@@kalvynjr5966 Everyone becomes a critic on the internet 😂 Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate you! And don't worry, mean words from random people won't hurt me 😊

@@lawrencerasmus Hello Lawrence, is it possible this comment should be on the Fall Song Challenge video? You have a nice collection there! I'm curious what you'll come up with (if you're participating). Tape for the win!

@@424Recording Thanks for starting it in the first place, Mike! People really enjoyed this over the years including me, it must live on. I think you mentioned the schedule in one of your videos. Having your song on the compilation would make it extra special! This whole thing is a tribute to you, I had to use the outro 😁

@@guillaumealtamira7115 excited for your song, Guil! I wrote you on Discord, would you like to make an artwork for the compilation? I'm trying to find someone.

@@YellowJelloMusic ok let s flip flop my friend👍

@@guillaumealtamira7115 epic! Thanks a lot, appreciate it 😊

@@JeffHendricks let's do this! Can't wait to hear everyone's songs. Any idea what you will be doing, Jeff?

@@YellowJelloMusic I haven't decided yet, but I have tons of ideas! Hard to narrow it down to just one song.

@@JeffHendricks I understand. If only my phone recordings could speak 😂

@@MikeFoerster sounds good, Mike! What kind of song are you working on?

@@YellowJelloMusic It's a bluesy number, so it's definitely different than what I usually do. I'm learning how to use this machine so I can include it.

@@MikeFoerster trying out something new for this challenge is perfect. Both in genre and process, awesome!

Well well- hello again there, Mike! I have to wrap my brain around this 2488 too. So many possibilities! I want to see how you use yours!

@@JeffHendricks Don't worry, videos are on there way. They will be more of a recording process and discoveries.

@@jasonelambeth Mike started a very cool thing, it deserves to live on. Would you like to provide some artwork again, Jason?

@@YellowJelloMusic Sorry man, I have a lot going on this fall with playing shows and setting up at art markets. I don’t think I have the time!

@@jasonelambeth it's fine, I completely understand 🙂

@@vladdzuranyuk225 hell yeah, Vlad! Hope you'll join

@@camsellars Thank you so much, man! I appreciate it. Every comment like this makes it worthwhile. Also, you're the GOAT for telling that other guy off 😀

@@YellowJelloMusic of course man. i watched the whole video, loved it, went to the comments to applaud you, and then saw that guy and it infuriated me honestly lmao. brother probably couldn’t even name the first three strings on a guitar.

@@camsellars Haha 😁 I don't get why people feel the need to say stuff like that. If it's not constructive criticism, what's the point of spreading your negativity? Good to know your life sucks, moron 🤣

Thanks for the feedback! I know my weaknesses, I was having fun, it took an hour, I don't care it isn't perfect. Also, cringe is my second name :D

@@Ottophil yet it was worth wasting more time to write a comment 🤔

if that’s your attitude your time here isn’t worth much to anyone.

@@camsellars 🤝

@@kundybad oh well, me too, can't have it all 💁

@@alexfeigmusic of course you can. Doesn't mean you should 🤣 The sun will burn your retina if you stare into it for some time

⁠@@YellowJelloMusic it’s actually beneficial to your eyes and overall health but you never know until you try. Of course you can record an album in two days but should you?

@@alexfeigmusic I don't know if you're trolling but a quick search says this: Looking at the sun can (and does) cause short-term-and sometimes long-term-damage to your vision. Whether you're laying on a beach looking up at the sun or watching beautiful sunset, exposing your eyes directly to the sun's rays is never a good idea. Maybe I shouldn't but thanks for watching the video, hope you enjoyed it.

@@YellowJelloMusicI’m not trying to troll, except for the snarky comment about recording. I’m serious about sun gazing and its benefits but I understand that’s not what google or the medical industry want to promote. Keep making music though that’s never a bad idea, and I’m not trying to be sarcastic. Have a great day

@@alexfeigmusic I'm glad we can disagree but have a civilized debate, appreciate it. I'll keep making music until the day I die, it's my passion. Good day to you too, Alex 🙂

@@dustinhodell I actually never listened to this guy, could you recommend a song, please?

Better Together is a big song of his!​@@YellowJelloMusic

Never heard of this guy, do you mean the music style? Because he's using both of his hands for guitar and only his feet for drums

@@YellowJelloMusic Yes, he performed drums, guitar and vocals at the same time and recorded on 4 track. Super noisy.. There are videos where he is also holding a drumstick while playing. Sorry if my english is bad:) love your channel!!!!!

