I think they made a book about the recording sessions and techniques, etc. of the Beatles, there's bound to be a lot of information coming from George Martin in there, probably some about him too.

this would be it, yeah?

i assume your using a laptop which would be why, hard drives running @ 4200rpm

maybe try with an external drive, might work if you have firewire

hey there

you might want to check out cockos reaper
i'm using it on an old p4 tower and it works great (with asio)

they also have a great trial, you can use the program until you want to pay(maybe has a 30 sec. nag screen when you boot up)
plus i think if you want to purchase it is 60 bucks

i used "the demo" for months before buying, love it now

Would something like this be suitable for doing cassette tape loops?
http://www.accessguitar.com/inventory/tascam/porta2.html

you can use any and all cassette decks for tape loops as the loop is all inside the cassette, 4 tracks are boss for cassette tape loops, but some portable ones are great too, built in condensers, variable speeds and dirty heads all to boot

i think trying too modify a cassette deck would be a huge pain in the ass, i think someone has done it though, much much easier with a reel to reel.

you can get 10 to 12 sec loops on cassette with some machines

I must be stupider than the average bunch here but how do you do a complete erase or delete everything once your done with the loop your working on.  I might be blind but i can't seem to see it in the manual.

I know you can erase tracks with the punch in button but....


Thanks

Track down a second hand hi-fi store in your city, the kind with all those old silver face yamaha and sansui amps and funny looking speakers.  They will almost definitely have some reel to reels kicking around, if your lucky they will also repair stuff, so your reel to reel should be working, and if it breaks they might/should fix it for you.

I grabbed an old sony from the 60s and i works great, 100 bucks with a reel of tape.

As for cassettes, cheap cheap cheap. There is a thread here on making tape loops. javascript:void(0);
