New tool for DJ scratching: Cassette tapes!

[@travesstray2790]

if it was 1988 he would've been rich!!!!

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

[@gangsterpelon13]

Yup

[@ETwOneE21]

This is still ahead of its time. Imagine the possibility of using it as a studio instrument. Take on stage as a spotlight moment. This is still relevant

[@disasteraka]

I can actually cut ,scratch and transform off of a casette tape ... real talk people don't believe me I gotta show EM. I'll have a video soon.

This goes to show you there's more to DJ scratching than just vinyl. This DJ is sheer unadulterated genius. Anybody can become their own Dj that got heart. And his invention is keen at its finest.

[@DJTailSpin96]

from a dj view.... hell yeah... 20yrs too late... but i like it... i like the guitar part... and how he made the crab scratch feature...

[@MRSTU1210]

OMG that is amazing,what a great idea genius dude,well done

[@seydevilchick8]

Mr Tape 1991 Dmc peep it out

[@technick78]

First thing I thought of hey! Although this guy's approach is really cool. So simple but such a great idea.

[@theseanwardshow]

Wow this dude is a genius

[@Super73VW]

Love the Epic Mr. Bungle Tee!! Great Idea Man!

[@michaelpierson170]

definitely props,I like what u've done! very innovative! keep up the effort to it!

[@Benlyrical]

Epic brother keep the scratch movement rolling in different ways 👊🏻

[@sagawa_kuristina]

Anyone interested in this should look up 'Tape Deck Scratching' on here :) it first started with reel to reel boxes, then later boom boxes, both you can find on youtube.
In countrys where you could not get decks, you made it happen with tapes

[@struong57]

That's pretty innovative! He seems to be a true musician.

[@justinsh3039]

Very cool! Somebody tell him what Kickstarter is!

[@pcaetano7527]

NEW LOL
Laurie Anderson and others did this decades ago. see the Tape-bow violin from the 1970s.

[@AVAMagneticlev]

Very nice work from old basic stuff.
I like it !

Where the f*** was this man at 25 years ago? he would have made life much simpler...

[@thomasdupont7186]

nobody would have like you anyway...

[@kona702]

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is that I am MORE than impressed!!!!Well....maybe I can say a little more...lol! :---->(Also I'm really really sorry that this comment is so damn long...lol) (My fingers just started flying and 10 minutes later we have this beauty: ---> So.....This is one of the better ideas that I have seen in such an awfully long time. You should patent the setup and design a standardized circuit and experiment with compacting it all into a neat package that can be marketed, possible portable, and maybe rechargeable. I would do this by making the actual "unit" as light and portable as possible, but maintain a solid build quality. Ive seen a lot of products fail because people tried to make them TOO light and people equated that with cheap...(Sony Walkman is a great example, you would buy a heavier metal compositon, rather than featherweight plastic, even though this had nothing to do with performance and quality, its only human sensory perception.) I would also make the "heads" mounting large enough to fit in the DJ's hand, much like you have but more professionally and factory manufactured from professional design of course. The whole unit would be professionally made at the end for aesthetics like every product is. To maintain portability I would probably engineer a single BUS style output plug...sony had these on a lot of DAT and MD machines. You would connect a separate box (sold separately of course) via a cable to a 7-15 pin connector on the actual unit itself,...and a small external box would hold ports for all of the most common (modern and vintage) connector jacks for plugging the wires to transmit the sound. (I would include this for free with the unit of course, Sony stupidly always sold them separately and I feel it really damaged those "porto" digital recording devices and made them MUCH less appealing.)The only thing that I would consider offering separately is perhaps a line of cheap, readily available, and portable adaptor units for someone who has legacy equipment. As well as maybe for an Audiodork like myself, that is trying to plug and connect components with somewhat ubiquitous and obscure uncommon connector plugs. You have gold here and you need to act fast and manufacture a prototype that is neat and looks professionally made. Maybe a cork board with easily swappable tracks where you can easily affix the tape with clips, tape, glue, or sticky stuff...whatever....Make it attractive enough and market it right and you may create a popular useable product. Lots of room for error with this stuff so think hard and clearly and be careful in your design or marketing. Make DJ's want this...demonstrate it. A fantastic ideology to stick with during production of a product like this is to make a product that is COMPLETELY independent and does not require additional equipment or require the user to purchase other components in order to use this unit that you are currently marketing. If the user doesn't have a tape deck to record their own samples to mix down from, they will have to buy a tape deck or autopsy pre-recorded tapes to cut them up, in that route, they are limited to audio samples recorded by someone else. So...a great idea to combat this i would say is to include maybe a small microcassette bay on the back side of the unit that holds the main electronics, or maybe the attachable connection box...sky is the limit with ideas and conception. This would include of course separate inputs so you can record the audio of your own choosing to manipulate (or scratch) onto a tape track done all on the SAME UNIT!!!! (Also I say microcassettes because they are still in mass production and I see them outlasting even the standard compact cassette nearing its final production) (TONS of law firms, court rooms, businesses, and even blind workers still massively use microcassettes for their archival or transcription purposes, and their are millions of said machines still in daily use and manufacture even).Therefore you wont have to hunt for strips of tape with audio on them. Also this feature...ill call it "on the fly dubbing," or whatever something to that effect, will give a DJ the freedom to quicky record audio on the fly DIRECTLY from the source that they are going to use as their background/mix baseline track to mix down from. This will introduce seamless noise shaping and even though the pitch is always changing as you move your "heads" along the tape, it is all relative to the original source material so it is moving in tandem with the relation of the up and down motions within the same note and bar, just the pitch changes when you "scratch your tape." Also the pitch would vary directly in line and again, in tandem, with the source material EVEN WHEN MOVING THE SCRATCH HEAD IN REVERSE. The main note will remain the same still and it will sound awesome!!!!!!!!! (A lot to comprehend and think about but if you are a music addict such as myself all that will make perfect sense.) Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want more ideas or want to try to have a little fun and make a working better prototype to present, send me a note. If you are at all interested in exploring this or even just BSing about the possibilities, message me so maybe we can work with each other and would be cool if somehow we could manage to get something together. I know a lot about this "stuff" and it certainly seems that you share this knowledge and passion right along with me. I will truthfully admit that I have thought of this in the past (to an extent) But only used the method of dragging tape across stationary heads for effect (all good mixologists and sound engineers have). But never quite had that "eureka moment" you had, which allowed you the ability to conceptualize the ease and functionality of the process the way that you have envisioned it...I feel dumb I never thought of moving the HEADS along a stationary strip of tape, rather than moving a strip of TAPE across a stationary head. This method you have shown opens up a whole new world, greatly improving the change speed and direction, speed switch time by moving the head rather than the tape. This way you have shown is MUCH more accurate. Cheers,Sean

Ok, this is actually pretty freak'n cool. I'd use it.

TRANSFORM CUT A CASSETTE, NOW THATS PHUNKY...WISH I HAD MY CASSETTES I WOULD TRY THAT...

[@motion2freedom]

it's fun, but you can't let the tape play after you've done scratching. You need to control the drive somehow! That would be cool!

[@leonardturner5052]

I want one breh.

[@michaelwilcox5168]

Wait til they get it and then try to find a cassette tape.
