1979 Vintage Audio Equipment Stack in a Domestic Setting

The image captures an array of vintage audio equipment neatly arranged on top of each other, likely within the living room or entertainment area of a home. The uppermost device appears to be a tape recorder with two cassette slots and various control knobs below them. Directly beneath it is another piece of electronic gear featuring dials and sliders for adjusting settings such as volume, bass, treble, balance, tone controls, and tuning.

The text on the devices in this image does not have high legibility due to resolution constraints but suggests labels typical of audio equipment from that era.
Visible are words like "Power," likely referring to a power amplifier or receiver; "Tune" for adjusting radio frequency settings; and symbols indicating different sound output levels.

Auschwitz – Live 81/87-93

One of my favorite releases this autumn/winter. Took about a year from when I ordered it till I got it, and when I did, I wasn't even sure what genre it was (even though I had listened to some tracks beforehand). Sounds a bit like a punk band. But it is, to me, another piece of the puzzle that is Japanese psychedelic rock, and it's very, very good.

I am smitten by the #AirwindowsConsolidated plugins. They add a really nice colour and character to my sound that I have been trying to find. #Tape #Tube #Saturation #SoundDesign all in #BitwigStudio on #Linux and sounding really good.

The sound sculpting possibilities for bass, drums, pads and more are blowing my mind.

I want to put it on everything. It also plays nicely with my #distortion explorations with my #ShermanikFilterbank preset.

Here's a little beat that I cooked up as I ponder the world.

Dry at the start, DubSub comes in first on the bass and then my Shermanik Filterbank is added by 00:33. Filterbank drops back at 01:10, and ramps to full intensity at 01:30.

There's MackEQ on the bass drum and the whole drum set is being run through Tube and VerbTiny. The whole mix is then run through Tube again with a Peak Limiter to keep things in check.

20 seconds of my "Hoyt Arboretum" Portland on Tape short, now w/ no music. Full video:

Captured on an analog VHS camcorder from the late '90s, and such a dreamlike look for the Portland area that I just love. Enjoi, and stay tuned for more! 📼

Portland on Tape - Hoyt Arboretum (No Music)

That's a nice #cassette

I'm not a big #dungeonsynth Fan, but i like this and bought the #tape.

There is a dungeon map inside, where you can play the songs, If you enter the field. I'm impressed how much things they put into a Tape.

Dungeon Lurker - The endless Tunnels of Enlandin

https://heimatderkatastrophe.bandcamp.com/album/hdk-215-the-endless-tunnels-of-enlandin

Front Cover of the Tape, depicts a dungeon group meeting a band of pig headed foes

the backside of the Tape. written on the Back:
"This room is lit by a weird crackling fire that burns in a stone bowl in the room. Four troglodytes bow before a stone statue of a lizard with two large green gems for eyes. One of the trogs is about to slit an unconscious woman's throat with a weirdly glowing dagger..."

on a green table lies the Tape, the dungeon map in blue and the inside of the hull

New (to me) #music discovery: https://slugbug.bandcamp.com/music

Paul D. Millar is SLUGBUG. Dude played bass with Gary Wilson, and that influence is obvious. Incredible #tape slicing compositions, #synth tweaking goodness, and analog regurgitation. Perhaps start with Truck Month, but all of these recordings will take you "somewhere."

Everything put together, set the mood. Sunday I just did an initial selection of complementary sounds so they didn't stomp too much on each other. Programmed some drum patterns, set up the arpeggiator. Tested to tape, didn't like the mix, but gave me some good ideas. I will probably multitrack next month so I can redo one specific track instead of having to redo the whole thing.

And Monday night I did some adjustments and final take #studio #music #electronic #midi #live #tape

@alisynthesis Thank you for asking. I have a couple of different work flows depending.

Generally record to #tape, mix in #Cubase, then send from Cubase to tape, mixdown to stereo in Cubase master in Cubase. I also use field recorder for organic sounds.

Other times I record and mix in Cubase then send the quad mix to tape. I have and use 2 A-3340 #TapeRecorders so I can bounce between them using the built in attenuators to mix. No one size fit all.
