Project Blog 4 – Cassette Tape

An idea that came along during the first steps was to record the main pad chord progression from the modular to cassette tape and from the cassette then back to Ableton, that would give some texture to the sound to achieve a more lo-fi feel that could remind to early ambient and music scores from the 80s. These techniques are being used more commonly in recent years, due to the movements of “nostalgia” trying to recreate obsolete recording methods in order to achieve a retro sound. However, the sound quality can be obviously affected but in terms of experimentation and process I think it could be interesting, I’ve got a Technics cassette deck from 1982 and a new Komplete Audio 6 interface so hopefully the recording will be done properly.
