Running around testing recording levels before I go recording the full track to tape (so I can practice with tape and sax at the same time)

I wrote up a blog post to help with our idea for the next project we do revolving around going DAWless. I wrote it mostly for us, but perhaps folks might find his ramblings somewhat useful:

Our flirtations with going DAWless – Victim Cache

I've been under the weather this week so myself a treat and played with recording some chiptune goodness using 2 GameBoys into a Portastudio! 4-bit digital into analog yum!

Look at this beauty! 😍

Ever since I made my very first recordings back in the 90s I wanted one of those. And now I found a used one. Can't wait to explore this!

Playing around with my Portrastudio 424mk3. Yes, we have too many projects going on at once but we grabbed up one of these as an experiment with going DAW-less. There's no real goals here other than to try it and exercise the fundamentals as it were and work within some intentional limitations.

With only 4 tracks, songs we make on this thing aren't likely to be in stereo, and we want to avoid bouncing tracks as much as possible. So that means pretty much just 4 things. Among the ideas were Vocals or Bass, Guitar or Bass, Piano or Sax, and OB6 or Modular (and maybe a drum machine).

I used an OB6 and Piano here. Actually, it was an Ableton Piano instrument but when we do this for real, I'll be playing my real piano now that I have a decent way to record it. You'll be hearing piano in some of the upcoming songs we'll be releasing (including a new synthwave one we're pretty excited about). And sax too, of course!

Anyways, tape is awesome!

Why Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere could spark a new wave of interest in the Teac 144 Portastudio, the 4-track cassette recorder that triggered a home recording revolution
