This is the coolest tape echo unit imo with that lush reverb and the configurations available+multiple heads

I love my SpaceCase TE-1. It sounds insanely wonderful. I used to have a Crudman cassette mellotron (www.crudlabs.org). It was pretty cool, but didn't work in my flow. I also have a Tascam 246 (which I love), and a Tascam 112, which I use for mix coloring/mastering. I also have an 1/8" splicing block and leader tape so I can make custom loops and musique concrète-style weirdness with cassettes.

I desperately want a Nagra SNST.

Tape is rad.

Finally scored one of these! And even cooler is it was owned by Alessandro Cortini from NIN!!

Awesome. I had to hold off the recent pre order due to cash flow problems. Looking forward to hearing what you do with it.

I loved using tape to record. I'd still do it if I could.

not only do i compose with it, but i frequently use it as a source, you can record at super speed, and play it back at a crawl...
you can turn the fastest techno, into the doomiest funeral doom ever...

I have it on good authority that you'll be upgrading your living space soon, so I'm going to call bullshit on that one.

Tentacle Tape?

EDIT: Actually, I have something to contribute...literally my studio

[MrNovember]

I am really gassing for some tape in my life. I had to pass on the latest OM-1 sale as well because I had no funds. I also love the Nagra SNST

[popvulture]

You have one of these!?!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ1o1RZr2hE[/youtube]

That is so cool! I have not seen those yet... let me know if you decide to sell it.... i'm sure it's very easy to ship

Yep that's the one! It's like the shitty Portastudios we had in high school, just like... actually nice and quite professional

Tons of records have been made on em... I think Paul's Boutique? Lots of Ty Segall's stuff, White Fence. It can sound super pristine or get really crusty. It has this great dbx noise reduction button that doesn't really reduce noise so much as squash the shit out of everything in a great way. I'll definitely let you know if I sell it, and yes... not easy to move, would VERY much be staying local haha.

[popvulture]

And should add that I wasn't ragging on Portastudios... I love those things. It just funny as hell to think that the 388 was sorta the previous version.

I mean I'll have to convert it to digital anyways. So why have all this tape shit, then convert it afterwards?

Here's an example of the Studier B67 if anyone is interested in checking it out
