Video: $12 LOFI Machine aka "My Adventures with Microcassettes"
For the past three months, I've gone deep into the world of microcassette recorders. What started as a quick experiment, me singing a few notes into my Panasonic dictaphone, quickly ballooned into a full-on obsession: I now have six microcassette recorders of varying makes and models, each of which sounds completely different. This video is a chronicle of my ongoing adventures.

Hi David, I quite the crew you for a while, I'll come back later, I'm waiting for a better times in my inner world to supporting you. Still waiting for your content, still loving it! Very glad to be part of your work, love using your tools, long life to you and patreon. See u soon.
Well this seems like a lot of fun!! 💜 I've had this old Sony for a number of years, it has all the same features plus a couple, but takes full size cassettes. I think the belt finally gave out on it though, so I really need to crack it open one of these days. Where did you get the pack of belts? I definitely need to get one of those.
I actually picked up a Panasonic RR-900D recently with the foot switch. Controller it with your feet adds a lot of value to the machine as a quasi-looper. Great video!
Ah, that’s really cool! The day I was finishing this video up, a Panasonic RR-830 I had ordered finally arrived. It’s the same machine as the 930, but it uses regular cassettes.
