This is a whole string of sounds involving a handheld cassette player, including removing the cassette from the case, rewinding, fast-forwarding, stopping, and playing. The music played is my own that i've recorded so it is included in the creative commons license. This is meant to be a wide range of sounds that you can edit and pull out just what you need.
3 little boys fooling around with their "first sony", a cheap cassette taperecorder. Recorded in 1991 on christmas morning. I had to denoise it,because quality of recording was very poor, little reverb.
only 90's kids will remember. . The sound of a generic car-stereo tape-deck's motor. Slightly eq'd to narrow the spectral range of the low-quality recording device. Recorder: smartphonedate & time: ?location: fremont, ca (usa).
Me opening the cassette slot, unloading, and reloading a tape to a sony handycam ccd-tr750 that i have. Recorded with an audio technica atr 6550 microphone.
I opened a box, went through the cassette tapes, took one out, took the tape out of the plastic box, inserted it in the cassette player, pressed play, then pressed stop. Mono recording.
This is an aif (garage band) file of just good ol' tape hiss recorded from a jvc tape machine (cassette). It's just tape hiss. You can change the freq to help blend it in your recordings. I have the volume on this at a higher level. When i blend this with my digital recordings i turn it down just enough to hear it without it being too analog sounding. Hope you can use it. It's great for soft passes and solo instruments, much like white noise of a studio perhaps.
This is a sound effect i generated that simulates the background noise of a vhs tape from ca. 1991. It is basically pink noise at approx. 0. 01 dbs and sawtooth wave at 60 hz, both combined with audacity. It is ideal for adding to video projects on i. E. : sony vegas to recreate the effect of vhs. Enjoy this sound effect.
Cheap no-name tape player playing a cassette during a squeaky moment. I opened the walkman-esque player for this and put the zoom h2n recorder directly on top of the tape being played. Hold up, let me take a picture. Less weird version: https://freesound. Org/people/qubodup/sounds/622237/.
Cheap no-name tape player playing a cassette during a squeaky moment (quite a long moment, this has been going on for at least 10 minutes by now - time for some wd40?). The zoom h2n recorder was standing next to the walkman style player. Slightly weirder version: https://freesound. Org/people/qubodup/sounds/622236/.
My vcr rewinding a vhs tape. Sounds pretty gnarly at the end. Recorded with a jm27 into my zoom h4n. As a side note, this sound was a real pain to record. Every time i set up the mic, it seemed like the ac would come on, the dog would bark, or some other sound would ruin the recording. Whatever, i got it done.
This is probably one of the best snares i have made yet. Hard transient, tape saturated, and squashed to bits, when played with very bright sounds and heavy bass, this really can handle it, and cut through.
We wanted to add some tape delay to a piano track we were recording. This is an artifact that came from routing the third delay track back to the source track. Essentially, a quick two second feedback loop. Recorded with a peluso p12 and an akg 414.