Oh, that's cool, do you know where I could find it? Your English is good, I'm not a native speaker either... Thank you, Vlad! What videos you like the most?

​@@YellowJelloMusicDamn i guess my comment got deleted because i posted a link to the video.. Just type in Jeffrey Novak live and it must be somewhere on RUclips. I like any videos on 4-track, I've recently got myself a fostex 250 and try to get as much information as possible about the recording while its in repair.

@@vladdzuranyuk225 oh, that's very possible. I haven't seen anything, not even a notification, must've been instant. I'll try to find it. What's wrong with the Fostex? I was binging videos before my Tascam arrived too 😅

@@greatcometmusic thank you so much, man! I see you're a fellow songwriter, I'm gonna check your stuff

@@greatcometmusic your album is great, well produced, nice sound. And you know how to write a song 😁

@@CardinalAnderson thank you, Mike, appreciate it! Waiting for your song video, excited

@@MikeFoerster means a lot, Mike! And I appreciate your support on Bandcamp ☺️

@@YellowJelloMusic No problem! You deserve it!

@@MikeFoerster if you say so 😅

@@Mofdarts Thank you, friend! Sending my regards your way 👋

@@whth24jhndsafg same 🤣

@@Mofdarts it means a lot to me, thank you! Greetings from Czech Republic, neighbor

@@DaveLecian I want 4 arms then 🤣 Pit stop sounds interesting 🤔

Was going to suggest something silly, like singing whilst playing a wind instrument... but singing through a kazoo (not technically a wind instrument!) would sound like cool distortion

@@MrKarlGP that's a great idea! Saxophone players use a similar technique to get those intense growly notes. They have to hum any kind of note that's different from the one they're actually playing (which is quite confusing for the brain too, I imagine 😅)

@@YellowJelloMusic You could attach a funnel to the end of the kazoo that you would normally hold in your mouth and tape the whole thing to a stand, so that you could move your mouth and lips enough to sing actual words through it rather than just "ooooo"

@@MrKarlGP 😮 big brain move! I have to try this

Lewis Floyd Henry :-)

Thanks, I somehow managed to play it half decently

Nice! I'm curious, Mike 🤘

@@YellowJelloMusic I have played guitar and drums before but just using my feet on the drums.

@@MikeFoerster yeah, that's walk in the park, doesn't fry your brain 🤣

@@brookmelee5983 I don't think so. How?

@@YellowJelloMusic Record on 1,2,3 - bounce those to 4. Record on 1,2 - bounce those to 3. Record on 1,2.

@@brookmelee5983 ah, right. I have a video about bouncing, too. But that doesn't make it 7 separate tracks in the true sense as I thought you were referring to. I misunderstood that, thanks for clarifying 🙂

@@YellowJelloMusic Yeah but it gets me drums, bass, synth/percussion, 2 guitars, 2 vocals

@@brookmelee5983 Bouncing is awesome! Where can I hear your music?

@@Hello-pl2qe thanks for your feedback and watching, appreciate it either way 😁

@@the_som Hey, challenges are most likely my favorite thing when it comes to doing music! What are some challenges you've done and recommend to try? Thanks for watching, it's really motivating to get this feedback, I always hope it inspires someone 💛

@@YellowJelloMusic I’ve tried and failed but want to try again to do the write/record an album in a day like this video you’ve made here. But other ones I’ve done that I recommend are write a whole album using an instrument you don’t know how to play or only know moderately how to play. For me that was piano. But I’ve also tried to record albums where I don’t use an actual drum set and instead make up a drum set with hand percussion or any other kind of percussive sound. I’ve done one that was a “quiet” album that I could record in an apartment so I ended up using a lot of electric drum & keyboard stuff. One of the things I’m really bad about doing is layering and layering so I’m currently working on one that won’t use anymore than 8 tracks so that means no bouncing. I’m not really sure how interesting those may be but that’s some of the stuff I’ve done. I look forward to checking out the whole album that you’ve made here as well as your other videos!

@@the_som Those are great, I'll add them to my list of challenges, thanks! I'm currently working on a kinda one man band challenge, recording everything simultaneously. Do you have a cassette 8 track?

@@YellowJelloMusic No, it’s a digital one. But I do have a 414 like yours as well as a 424! BTW I listened to the album you made for this video and really enjoy it. I’m planning on listening to the other albums you have on bandcamp. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the Elephant Six Recording but your stuff really reminds me of some of the stuff in that collective.

