LESETIPP: Spiele auf Kassette – Ein (fast) vergessener Datenträger

Wie hast du dein erstes Computerspiel geladen? Aus dem Internet? Von einer Blu-ray? Einer DVD oder CD? Oder einem Steckmodul?

I’m not entirely sure what started it, but a little while back I decided to start collecting all the Shamen albums on tape (Boss Drum was the last album I bought on tape before moving up to CDs), which soon ended up including the singles as well. I stopped after a while but I recently started again, picking up another couple. I’ve only got two more left to get now (I’m only going for the UK releases), if I can get the original Pro>gen single and the Hempton Manor album, that’ll be the lot I think!

I got it final. The Compact Cassette Case replacement for all the broken ones in my collection is now available at Printables 👍🏽

But the advent of the cassette meant anyone could go to a gig with a little tape recorder, then run off as few or as many copies as they liked at home. Much lower overheads, much lower risk. It lasted until there was a brief period of home-burnt CDs then digital files took over.

There would be stalls at record fairs, festivals, or hip markets like Camden Lock in London, each selling hundreds of tapes with photocopied home made sleeves.

Loving the #cassunday hashtag on other platforms, hoping it catches on here too. Great to see celebration of the dinky plastic format.

Once tiny players with headphones came out in the early 1980s, the medium came into its own. You could take music with you anywhere you went.

Here's the UK cassette of Strawberry Switchblade's album from 1985.

Dusting and cleaning is much better with some entertainment.

Yes I've seen that horrible concoction where they put + 5 volts somewhere that you can't protect your equipment if you don't know about that

It's not like 48V phantom power on PA & studio 🎙️ hardware, which does nothing to your equipment if it is wired properly

However this is not the case with all PC sound cards
The ones that I used, only have tip sleeve for the mic input, but I made sure that they were wired that way. I could never use those by the way, an XLR microphone just sounds way better, the balanced input is key here

You have pointed it out correctly, the regular XLR microphone input on a mixing console, has a different level of voltage and current in mili amperes, that it expects, than the line level output of a cassette deck
You have to match those with a direct box.

With home equipment it's also not feasible to use the microphone input of a sound card, which is just tip sleeve, thus unbalanced, and sent the high level line output of a cassette deck to it; you would get extreme levels of distortion.

With professional audio, you always have to match the input levels of the channel strip, with the output levels of the device. With home audio you still have to match the input levels of your recorder with the output levels of your device.

For the best results you still have to get a digitizer which is properly matched with its input levels towards the output levels of the tape deck.

A Couple of hours ago somebody asked me how you would go about digitizing a cassette tape.

In the short run it's simple if you are Sound Engineer like me:

* you take a Dual Channel passive direct-box
* you take an output cable which goes from RCA to quarter inch plugs
* you insert those in the direct box
* you pull two XLR cables to your mixing console

From your mixing console you send the analog audio from the subgroups outputs to one of your many digitizers and you're done.

For a home user there's a challenge; the home user first needs to get a working cassette deck, most Engineers who have been in the profession for years have at least one or two of them. Some Engineers even still have Quarter inch tape decks in running condition.

So the home user will need to buy a brand new cassette deck which has a USB output which is in fact a built-in simple digitizer.

I have a check for those, because I do not wish to play my retro cassettes again, even though they are in perfect condition. Compact cassette always sounded low quality to me.

So in conclusion, you need a running cassette deck with demagnetized Heads, new belts, a pre amp and a digitizer, then you can digitize your analog cassette tape

I'd really like to be able to do Dolby Type-C noise reduction in software, from FLACs recorded from tapes.

The main problem there seems to be that Dolby NR is defined using reference levels, and since you're basically losing the absolute level information once you're passing the tape's signal through any variable-level recording setup.

I'm giving @Flipboard a try out in the hope that this will eventually become a feed on the fediverse. For now it's a magazine on Flipboard about cassette culture, the history, the aesthetics and highlighting artists who are offering their music on this resurging analogue physical format. #cassettes #CassetteCulture #music #analog #analogue #CompactCassette #retro #FutureFediverse
