Lofi and Ambient Production Tip | Cross-Format Cassette Processing

The beauty of analog equipment is that cross/compatibility is not only possible, but can result in some lovely side effects. Here, I'll discuss some ways to spice up your Ambient, Lo-fi, and Experimental music production with some tricks to kickstart the creative process.

Was experimenting with recording and playing back across various cassette players/recorders I have in my setup and thought it would be worth documenting them in a little video. I often find that exploring these "technical" experiments allow me to make more informed creative decisions with my music. I wanted to share what I learned so hopefully others can build off of these techniques in their own music!

Note: uploaded this video 3 times as there were a few technical difficulties the first time round upside down smile emoji
