this year and want to do an acoustic ep with one of these 4 tracks as well. Looking forward to checking out more of your jams!
Do you recall what type of cassette tape (not the recorder) you recorded this to? I've been recording with the porta 02 on maxell tapes which might be too hifi for what I'm after.I like the lofi sound you got
i dont like the maxwell sound on mine either. i have this same model tascam. when i was in a band , years ago, i would drop a $40 dynamic mic about six foot off the floor & just record the whole band at once. it was a smaller size room. IIRC, we got out best sound from TDK but not the chrome ones or the long run time (ie: 120min.) ones. i got a wheelbarrow of our old tapes. they were red/white in color. 90min. TDK . ......i think. lol. i hope this helps
Can you describe how you got your guitar sound on this recording? Is it just direct into the porta02 or is there some kind for reverb, external mic, pre-amp?
This is beautiful. I came across your SC page and your song "If I Could Leave" has been stuck in my head for a long time now. The tape sound suits your music so good! Is there any chance I could buy/download the songs you recorded on tape? I believe there are four on your SC (at least all of them have the same cover art), and I'd be more than glad to support ya.

Serious Daniel Rossen/Department of Eagles/Grizzly Bear vibes from this. Gorgeous.
reminds me of dr. dog's older stuff - super folk vibe. love it so much
This is one of my favorite songs. I just stumbled upon it while looking through videos of the Tascam. I love it so much.
thanks! gonna release a record of these. soon as I got my 4th channel fixed...
Where will it be released?

I've gotten pretty critical over the years... This is just absolutely incredible my god thank you for creating this.
You have no idea how awesome this is!
This is special
Amazing
That’s a masterpiece! Thank you for the dreamiest and loveliest tune in the world.
Im fascinated by this chord progression. I cannot figure it out for the life of me. It would be seriously amazing if you could publish it somehow.

what a very beautiful song.
songs like this make life worth living, truly amazing
Nothing beats the sound of tape. Great song.
Simply beautiful! It reminded me of those Schuman lieder songs, that tape texture is just a bonus!
wow gorgeous
You create magic, thank you for that.
so beautiful, reminds me of mat davidson of twain. you've convinced me to get a portastudio keenan!

Yep, this is wonderful! Nice job!
Hermoso... its really beautiful, I was searching for the Tascam too, happy I ended up here :)
yeah you nailed it in terms of medium /device /writing/ presentation
Damn man, this is precious.
Really helps me out in tough times.
Absolutely love this song. I listened to the whole ep and it’s just amazing. Just bought a Porta 02 because of this.
great stuff, man. pushed me over the edge to get a portastudio!
Reminds me if Elliott Smith Wayne Coyne. Brilliant
Fantastic. The best thing I've heard in a while, and made even better by the tape recorder
Fantastic
oh my, this is beautiful
clap clap 🙏 beautiful tune and performance dude!
This is beautiful. I'm always amazed by your work. Thanks Keenan!

Lovely tune.
Its a good song
Truly beautiful

Beautiful. I've been looking for an example with vocals. This sounds amazing.
What a beautiful song man
omg bro this is beautiful
such a lovely song!
Beautiful song
Elegante !
thought it was early dept of eagles for a sec. nice!
Good ear. I love Daniel Rossen.
Gorgeous
Hey dude, incredibly beautiful song and recording . I’d love to know how you transferred this sound directly from your tascam for this video?

ps this reminds me a little of Connie Converse and that is great
Sounds dreamy, what mic/ preamp did you use? Im buying a 4 track, thanks

Not yet I’m afraid. Thanks for the kind sentiment.
@@jacques4446 would you like a tape too Jacob
absolutely incredible. is sound directly from the unit or did you send the audio and process it a bit in a daw?
I rolled a little bit of highs off and compressed it a bit. Mastered to bring up to level.
@@keenanomearamusic oh ok, but other than that the effects you used on everything are minimal if used at all?
@@itgrog no effects at all
This is so good... Is there a built in mic that you are recording with or do you use an external mic?
I used an EV RE 15 and an SM57
@@keenanomearamusic Sweet thanks. Its sounds really good, I love that lofi folk sound.
Hey man, lovely song I thought it was great. I’m tryna get my hands on this same recorder but how would I convert the tape digitally. What tools would I need to do this ?
I guess it depends on quality you want but i got rca cables with 1/4” adapters and sent it into my interface. Leveled and eq’d them a bit in my DAW.

Ev re 15

what mic did u use. This is so good
Ev-re15 and an sm57
@@keenanomearamusic and any ckmpressors or anything. I can’t emphasize how much i like this song haha
@@BigBoi9111 when i transferred it from tape, i added some light eq and compression to bring up volume. I cant remember which plugin tho
But the video shows that only one slot is occupied in Tascam. So, did you split these two microphones on one cable? @@keenanomearamusic
@@keenanomearamusicit was sm57 for body and ev re 15 for vocal?

Just straight into an sm57 if I remember right.
