So the basic idea is a cassette tape contains tiny magnetic particles in a plastic tape. When bought new the magnetic particles on the tape are just randomised, but when recorded on to they become ordered based on the voltage levels of the signal that is recorded on to them. When played back they reproduce that variable signal amplified to drive loudspeakers to reproduce the original signal recorded to the tape. There are magnetic viewers that can see the magnetic patterns on recorded tape when held against it.
to resume a strip of plastic and rust powder ,ferric tapes ,oxid ferric tapes ,better than cassette metal type IV ,this talking about 1970 reel deck ,as in akai crossfield model X-165D at full speed ,still the best for recording oxid ferric tapes and digital or analog tape is still the better format, the ones who don´t agree don´t know nothing about sound recording, i was like 30 years of not using tapes but in 2017 i restored one of mine 68 cassette decks and because when in a warehouse were going to incinerate thousands of cassettes still in the card boxes i filled my biggest cars only leaving space for me to drive back to my home in total 460 km´s and after no boxes fitting in the car ,i started to open boxes and wherever there was a space in my trunk back seat and right front seat ,all tdk sa-x and hundreds of sony also ,only ux-pro, and more thousands were burned in a incinerator lot´s of thousands ,now i have since 2017 97 cassettes recorded with compilations and the cd player sounds far worst from cassette quality on a good deck, but a average deck is enough to make the cd sound recorded have more dynamics, this using type I cassettes, AR, AD and AD-X but tried some maxell UR i bought in 86 and perfect sound ,using a CT-93, CT-959 from pioneer ,akai GX-630D ,GX-95 ,teac V-1010, Z-5000 ,A-450(this after buying new my first cassette deck after only using reels, from Pioneer a ct-f2121), a couple of monthes after my father ofered me his older A-450 from teac also the nakamichi 1000ZXL and a CR-7a and a love affair started all of this because i sold my citroen DS21 and bought a BMW 3.0CSi with a pioneer radio cassette player inside before i had 8-track cartridges and a vinyl 45 r.p.m. player for the car it came on a pontiac le mans coupé(67) with also a 8-track player and also a radio AM player(original in the car)the singles player was branded Buik, all separated and speakers for each . Those decks i refer even today they if recorded from a cd and all are flat recorders or i would have add the DRM-800a from Denon, after being tired and for some types of music the minidisc deck player/recorder sounded bad so again cassettes ,DAT tapes are really expensive today and the ones i have recorded i will never record over, but tape is for sure the most adavanced technology since early 60´s till today it evolved a lot and in digital or analog recording
The audio cassettes were super fun!! My first ever cassette player was from a Sears. It did not have the rewind function, but I did not give a fudge back then. It was fun to clean the tape heads and demagnetize them. Now, I have a Sony MP3 Walkman; I don't have to clean it at all, and I can pack along about 300 (ripped) CDs wherever I go. I remember going to a music store in Honolulu, Hawaii and picking up Elton John's BREAKING HEARTS. I fudging loved Maxell tapes. I wanted to buy a VCR to record M*A*S*H, Three's Company, and Scooby Doo, but my parents did not have me. So, I got a mono portable cassette recorder to the record the shows. I had to edit out the commercials in real time. I had about 30 completed cassettes.
Same, I knew there were magnets involved but didn’t realize how fascinating it was how the recording actually got saved onto the tape. And we were that era of kids who recorded a bunch of things off the radio. I just found several tapes from when I was little of me singing, as far back as 1989. And it’s a joy to hear them again!
@@KristenOckertFineArt that's amazing. I know I made some recordings with my sisters, but I don't know if they exist anymore. I'd love to hear them! We used to record stuff all the time, it was a weekly, sometimes daily thing.
It uses optical similar to compact disc, but uses a regular light, and the recording is analog. If you look at film strips, the audio tracks are recorded at the side of the frames. With rise of DTS/Dolby Digital, the side of the film are recorded in binaries and decoded by computers to create multie channels. On DTS, the side of the film send digital commands to a DTS soundtrack audio using CD-ROM (which is similar to Vitaphone)
We can also record data by writing just like I did now. My data is saved now in the comment section. I consider writing to be a simple form of data storage as well, I can’t store music though.
Now I have a deck Pioneer CT-W606DR (in Europe it's like 616 in the US) autoreverse and digital noise reduction (love it), Pioneer A-450R (A400 with the tone control), and MonitorAudio Bronze 5 speakers. I listen to music from CDs, tapes, vinyl, FM radio, and Bluetooth. Think that's it.
Magnetic coating on plastic backing . Cassette tape backing is mutch thiner , floppy disc plastic backing is mutch thicker , same concept, in a different media.
I like them playing a cassette now it was made in 1987 with a walkman f18 and headphone jack going to a big wooden stereo cabinet from the early 70s because it's got the 4 speed record player the Teledyne Packard Bell amplifier and original speakers sounds amazing

Disrespectfull
Thank you so much
What
Who the hell thought about this, and who the hell made it work? It’s just amazing what people have come up with over the centuries.
Our band still makes a decent bank selling tapes. We even record shows on tape
They missed the most important part... the magnet record sounds into geometric shapes... sound naturally create shapes.. look up cymatics

Are you kidding me?
I recently bought a portable cassette player and a cassette tape for a Star-Lord cosplay and I've become weirdly fascinated with them
i have one in my moms car
I’m 42 and I just realised I had no idea how music/recording got put on film…
Same!!

@@diegosilang4823 what a beautiful example of mansplaining
Important details about our disappearing funds and the effort to retrieve them.

...great video...still have my 2000-plus
enjoy them very much.
A video on how cassette tapes work that never explained how they work.

this means i could save doom on one of these. i had no idea cassettes had actual bytes
listening to this on a tape player
Are cassette tape recorders still in use in some other countries than India?
🤩 wow!
WOAH THIS IS REALLY COOL
does the plastic tape in audio cassette similar with the one they used in a floppy disk diskette?
Floppy disk does not have tape
Magnetic coating on plastic backing . Cassette tape backing is mutch thiner , floppy disc plastic backing is mutch thicker , same concept, in a different media.
Witchcraft and sorcery!

wadaw
Phillips is Dutch lol
Grammar could be better

Forgot to add the amplifier says loudness not volume pretty cool
Wonderful! Nowadays we are gradually losing these wonderful sound systems.
