Today we record a podcast to tape / cassette. Is this something you should do? No. But it’s a fun experiment to run. For this experiment I record using the Tascam Ministudio Porta 02, a “vintage” home studio 4-track recorder. The full signal chain is: SM7b through the fethead, into the Rupert Neve Portico 5017, into the Yamaha MG10XU, and then into the Porta02. 00:00 - Intro 00:17 - Gear Used in Test 00:38 - Types of Cassettes 01:31 - History of Home 4 Track Home Studio Recording Decks 02:05 - How 4-Track Recorders Work 03:19 - Setting Up The Recording 04:41 - Test Recording 04:51 - Transferring the Cassette to the Computer 06:32 - Issue with Syncing to Video 07:13 - Podcast Recording Sample 07:49 - Final Thoughts 09:10 - Conclusion Subscribe For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join My YouTube Setup: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb Check the Frequently Asked Questions: https://podcastage.com/faq Vote For What You Want Reviewed: https://podcastage.com/vote NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.

Today I review the Royer R10, a miniature R121 for less than half the price. It is a very smooth figure 8 ribbon mic with a very mid forward sound and tame top end.

Today we compare the modern Shure SM7b to the original American Made 1973 Shure SM7. Is the updated version better than the version used to record Thriller (there…I said it), or did Shure make good updates?
