  6. Picked up a very mouldy, broken, dirty #cassette in #KualaLumpur: a collection of songs by Frances Yip, an absolute #cantopop legend.

    Someone had been inside before, fixing a snapped-off leader tape by just connecting the magnetic tape directly to the reel. The card insert was bent and fox-eared and the jewel case cracked. Parts were covered in insect droppings.

    Replaced the felt pad and rusty screws, spliced in a new leader, straightened the tape shell with heat, cleaned, steamed and pressed the card, replaced the case and slip mats, reglued the labels... the mould came off with a few plays and now it looks and sounds great. It has its battle scars but it's alive and kicking, ready for another 46 years.

  16. I’m not entirely sure what started it, but a little while back I decided to start collecting all the Shamen albums on tape (Boss Drum was the last album I bought on tape before moving up to CDs), which soon ended up including the singles as well. I stopped after a while but I recently started again, picking up another couple. I’ve only got two more left to get now (I’m only going for the UK releases), if I can get the original Pro>gen single and the Hempton Manor album, that’ll be the lot I think!

    Yes I've seen that horrible concoction where they put + 5 volts somewhere that you can't protect your equipment if you don't know about that

    It's not like 48V phantom power on PA & studio 🎙️ hardware, which does nothing to your equipment if it is wired properly

    However this is not the case with all PC sound cards
    The ones that I used, only have tip sleeve for the mic input, but I made sure that they were wired that way. I could never use those by the way, an XLR microphone just sounds way better, the balanced input is key here

    You have pointed it out correctly, the regular XLR microphone input on a mixing console, has a different level of voltage and current in mili amperes, that it expects, than the line level output of a cassette deck
    You have to match those with a direct box.

    With home equipment it's also not feasible to use the microphone input of a sound card, which is just tip sleeve, thus unbalanced, and sent the high level line output of a cassette deck to it; you would get extreme levels of distortion.

    With professional audio, you always have to match the input levels of the channel strip, with the output levels of the device. With home audio you still have to match the input levels of your recorder with the output levels of your device.

    For the best results you still have to get a digitizer which is properly matched with its input levels towards the output levels of the tape deck.