@@the_som I see, nice! Thank you so much! I've heard of them but never really listened to those bands so I guess it's a lucky coincidence

@@user-qk6is3gn6v I'm working on it! 😉 What type would you like the most?

@@michaelanderson8441 thanks a lot, Mike! Good luck with your trip, sounds great. I'd be happy if you could share it later with me on my Discord 🙂

@@YellowJelloMusic I would love to! What’s the discord?

@@michaelanderson8441 I think a link should be in the description and on my channel too

@@michaelanderson8441 looking forward

@@jonharp Thank you so much, Jon! Appreciate your support and buying the album 💛

@@davidbroad now you ruined it 😂 just kidding, thank you, David! Thinking about buying a 4-track or already a proud owner of one?

@@ivindsolberg7827 Haha, well put! 😂 Appreciate it, thanks for giving the video a shot ☺️

@@MikeFoerster Great idea! Just drive somewhere and use the trailer for recording, no need to move the gear 🤔

@@MikeFoerster Appreciate it, Mike! 😊 Definitely, no distractions, just focused on creating, would recommend

I'd recommend this experience to anyone, it was amazing! Thanks Guil

It was really beautiful! Of course but since I was busy with the song itself I didn't catch it, the rain didn't last long. Instead I have happy little accidents - birds singing in some tracks

You have a great sense of humor, Jason 😀

Excellent video man! Loved every minute of it. So cool that you got so much done in basically a day. You probably could have made a double album if you had two fulls days out there!

@@jasonelambeth thank you so much, Jason! (Jasons teamed up on me) 😅 Yeah, there were more challenges I wanted to try which would result in other songs

Probably in my car in the driveway. Wanted to do vocals and didn't want to wake the kids.

@@JeffHendricks smart, car is a nice vocal booth. Also recorded there once

When I was recording other people, we used wherever we could. I recorded in people's apartments, my parents house, other people's parent's house. We needed a room to record vocals and used a shower, the echo was amazing.

@@MikeFoerster Oh yeah, bathrooms are well known for the amazing reverb. I've just remembered we recorded in an old barn with my band, very effective for drums

Thus far, it's on top of an old retired fire watchtower. I use a Tascam Porta Two, and sometimes, I'll run it on batteries in fun places. I think I'll try recording at the beach by the ocean next!

No, it isn't going through the tape, I'm just using the preamps the Tascam has. They are nice and fuzzy. What machine do you have?

Not sure about Fostex 4 tracks and math definitely isn't my strength 😄 Tascam Portastudios go minor 3rd (3 semitones) to each side from the center. Have you tried googling any info about Fostex? Seems strange the only provided info would be in percentage...

Hello! Theoretically possible. Two cables of two RCA connectors -> stereo jack and setting your inputs in DAW as stereo might work. Two passes definitely won't line up.

What do you mean by the speed question? What pitch correction? It doesn't matter at what speed you're bouncing it to the DAW as long as it's the same speed you were recording it. Same as any other audio source, it will sound the same bounced as you can hear it from the 414

@@YellowJelloMusic Ah OK haven't tried yet from the 414. I thought maybe the high speed would mean that the tracks sent to the DAW wouldn't be 'normal' speed and would either need to be adjusted 2x faster or 50% slower (whichever direction it'd go).

@@jebbylawless nah, you're just transferring audio, same as recording anything through the interface, computer doesn't have any speed settings 😀 The only problem is putting a cassette into a regular tape deck or walkman which have a slower speed than 4 tracks do

Yo! Thank you for saying that. Why is it you think?

It’s not doing numbers while it should because this here is a proof of how easy it is to turn anything into a distortion/fuzz pedal and yet people still buy them for hundreds of dollars saying “it’s complicated to make” You just made a super easy “fun fact” video that’s short and sweet to watch

@@camenskycameron8413 true, it's ridiculous how much some fuzz pedals cost. Thank you for watching and the kind words, appreciate it!

Thank you! Yeah, I'm proud of the end 😀

Haha 😂 That will take some time, let me know when you're finished, I'll be waiting with that face 😄

Thank you very much, Guil! It is huge, right?

@@YellowJelloMusic louder than apocalypse buddy

@@guillaumealtamira7115 haha, watch out Cthulhu!

Hehe, thanks Mike! 😁

@@YellowJelloMusicMakes me want to pull out my 414 and see what I can come up with.

@@MikeFoerster definitely do it! So much fun and limitations force you to be more creative
