- Can I write and record an analog album in just 2 days on Tascam 414 4-Track Cassette Tape Recorder?
I booked a tiny house in the middle of nowhere to get away from all distractions so I can write and record an analog album on acoustic instruments and enjoy a relaxing glamping retreat… and the pressure of this challenge.
And if one challenge wasn’t enough, we have more!

What's the most interesting place you've recorded at?
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
Deliciously weird, quirky and very inspiring! Love it! Great stuff! Thanks!
@@ivindsolberg7827 Haha, well put! 😂 Appreciate it, thanks for giving the video a shot ☺️
Awesome recording trip, and yeah, all this gear😮 totally fan of the project, turn into zen and creation, a big big yellow here💛💛💛
I'd recommend this experience to anyone, it was amazing! Thanks Guil
I love doing these challenge things, myself. Thanks for videoing yours and putting it out for others to witness your creative process. This was really inspiring!
@@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
Very inspiring man! I’ll be planning a camping trip in the near future to record a song in a day, thank you for this 🖤 keep pushing and making music!
@@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
Awesome video and effort!
@@jonharp Thank you so much, Jon! Appreciate your support and buying the album 💛
more videos pls
@@user-qk6is3gn6v I'm working on it! 😉 What type would you like the most?
You are funny af!
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
Cool! I'm going to have to pick up the songs from bandcamp! Did it help being all by yourself up there?
@@MikeFoerster Appreciate it, Mike! 😊 Definitely, no distractions, just focused on creating, would recommend
Looked like an idyllic location! Were you tempted to record the heavy rainfall for one of the tracks?
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
If you plan to do this again, you should rent a trailer to lug all your equipment.
@@MikeFoerster Great idea! Just drive somewhere and use the trailer for recording, no need to move the gear 🤔
Id enjoy this video more if you had your shirt on, just being honest 😂
@@Hello-pl2qe thanks for your feedback and watching, appreciate it either way 😁
