Mario DiSanto, you are what I aspire to be.

To be honest the price of these vintage microphones is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! and it's time there was price cap put on these GREEEEEEEEDY PARASITES!!!!!

I love this

I swear you managed to get the syd barret era pink floyd sound effortlessly.

interesting

🔥🔥🔥

When I first started playing drums whenever I would drive I would listen to music and have a drumstick in the car hitting all snare parts to try to get the left hand independence, it helped immensely. I am going to focus on the left foot now, Thanks for the tip Mario!

In terms of tuning, definitely advocate ditching the tuner and tuning to a piano but tuning to a harmonica was a thing too! Great vid by the way!!! 👍😁

Quick question. Have you ever had a problem on your MS-16 with channels not playing in repro? All my tracks play in sync but 2 channels will not switch to repro. Can you hear a difference in sound quality between the sync and repro heads for mixing down? Thanks

i got mine for $40 but it had bad solder joints, but it took 5 min to fix

I wanna play a real kit but don't want my neighbours to hear me.

I like the sound of Bass Drum of death, they are a garage rock/punk band

Sounds more early 60s garage-y surf

I'm simple. I see A Must for Every Dummer, I click!

It's not bad but it's definitely lo-fi; probably moreso than a real 1950's recording. I'd imagine that the lack of a band, other sound engineers, and a recording studio with the proper acoustics might have something to do with it. Very interesting and informative video though.

DID YOU GET A NEW CONSOLE?

Hey Mario. What do you think about those Shure Preamps (on your shelve)? Are they any good? I'm running a little all-analogue 4-Track-homestudio in Germany and can get a pair of them for a fair price. Great video!

yeaa you're Gonna love bouncinG tracks!- much love broham.

I was recently trying to fix an off brand walkman and i spent forever trying to get the motor and mechanisms working and then when i finally did the audio output died, no sound, no hum, no nothin... All i wanted to do was add a speed control and use it for tape loops and making weird ambience and sound effects to add to my songs but i gave up 😂 they're fun to mess with when they work, luckily i paid basically pennies for it since it was in a box of random electronics I bought. I wouldn't use a cassette for any kind of recording i wanted clean and consistent, maybe just punk demos at best or weird ambient stuff since the inconsistency can add nice variation and texture to a drone. I basically buy every one I see for like 5 bucks or less just because I've learned they're basically ticking down to the time they inevitably break down completely. I think you can still buy cassette recorders or walkman knockoffs on like Amazon but I've never tried one to know if it's worth spending the money or if they last a decent amount of time.

Way back when I played drums my teacher got me playing quarters and eighth notes while changing time signatures. Very good for the mind

I asked my friend (Brandon) to run your drum solo thru the ol 'tempo machine'. ...he said it was fine..."close enough for rock and roll" (lol)

Brandon is such a dick

PUT DOWN THE CLICK, BRANDON!!!

Thanks 🎶🥁

Ahh yes, dummers

This is part of a big lesson my one of guitar teachers taught over a decade ago: tap your foot to keep time and always know where beat 1 of the measure is. And great video as always, Mario!

fun stuff!

Because garage music is all about metronomic left feet. When chaos uses Excel.

Hi! That's a very good idea to make music lessons too! You never miss the point! As my name's Thomas Lafitte (my girlfriend laught... "leftfoot"), I must confess my left foot's my biggest problem! Thank's a lot for this lesson, it's usefull for me!

Dummer

You are hundred percent correct, all musicians need to keep time with the left foot. This was one of the first things I learned in band class in 6th grade, and I was playing French Horn. It helps anchor your counting. I will admit I'm not always good at doing this on the drums, self taught and I like to manipulate my hats a lot, so the left foot gets too busy. So I count. I practice counting in the car to music the same way you tap.

Where do you position your tilt screw? I switched mine to the near side under where I strike the high hat so I get an overbite. My hi hat quit eating my sticks

a must for every dummer

🤘

Love your style, man!

8:21 Were you referring to "ghost notes?" Nontheless, this lesson is a very relevant one!

think thats crap try fixing a DAT! Total horseshit

I learned guitar by ear in the 80s and the random speed from deck to deck was a bitch cause it changed the pitch of the tune. Usually sharp.

Do you mean compact cassettes? Micro cassettes are an entirely different beast, more commonly found in dictation and answering machines.

This video explains the essence of repairing a vintage cassette deck on point. Dude, every aspect, every fact, every lesson you speak about is just on point.

I was just thinking to myself the day before that I haven’t seen and new videos and here you are! Microsets are so messy to deal with!

Great video Mario, good to see you back.

Great video Mario! I’ve had so many problems with my tascam portastudio, the forth track isn’t recording. Im gonna open it up and have a look into it today, probably just a wire that’s come unsoldered which I’ve heard has happened with someone online with my particular machine. Haven’t been able to record anything for a while since I’ve had massive writers bloke but I’m writing songs now which is good and it’d be great to record my ideas.

should have told me this before I bought a Tascam 488

Awesome video! Thanks for getting into the nitty gritty of the mechanics. I gotta go to a yard sale and pick up a tape player.

There's no reason in 2024 to consider using a micro cassette player... Scrub that. They're everywhere! Why?

Mario Mario! Your fans want to see another song writing video. The ones where you take an idea from zero to hero as you can only do.

"overcome your limitations and find your sound naturally thru that process" ...well said brother !
