Why I Love Tascam Cassette Tape Machines So Much!

The Tascam 424 Portastudio and why I love it for music production. This vintage unit is one of my favorite tape machines. In this video we will talk about the pros and cons of owning a tape machine, how to pick out cassette tapes, the differences between a cassette deck and analog tape. We will also hear live samples using the recording from my song Unbound. We will check out the pitch controls, eq, and before and after in real time. I will also show you how to use this awesome deck in case you have one, are looking to learn more, or just curious about the music making process. We will also discuss why I decided to choose a tape machine and how I record music with the Tascam 424.
