  1. I suspect that a #cassetteRecorder with AC bias would do a better job capturing and playing back #FLdigi / #FLamp encoding for storing and retrieving files. Better than the ones I have with DC bias

  2. To get the sibilance into a reasonable range and to not lose the base in the #cassette fuzz (DC bias recorder). I am currently using a 2-pass "Full Base" EQ and the compressor in #VLC to pre-process the file. Heavier bass and lighter tenor seems to result in "less snake hissing" vocals when playing the tape back.

  7. I was mad that I don't own a cassette version of Dio's Holy Diver, so I'm making my own. I almost forgot I could do that. Tapes are cool.

  12. I stumbled across a cassette tape of an Alvvays album I didn't realized I owned, so on my first walk of the day I blasted that through my cheap 5 dollar wired headphones on my generic brand cassette player and had a lovely time. Dreamy.

  28. On est dimanche matin, il est encore tôt, mais peut-être, je dis bien peut-être, que je suis en train de numériser une #compilation #cassette qu'on m'a prêté, et dont je ne connaissais absolument pas l'existence, et qui peut-être, je dis toujours bien peut-être, contient des morceaux inconnus de #Katerine et #DominiqueA pour les artistes les plus connus. Peut-être. En tout cas, ça annonce un superbe dimanche.

  31. The #FrugalFilmProject, July 2025: The One Where We Tried To Expose Both Sides

    This month I thought it would be fun to try something different with the Golden Wonder (a.k.a the Welta Penti II, half-frame Rapid camera). EBS photography, or Expose Both Sides, is exactly what it sounds like. First exposing a film normally in the camera — with the emulsion side facing the subject — but then reversing the film, reloading that into the camera, and exposing the whole film again — this time with the emulsion side facing away from the subject.

    There are a few factors that need to be borne in mind when conducting EBS photography, like slightly underexposing each side so that the multiple exposures balance out to give a ‘properly exposed’ film, and deciding whether its important to you if the frames on each side are lined up or not. I loaded the Golden Wonder with a canister of Harman Phoenix, but this time I inserted a little bit of film into the take-up canister and marked the position of the film gate on the film. By doing this I hoped that I could line up the frames when I exposed the other side of the film. I reset the frame counter to zero, closed the camera, and fired off two shots to take the counter to ‘1’.

    We took the camera to Barra, where I took photographs around the beach, and later finished the roll in Oliveira do Bairro. When metering the exposures I tried to underexpose the film slightly by taking each image 1-stop under the suggested reading from the Camera Meter app. Once the film was exposed, it was time to turn it over and reload it back into the Golden Wonder. Inside the dark bag I fed the previously exposed film into another Rapid canister, but this time I fed it backwards, as if for redscaling, with the emulsion side facing outwards. 

    Once loaded into the canister, I pulled a bit of film out of the canister until I could see the gate markings that I made for the first exposure. I marked the emulsion side of the film with the markings in the same position and loaded the canisters into the camera so the film was in the same position. I then reset the frame counter to zero, closed the camera, and fired off two shots to take the counter to number ‘1’. By doing this, I hoped that the frames on each side were lined up.

    I took the Golden Wonder on a walk around Águas Boas, a nearby village, and photographed walls, trees and various textures. When taking the photos I held the camera upside down so that the orientation of the images on the both sides would be in the same direction. On completion, the film was taken to Forever Blue in Aveiro and scanned at home with an Epson Perfection v750 Pro flat bed scanner and Epson Scan software. I’ve posted the whole roll in an album on my Flickr, light leaks and all, if you want to see the rest of the images. 

    On return from the lab, looking at the negatives one thing was immediately apparent: the frames weren’t lined up. In fact they were almost precisely 50% off, so there was a big band down the centre of the first exposure which was the ‘between frames’ unexposed part of the film of the second exposure. Also, the ‘redscaled’ second exposure was well overexposed compared to the first exposure, so most of the details of the first exposure were completely lost. I had tried to underexpose the second exposure by going 1-stop unter the exposure, but clearly it didn’t work.

    A couple of the images came out really well, and I was pleased there was some success, but most of them were an unintelligible mess. At the end of the roll, there were a few more redscale images, and these came out really well. I’m definitely going to try some EBS with Rapid films again, though, but next time I might use a different camera to the Golden Wonder. Still, it’s now challenging me to get the frames lined up.

  33. Have you seen the ads for that Rewind tape player? A portable cassette player with a non-user-replaceable rechargeable battery seems like a bad idea to me. In 3-5 years it will cease to be portable. Unless you carry an external battery pack with it? Just have it use AA batteries and people can use rechargeable AAs if they want. I love the renewed interest in the format, but we can make a better, longer-lasting, user-friendly device with modern technology.

  34. Después de esperar mucho, recibí una radiocassette idéntica a aquella que me encontré en la basura cuando era niño. La limpié, arreglé el cable, cambié la correa y como por arte de magia se repite la misma historia y la misma ilusión 🙃

  36. I honestly forgot I got these, some French company made some modern cassette players with some modern niceties (Bluetooth, usbc charging etc. I hear reception to these is pretty mixed but I ordered these before the pandemic started. #cassette #WeAreRewind #walkman
